Movie Reviews of Chato's Land
Movie Review: Indian has moral superiority over the white man
Summary: 5 Stars
Chato's Land
Right from the very first shot you know something special is about to happen. At the same time, it's pretty well clear how the story is going pan out. The interest lies in seeing precisely how the posse will disintegrate. No spoiler here. It's a study in characters. The mind of Chato, the half-breed Apache, is inscrutable and impenetrable, although, at the same time, his motivation is crystal clear. The white men all have their own personal agendas. Only Ezra knows his own mind and has the independence to stand firm. He doesn't join the gang. Some of them go along just to be neighborly. Even the three repulsive brothers are shown a little sympathy: it's possible to see that filth has a reason for being the way it is. Jack Parlance has an unusual role. A veteran of the Civil War, he retains traces of the character of an upright Southern soldier and a gentleman, but has seen too much and is mentally defeated. He still sees himself as heading a troop of cavalry, and dreams he's still riding out to get "that b@#$%, Grant". Although he's blue-eyed, with Slavic features, Bronson is perfect as the half-breed. The outcome is satisfying, but grim. Some decide they've had enough when it's too late. Those who are more or less innocent fall the way of the rest, through lack of backbone. Well-acted, well-shot, well-written: a good movie with a moral applicable to both past and present. Those who know their own country will win.
