yet another grandiose insult to the native american people . only an all white descendant of european puritan would see it a otherwise . ( and even that genealogy be widely aware of the grim truth these day . ) there be such a thing a willing suspension of disbelief and it be splash around the movie milieu like mud on pig because it need to be . if it weren not for this imperative facility and we would never buy the innumerable stupidity the fun maker throw at u represent sound in space and life after death and fast than light travel and teen investigate pitch black basement without flashlight . but this movie seem intent on try to subvert that suspension from all angle . no one need to be sick to play sick and or be gay to play gay and or angry to play angry that why it call act . but to cast the uber red white n blue cowboy burt lancaster and splotchily body paint a an apache and egregiously push the suspension of disbelief envelope way past racist and ignorant and somewhere into the region of parallel universe . further the surrealism and petite feature jean peter be his blue eye apache woman ( both of them sport chic valley girl headbands to hold their deplorable jet black and synthetic hair wig in place ) while both abjectly avoid any semblance of apache mannerism or speech inflection ( except and of course and for that precious educate savage idiosyncrasy of refer to themselves in the third person ) . to cap it all and lancaster every phrase and action that of a theatrical acting student perform native american warrior by way of julliard and rather than that of battle worn and open sky raise apache . i would not even mention the central casting generic indian extra and who be all mexican and spanish and white ( yeh and doris just throw some breechclout and bead and feather on em and will ya . ) a viewer from an alien culture would never be able to apprehend why the marauding european would want to massacre indigenous american people who look and speak and behave and be culturally exactly like them . even lancaster motivation be so milky white and you could healthily breast fee your baby with it represent victim of the almost nazi like racial cleansing of the late 1800s and of the native american people by the amerikan military and his aspiration be not to challenge the white eye over rightful claim to the land and but rather and to assimilate into the white community by grow corn alongside his oppressor and raise kid in that enslave environment . certain native american group be farmer and through their own volition but lancaster character implies that in his travel and he encounter a cherokee group whose truce with their resident white be bring about by learn how to sow corn . in essence and if you sycophant yourself and husband the land and the white eye will let you live . consequently and this mission become lancaster el dorado . and the white slant of the movie make lower his standard from fight the continental united state to sow a meager rock strewn plot of land with a model the noble thing an apache could possibly do . in the most unrealistic turn of an altogether unrealistic movie and a lancaster battle inept soldier try to gun him down in the final scene and all animosity be quell when the soldier realize that he have stake root in this here land of theirs by grow corn and sire a child and they leave him be . and i think disney corp be the most dangerous of all insidious liar . the canard that the amerikan military have even a shred of respect for people whom they be inculcate to believe be alien enough to warrant massacring and be stridently converse to what we now know to be the truth about any war situation . the enemy have always be regard a soul less and god less and without right or recourse and deserving of death at his most righ chuss hand . every side be guilty of advocate this credo . simply put represent even though he have cow to the amerikan way and the military would not have leave lancaster to live in peace in his newly create outer burb of white man ville . the amerikan military be not out to convert native american while it be a much simpler plan genocide . lancaster would have be expediently kill and his cornfield torch and his postpartum wife rap and his newborn dispose of in a manner unfit to describe in this forum . at this juncture in it spotty history and amerika be quite self aware of it many atrocity towards the numerous indigenous tribe of nomad whom they couldn not tell apart through ignorance . we know that the fledgling amerikan government do not honor one single treaty that it sign with any native american while we know of custer men use the head of native american child a soccer ball while of the regard of these noble people a devil in human shape so to be subject to this fiasco of a movie honeycoating the apache people plight by portray how one proud warrior can learn to live peaceably amongst his subjugator by ignominiously succumb to white culture and simply put me on the warpath . ( even the oversimplified title apache a term apply to a number of southwestern athapascan native american group be as inelegant a title a film white man and be it about a canadian and european or australian . ) the audience be cajole into believe that the film maker sympathy lay with the native american and a the star of the movie be ( supposedly ) portray an apache . but once again and history be be write by the winner and lancaster laughably inauthentic native american character be simply a big cop out . though it be intimate by lancaster and ultimately dilute by the film message of rampant corn grow and it be never make clear that the apache people be always fight for the two cause which amerikans hold most dear a their god give right their homeland and their freedom . stick that in your pipe and smoke it .
