One tiny mention about Ford's use of shadows. Well at least it is acknowledged I guess. Problem as I see it is that the man's work is still communicating with the audience and the extensive history and Hollywood/industry info. in the article is necessary too, the reasons for the fact that this guy's work is still touching people today should be given a little more attention.

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it. |
The article should mention that most of his films are widely seen as racist. ( 81.159.6.100 ( talk) 04:01, 29 December 2017 (UTC))

The article, although very long, tells a detailed sequence of events but sort of skips over the heavy influence that John Ford's work had on film. Nowhere is it mentioned, for instance, whether any particular work is considered a masterpiece (or perhaps a masterpiece of his Western style, etc.)

The Personality section is very long with lots of detail, but very few sources. Can someone provide them to avoid deletion of the offending material? I do not doubt its veracity, but the article still needs to conform to WP policy. Ashmoo ( talk) 10:52, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
