This was exactly as I remembered it years ago when I saw it the first time. Enjoyed it just as much.Movie Review: A MAN CALLED BLOAT
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a silly tale to come out of the so called 'enlightened 70's' when the white man was viewed with evil suspicion. It deals with a man from England who goes on to become a savior to a band of poor and starving Sioux Indians in the 1840's when they accept him as part of the tribe. Poignantly sadistic and offensive to the actual Sioux ritual of the Sun dance, it merely accommodates the new role of Harris as a Christ-like benefactor while objectifying the Indians as a tribe of incoherent savages. Once again, the view point is told by an outsider who functions solely to play the role of 'savior'. One scene is especially tedious and tritely when a tribe of Shawnee attack the Sioux encampment and Harris gathers all the Sioux and leads them like an 1800's era gun ensemble to fight off the attacking horsemen! "First row fire, second row hold!"... It's no wonder why white people never fully understood Native American culture.
Movie Review: If you're into factual Indian Culture, stay away.
Summary: 2 Stars
This is another wreck of Indian ways and culture told by Hollywood story tellers, who had no idea what an Indian really was. If you look at the fact that Sioux Indians were in the North West, then why did his companion, who spoke French, was the way of Indians in the lower East of America.
Besides that, why did Harris's character, who after living with the Indians for so long, never bothered to even learn their language. At one point, he is teaching his new wife english...how sad. But, that's Hollywood, and this is an exploitation Hollywood-style, of the true and authentic Indian Cultures.
Terrible acting, sound and editing, stay away from this one. You'll be glad you did.
