Movie Reviews of A Man Called Horse
Movie Review: a man called horse revisited...
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed it when I had seen it for the first time years ago and seeing it again was just as good. Quality films only get better over time and one comes to truly appreciate them especially in these times of less than quality movie making. Richard Harrison did a wonderful job and I feel that the content was excellent as well. I should also remind the reader that I am not a movie critic hence please take what I write with a grain of salt.
Summary of A Man Called Horse
A carefully documented epic that attempted to realistically portray the life of american sioux in the early 19th century. When an english lord is captured by a sioux indian tribe he is given to the chiefs aging mother as a servant. Gradually he embraces the tribes way of life. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 01/27/2004 Starring: Richard Harris Manu Tupou Run time: 114 minutes Rating: RAmerican Indians were a "cool" factor in 1970 cinema, the year A Man Called Horse made its vigorous, feverishly real, and occasionally shocking debut alongside Little Big Man and Soldier Blue. Unlike the latter two films, however, Horse is less an allegory for Vietnam-era America and more of a vision quest for historical identity. In one of his defining roles, Richard Harris plays an English aristocrat captured by Dakota Sioux in 1825. Over time, he adopts their way of life and eventually becomes tribal leader--but not before undergoing savage initiation rituals, the most famous of which involves being suspended by blades inserted beneath Harris's pectoral muscles. Horse looks clunky, quaint, and inadvertently demeaning in some respects today, but the film's Native American milieu is at least defined on its own terms, i.e., whole cloth and apart from familiar Western conventions. The real draw is Harris, whose performance has a soulful integrity. --Tom Keogh
