The Western as national self-portrait, admiring and unsettled. Ford framed Monument Valley against doorways and communities against the men who protect them but cannot join them.
Signature
- Doorway framing — the outsider held at the threshold.
- Monument Valley as a recurring, near-authored landscape.
- Community ritual — dances, funerals, meals — given real screen time.
- Frontier myth celebrated and increasingly doubted.
