Ford is the name of an American director who directs "Wagonmaster" among many other films. Typically in his films, one or more fundamental, well-defined and homogeneous groups are juxtaposed against a makeshift group with opposite characteristics of occurring by chance, heterogeneous and incongruous but function sitting astride a gap to be overcome. Examples of his characters include an alcoholic doctor and a good-hearted whore. Ford uses predominantly a large form but also creates masterpieces in "The Long Voyage Home" with the small form where sounds of airplanes signify attack.
