Film Liste Indianer Filme 80er-00er

In the early 17th century the first conquerors set out for America and there was a clash with the Indian culture. The clash of cultures is the theme, modern Indian films. On the one side there are mostly the natives close to nature, on the other side the materialistically and morally corrupted conquerors. Films like The new world by Terence Malick seem to confirm this prejudice through superficial ethno kitsch just as much as Kevin Costner's Dances with Wolves. In Michael Mann's The last of the Mohicans, the protagonists are scarred and drawn. Love stories are used by Malick and Mann to approach the foreign culture. While in Michael Mann's model, however, there are some gaps that are filled by platitudes, Malick idealizes them. Geronimo: According to the title, An American legend is a classic Indian and cavalry western. Walter Hill shows genocide not as war, but as mass murder. With great beauty and true intelligence, Hill has succeeded in making the best of all modern Indian films.
