Sometimes the truth is lost in battle! From Ralph Nelson, the acclaimed director of Soldier in the Rain, Father Goose, Duel at Diablo, Charly and The Wilby Conspiracy, comes this graphic and uncompromising anti-racist western starring Candice Bergen (The Hunting Party), Peter Strauss (The Jericho Mile) and Donald Pleasence (The Flesh and the Fiends). After a cavalry patrol is ambushed by the Cheyenne, the two survivors, Honus Gent (Strauss), a soldier highly devoted to his duty, and Cresta (Bergen), a white woman who had lived with Native Americans for two years, must reach the safety of the nearest fort. As they travel, Honus feels a growing affection for Cresta, but he is disgusted that her sympathies lie more with the Cheyenne than the U.S. government. As they arrive at the cavalry outpost on the eve of a planned attack on a Cheyenne village, Honus will finally learn who’s been telling him the truth. Written by John Gay (Run Silent, Run Deep) from a novel by Theodore V. Olsen (The Stalking Moon), Soldier Blue features a rousing score by the great Roy Budd (Get Carter, The Black Windmill) and a strong supporting cast that includes John Anderson (Cotton Comes to Harlem), Jorge Rivero (Rio Lobo), Dana Elcar (The Nude Bomb) and director Nelson under the pseudonym Alf Elson.

Sensationslüstern

Written on 25. April 2015 by Vera.
This customer review refers to a alternative version.

Dieser Film beutet sensationslüstern Gewalt- und Sexszenen aus, ohne dass dies für die Handlung nötig wäre. Die Realität war oft traurig genug, ohne dass man daraus eine makabre Schau machen müsste. Hintergründig geht es dem Film um die Botschaften der 68er-Bewegung, was immer wieder durchscheint. Für eine seriöse historische Aufarbeitung des Massakers von Sand Creek taugt er nicht wirklich etwas.

Dieser Top Western ist ein muss für Western und Indianer-Fans,doch leider liegt hier nur die FSK 16er Fassung vor.
Die FSK 18er Fassung ist um 1 Minute länger ist aber zur Zeit nur noch auf Märkten erhältlich.

einer der aufrichtigsten western, die ich je gesehen habe. Dazu objektiv in der schilderung der differenzen zwischen weissen und indianern und zudem unheimlich spannend.
