time I've been trying to write an article on dance in films of John Ford and its crucial importance within the structure of his films (placed in any way less at random, but Ford was drunk smarter than your whore mother.) All this comes following the work that had to do last year to Charles Columbus (Carlos Colon), analyzing the music folklore in the John Ford films (if anyone wants to read it command, if you do not want to read you can see the photos , which has many). And there's a scene that keeps me mesmerized each time I see it, and I come from childhood. As this article may take a while, I stay with this scene, which is not dance, but almost. Ford had Puntazo antinarrative in the middle of the movie where the characters, Irish all (whether Indian, American or Welsh) burst to sing in heavenly harmony. Scrotumtightening just moments that one will strike a chord. And this is Rio Grande . And Rio Grande appears Maureen O'Hara. And boy was I in love with Maureen O'Hara, an Irish red hair like no other here playing a woman with her two men in the army, husband and son. And Ford is using music to tell its position (but in a subtle way, not what Amenábar). The film has a leitmotif used instrumentally, I'll take you home again, Kathleen , typical of American folklore song (even Elvis version), and also in the middle of dinner, burst a series of military musicians to entertain a song to the guest (can not remember now what is, sorry). The time stops and the music sounds. We are all enthralled with the poetry of Ford. And to Maureen O'Hara.
And I leave here I'll take you home again, Kathleen , played by Ken Curtis & The Sons of the Pioneers, the group's good son Sean Feeney.
Ford would use this song in one of his greatest works, The Quiet Man, with the same protagonist, Maureen O'Hara, in that magical place called Innisfree.
