John Wayne: Playboy Interview


John uses strong,intense,straight to the point language through out the interview. In the beginning he was talking about the ridiculous prices to see a movie. I can say I agree with him about this. The average family can not afford to go out as a family to see a movie because of such high prices. He goes on and talks about how perverted films are. This is true, in just about every film there is a multitude of sex and violence being portrayed. I do not agree with John when he states he do not feel wrong about taking the Indians land, he suggests it was done for a matter of survival. This was a harsh/inconsiderate statement. It sounds as if he held some sort of prejudice against Native Americans. It seems as if he thought very poorly of them as race. He also made a statement about we (whites) can't be blamed for what was done to the Indians, that's true but he didn't have to speak on it as if he didn't care or as if it never happened. He stated he didn't know why we owe them anything, to me we (whites) owe them because everything they owned was stolen from them, and not one time did Americans apologize to these individuals. I really wasn't to fond of his statements about Indians or Blacks. In my opinion he heavyly insulted both races.
This interview went in depth regarding John and his personal life, which was intriguing. After reading the interview I see/know John character a little better. I feel like he plays the role as (john Wayne) so well because in real life (from the interview) he seem to be just like his character, rough , tough, insulting, straight to the point about any and everything.
