Review of Soldier Blue (1970) by Trent R — 16 Sep 2010
Heavy-handed revisionist Western, with a lot of clumsy dialogue. Much of it in the character Bergen is given to play, carrying most of the emotional range none of the male cast display. Strauss wises up and starts to show depth, but not until the viewer has to also see a decapitated head comin' at ya, trampled tots, and rape.
Still, I'd rather see this again over Dances With Wolves, and an early score by Roy Budd only helps.
