(Soldier Blue) by Ralph Nelson - USA 1970 - Westerns - 114min.
To tell the shameful episode of the Sand Creek Massacre (November 29, 1864), made by the Blue Jackets headed by Colonel John Chivington against a tribe of Apaches and Arapaho, Nelson adopts the point of view of two characters fiction: a young soldier of noble values \u200b\u200bHonus Gent (Peter Strauss) and the attractive Kathy Lee (Candice Bergen), a woman who lived for a long period with Ceyenne.
Most of the film is about their adventures following an Indian attack at a caravan that leaves as the only two survivors. Their return home is long and fraught with danger, their characters seem irreconcilable and the company impossible. E 'tale of an adventurous journey with many aspects predictable but always enjoyable and stimulating, in the terrible massacre end all hope, all carefree eclipse in favor of horror that only human cruelty can generate.
still remarkable for the very strong emotional impact that captures the viewer, is a well made film that makes us think about the abominations that our species can get to make.
Attractions.
Rating: 3 / 5
