RIVETING LOOK AT THE REALITY OF US HISTORYReview created: 04/05/08
by:
I LOVED HOW REALISTIC THE WHOLE THING WAS DONE, VERY TASTEFULLY DONE, AND MY ONLY PROBLEM WAS IN HOW THEY DIDNT SHOW HOW GERONIMO WAS DOWNTRODDEN INTO DESPAIR AND ALCOHOLISM FROM BEING ROBBED OF HIS DIGNITY. THERE WAS LITTLE MENTION OF HOW THE US GOVERNMENT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATHS OF SO MANY APACHE PEOPLE BECAUSE OF MOVING THEM AWAY FROM THEIR TRADITIONAL FOODS AND MEDICINES. IT IS A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE THAT NOTHING IN REPARATIONS HAS EVER BEEN DONE TO RESTORE THE DIGNITY OF APACHE OF ANY OTHER NATIVE PEOPLES. IN THE SPIRIT OF CRAZY HORSE, WESAINADV

I decided to buy this movie because my husband had been searching everywhere trying to find it. So I got on Ebay because I knew they would have to have one. He has watched it over and over again and really enjoys it.

After watching this movie 4 times I am still waffling over the review. Seldom do I find a movie I cannot give a review ~ even a bad review ~ on. In order to do justice to this one it would entail one that was so cumbersome that most would not read it. I will instead outline the characters, for they ARE the movie. Jason Patric - Lt. Gatewood, a soldier from the South'. Gatewood has a unique role in this drama. Coming from the defeated South, he feels few ties to the new' United States, but does have a sense of loyalty to the Army. He has also formed a bond with Geronimo, respecting him as a...

Cons:
The film's tone is overly P/C. Don't take it entirely at face value.

"Geronimo" claims to be 'based on a true story'. I suppose that's true in a general sense, but it's also current day Hollywood political correctness gone mad. The movie portrays Apaches as peaceful, honorable people who only want to be left alone. Once again, I suppose this is true in a general sense. But, what Apaches really wanted to be left alone to do was to prey on their neighbors, something they'd been excelling at for several centuries. The Spanish and later Mexican military was never able to deal effectively with them. One solution that was tried was paying bounties for Apache scalps..
