It would fair to say that John Wayne was a man of his times with all the virtues and faults that were common then. He did love his country and he was an outstanding entertainer.
This program was good for the first 11 minutes and then went bad when it got off topic and started bashing the Duke by telling half truths without all the facts. It makes me sad to see how ignorant so many Americans are nowadays. God Bless America and God bless John Wayne!
There's a short documentary that was attached to the VHS release (editors cut) of John Wayne's The Alamo, showing a lot of the incidents behind the scenes, but it also includes a short blurb by Mike Wayne, John Wayne's eldest son who as producer saved Duke's production company from bankruptcy. Mike said, 'My dad was never a lawman, or a cowboy, never landed on the beaches of Iwo Jima. What he was, though, was a great actor, and his critics just can't handle that."
Those criticizing him aren’t perfect either. . .usually the criticisms are because of his political views not because of any misdeeds he may be guilty of.
Bob Hope was asked how he got so old and his answer was because he didn't want people saying bad things about him and he wouldn't be around to defend himself.

John Wayne was from a different era. A time when Hollywood actors would rush to serve their country if needed. Many did enter the service during world war II and those who for whatever reason couldn't, did their part here at home. IMO our nation will be hard pressed to find any of the Hollywood group nowadays who would do the same. In fact, I'd go so far as to say many of them would be making propaganda films for the enemy.
@@John-lv1zq well it appears from this he wasn't, and would have been in the OSS, if not for a woman. Wonder what he would have ended up doing if he didn't lose his scholarship.
We, as Americans, always want to put our heroes, on a pedestal. Then, we want to turn on them, when we realize, they are flawed human beings, just like everyone else. John Wayne, was not perfect, and had what many of us had. Prejudices we developed out ignorance and misunderstanding. Had JW had lived longer, maybe he could obtained better perspective, and understanding. However through the movie lens, we saw a tall, brave American hero, who loved America. I think JW loved America. He just did not always have a grasp of the sensibilities of America. He still embodies America's strength and greatness. He was awarded the highest civilian medal, his country could bestow, the Medal of Freedom, posthumously in 1977. Heck, you can't think of Freedom, without thinking of John Wayne.
yeah the freedom to bitch and gripe about other's opinions and views , the freedom to duck and dodge the wearing of the uniform and swearing an outh the freedom to mary subveriant non american do as your told central american women and the freedom of speaking his limited amerikkkan racist views and the only time he got an oscar was when he broke character and played an cantankerous nasty drunk who could kill better than he could walk yes i guess he embodied some form of patriotic freedom , not my kind of freedom i stupidly quit college raised my hand swore an outh and enlisted in the us marine corps and i foolishly believe that real americans have the right to feel and think that america is a land of thoughts and many different views and opinions but with duke wayne it was only 1' view and that was his view
Except I don't think he would have changed his views on the statement made in that interview because they were accurate statements based on his beliefs and principles, that is what is missing with a lot of the ppl today is to think that truth changes because there are people who disagree with it
John Wayne set a standard and vision for young men to aspire. To stand your ground, defend those who could not defend themselves and to prevent evil doers from harming America and its people. Who stands for that now?
@@robiandolo Actually should also enquire why John Wayne never served in the military when people like Clark Gable who was six years older than him did
This video suggests that John Wayne was a racist. This is just patently not true. John Wayne was married three times. All of his wives were Hispanic. Their names were: married first to Josephine Alicia Saenz, then to Esperanza Baur, and lastly to Pilar Pallete. I dare anyone to fact check this.
The "old education system" put men on the moon. The modern one produced people who need crying rooms and safe places, and can't figure out s3x they are.
John Wayne wasn’t a supremacist if you do your research he made an album called the hyphenated American if you can find it I suggest you give it a listen
You know, you can say whatever you want about America because it's strong and can take it, but nobody and I mean Nobody can say anything bad about John Wayne. He was the greatest all the way American hero Hollywood ever produced, hands down!
One of America's legends. The Duke, icon of the film industry, the King, the icon of the music industry. There are others, but these two are the epitome in my opinion.
