HARDCORE is THE SEARCHERS…
So I just finished reading THE CRAFT OF THE SCREENWRITER by John Brady. I got it off eBay for like less than a buck…
Anyway, great little book with interviews from the following legends of screenwriting…
Paddy Chayefsky…
William Goldman…
Paul Schrader…
Neil Simon…
Robert Towne…
While all the interviews were outstanding and I literally read the entire book in one evening, what really hit me was Paul Schrader’s opinion that THE SEARCHERS and VERTIGO are (were?) the two best films ever made in America.
He goes on to say that HARDCORE (one of my favorite films) was actually THE SEARCHERS in the world of porn.
Kinda makes you think, eh?

I got it off ebay for a buck too… great way to catch up cheap
I have this book too. You don’t hear that much about it but it’s real good, very in depth. Recommend it.

The Searchers is an incredible film. Probably one of the first ‘modern’ films where the protagonist wasn’t such a great guy. But you still root for him…
