David F Despite the revisionist energies of this Western, and its foregrounding of an apparently well-researched indigenous culture, the story and characters just weren't that captivating. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Movie have draw - see man tortured. Blobbo see at show then forget. (Now, want forget again.) Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member The late Richard Harris stars in a movie we've all become familiar with  A more civilized being is captured by local natives and then treated like less than a man  The tribes here consist of the Sioux Indians in 1825 with John Morgan being the last hunter in their territory after everyone else is taken out  He also befriends a fellow prisoner named Batise, they both make an exchange to help one another escape  It isn't until later they start to understand Morgan's just a man and begins to assimilate into their culture  Not only that but he falls in love with a female member of the tribe, a matriarchy of sorts Morgan is determined to be a chief which of course leads to a very infamous ritual scene where he must scar his body as well as be accustomed to the pain for the rite of passage  Morgan also wants little to do with his British aristocratic ways after learning so much with the indigenous peoples even facing a warring tribe shifts his views entirely if these people are to to continue  Again this film is along the lines of ‘Dances with Wolves', ‘Last Samurai', and ‘Pocahontas' but it keeps the viewer engaged with its richness in cinematography, the action scenes, and the powerhouse performance of Harris a different kind of Western without the usual gunfights, bar scenes, or cookie cutter bad guys you're used to seeing plus there's good looking at the human condition as well as going on a spiritual journey of your own the viewer definitely grows to like this tribe as much as Morgan because they just want to be understood and show they have a place to belong among other men a movie that's now 50 years old yet is carried tremendously by the late actor Harris next to the Sioux Indians whom are painted as respectfully as can be Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Perfect for a rainy Sunday afternoon. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member good bio pic of sorts Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review s r An English lord who comes to the Wild West for sport is abducted and humbled. Only when he proves his worth does he earn his "freedom". The sun sacrifice was the most interesting aspect. But this is presented in a realistic way without subtitles. It is a little harsh, but still interesting. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