What John Wayne said was you couldn't put black people into positions of power and authority until they've been trained up to it it's hardly racist as much common sense
@@stephensuddick1896 let's take for example the military you don't step out of a military academy and they put you in charge of a ship or an army you get a squad and then you have to learn the basics all the way up to where you can become the captain of the ship or the general in the army you have to be trained up same thing with a lot of other job
@@JoeLClare He didn't provide any specifics. He just made a generality. Hence, racist. I'm not putting him down. I'm just recognizing reality. My Grandpa was terribly racist. I still love him.
Goodday to all the Duke had grown up in a time that this was mostly normal .You can not change the past .The history of the U.S.A is just that .We in Australia have the same problem with groups trying to change history stand farst
He is now and will always be a true American hero. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and he certainly had many. Right or wrong, John Wayne's legendary man's man status remains quite solid and unmoveable.
Okay, so the Duke wasn't perfect, who is? We all have our dark side. The trouble is these days if your opinion is different to someone else's your cancelled, John Wayne spoke his mind weather his views were right or wrong and for that I respect him. With the way the world is today, like so many who have passed he must be rolling in his grave.
We have many John Wayne's today.... they go to work everyday and are dads to their children and husbands to their wives...... we have a few loud obnoxious folks that don't know wether they are boys or girls..... we have a few folks that feel sorry for them....
Early in his career he became friends with the legend of the OK Corral Wyatt Earp who was still alive and hanging around Hollywood. Earp taught the Duke what the Old West was like. He taught him how people talked, walked, fought, and anything else he could about that long-lost world.
I don't condone slavery either & it is a fact of life. I've the documents that show my family being enlaved by Africans, yet I don't say they owe me money like some African-Americans do. Being part African, my family enslaved other family members. Slavery is still legal despite popular opinions. The remaining types are taxes, marriage & debt. John Wayne had also clearly stated the the African-Americans who want to be in positions of power need to be properly educated. That is true no matter what ethnicity a person is. Unless knowing what you're doing in such positions, you will only make things worse
*The unconfirmed stories gets even more interesting; Mao Zedong placed a bounty on John Wayne's head once which a Vietnamese sniper tried to collect but failed*
What part of the account in the video makes this chronologically impossible? There was no date mentioned for the kill order or the US attempt, and Wayne was certainly an anticommunist public figure in 1950. The Vietnam attempt is connected with China, not the USSR.
USMMA 82. John Wayne didn't fail to enlist during World War II because of his being 34. He used the football injury to get out. Said his movies were better for the war effort. Clark Gable was 41 years old and flew 5 combat missions for they grounded him. No, John Wayne, whom I admired, had a family and he wanted to make money. Jimmy Stewart was 34, had an Oscar under his belt, and went B-17s, B-24s so don't make me laugh. His Studio wanted him to do pilot training duty but he fought it to the nail and got to Europe where he basically aged overnight. Robert Montgomery (in a movie with John Wayne, "They Were.Expendable") was 37 at the time of Pearl Harbor, came out of lieutenant commander having done serious combat time. In the book: "Shooting Star," there's a scene depicted where Wayne met with Bob Montgomery and John Ford and cried because they were in uniform. Tyrone Power, a very successful star, kind of Hollywood royalty, was slightly younger but flew C-47's Over the Hump (India Burma). Get over yourself. Ted Williams was brought away from Major League Baseball, became a pilot. Went back for Korea. Actually took Marine Basic (or basic flight) with Tyrone Power. Stop selling history to the cheap seats.
It was going great until statements were made, with blatant bias taken from pundit commentary instead of using John Wayne's actual words in the context of conversations they were stated in.
Yes, I am all but certain that is a still from the utterly iconic High Noon. If it isn't the best Western, it is probably Cooper's best (though I probably haven't seen them all).
I've grown up watching John Wayne movies..Whenever a John Wayne movie was on my dad was watching it. I agree with everything the Duke stood for. He spoke the truth and many people can't handle or accept the truth. Instead of bashing the man they should honor him and to hell with the ignorant snowflake leftists that don't like it... I stand with the duke
I strongly disagree with the Duke's politics and some of his views. However, I dislike revisionist judgements being passed on people long dead. I see that this video left out that he married Hispanic women, spoke Spanish, and had mixed heritage children. But, I only care about his movies. After all, at the end of the day, he was only an actor. So that is how I will remember him. Not as a real person that cannot affect me, but as his characters that take me to some where other than where I am. Stagecoach, The Quiet Man, True Grit, and some others. But that is just my opinion. Anyway, here is the important part: Happy Holidays to all, and I hope all is safe and well. And to Ukraine: Your future will be Glorious. I am sorry for your suffering.
I call bullshit on him being too old at 34 to elist. Many ,many others elisted older than that at the time. He also said not being in the military was the best thing that happened to him. As he said he got all the good roles because of everyone else that had joined up.A fact that annoyed quite a few actors later on. Get your stories straight.

In the book: "Shooting Star," there's a scene depicted where Wayne met with Bob Montgomery and John Ford and cried because they were in uniform.
Tyrone Power, a very successful star, kind of Hollywood royalty, was slightly younger but flew C-47's Over the Hump (India Burma). Get over yourself. Ted Williams was brought away from Major League Baseball, became a pilot. Went back for Korea. Actually took Marine Basic (or basic flight) with Tyrone Power.
Stop selling history to the cheap seats.
Wayne had a minor part in The Cowboys, joining a black actor with the larger role. His name was?
The video went into loop, kept repeating itself after taught by stuntmen.
I'd like to see anyone else do better. God Bless John Wayne!
The judas trued to kill Wayne for years, He never liked the American Judas.
It was going great until statements were made, with blatant bias taken from pundit commentary instead of using John Wayne's actual words in the context of conversations they were stated in.
You really need to get your pic right. Cowboys did not ride motorcycles.
Guess you didn't watch Big Jake.
The day J.W. died is the day America lost it's balls !!!
That's very interesting! Stalin was part of Freemasonry and co was Wayne.
He avoided the draft.

This article is mostly nonsense. Including the picture of Gary Cooper in high noon juxtaposed with John Wayne.
john wayne did NOT leave much to be desired...anyone in any race, tribe, or cultural mix CAN BE as self-ish as any old fashioned sinner
🙏🙏🙏
👏🏻👍
I have hear his interviews.... and you are misquoting him....
6:19 is not JW. Looks like Gary Cooper.
Yes, I am all but certain that is a still from the utterly iconic High Noon. If it isn't the best Western, it is probably Cooper's best (though I probably haven't seen them all).
I've grown up watching John Wayne movies..Whenever a John Wayne movie was on my dad was watching it. I agree with everything the Duke stood for. He spoke the truth and many people can't handle or accept the truth. Instead of bashing the man they should honor him and to hell with the ignorant snowflake leftists that don't like it... I stand with the duke
He was an Actor. Don't care one way or the other. Some of his movies were good, some bad. That's more than I want say.
Seriously get a different narrator!
Big deal, Brezhnev tried to take me out. He didn't succeed.
The modern woke are too soft for the Duke….
Gave up with the narrator's voice. Jeez!
I strongly disagree with the Duke's politics and some of his views. However, I dislike revisionist judgements being passed on people long dead. I see that this video left out that he married Hispanic women, spoke Spanish, and had mixed heritage children. But, I only care about his movies. After all, at the end of the day, he was only an actor. So that is how I will remember him. Not as a real person that cannot affect me, but as his characters that take me to some where other than where I am. Stagecoach, The Quiet Man, True Grit, and some others. But that is just my opinion. Anyway, here is the important part: Happy Holidays to all, and I hope all is safe and well. And to Ukraine: Your future will be Glorious. I am sorry for your suffering.
I call bullshit on him being too old at 34 to elist. Many ,many others elisted older than that at the time. He also said not being in the military was the best thing that happened to him. As he said he got all the good roles because of everyone else that had joined up.A fact that annoyed quite a few actors later on. Get your stories straight.
lies at the end.
