VHS Movie Reviews of The Broken Chain [VHS]Movie Review: The Broken Chain Summary: 4 StarsThis ia great video that shows the Iroquois and how thier league fell apart during the American Revolution.
Movie Review: Broken Chain for your Eric Schewig collection is a must Summary: 4 StarsI am a huge fan of Eric Schweig so I may be a little partial to any of his flicks. I did buy this movie from e-bay for my ERIC collection, (13 flicks total) AAH!! It wasn't bad for a TV flick. What can you really show viewers in just a one or two hour movie? I think it showed how supporting the backstabbing British did the 6 nations in. Eric did a great job in his role and he's not too bad to look at either. LUV YA, ERIC! I think more flicks like this need to be made to show the truth in what the white man did to the Native population. From starving them, paying for indian scalps,shipping them to Florida ,to infecting them with smallpox on blankets. You can get farther in this world with peace and compassion than fear and ignorance. PEACE :)
Movie Review: David Summary: 3 StarsEvery group has its proverbial king David and Thayendenaga certainly lead a life that matches that of the Israilite king.
He was a modest man who did rise from common ranks to become a great leader. He did have his marital problems. He certainly shared the King's problems with his own offspring. Yet he managed to rise above these things to become a great leader of his people while at the same time made himself a civilized man.
Unfortunatly, this film fails to tell his story. Great costuming. Beutiful scenery and village settings. Authentic buildings. The plot was pathetic and often plodding in its work. Perhaps subject to political correctness's revisions, this film fails the man.
It failed to show he was a Christian. It failed to show he was compassionate and caring. It failed to show his activities as a Freemason. It failed to show in a place of great barbarity and depravity practiced on both sides, this man refused to be part of the evils of the times. Many colonials actually owe him their lives. This man was a gentleman but this film failed to show him despite his many actions.
Overall, good for visuallizing, a fair story but appears to have been partly done on the cheap.
Movie Review: The Broken Chain Summary: 5 Stars
The Broken Chain is a masterpiece!!!
It is the most brilliant movie I've seen
in my entire life.
It should be reissued in the near future!!!
I hope to buy extra copies for friends who
are interested in the Indian point of view.
Movie Review: A Grand Depiction of What Happens When You Are Helpful. Summary: 5 StarsThis piece is long overdue. Every western, period piece of the "frontiers" depicts the Native Americans as a threat, and a menace. This piece dispells this myth. The Iroquois were people just trying to hang on to what they had. Between the French, British, and Colonists, they were stripped of land no one owned, pushed around by the people they helped, and forced into situations that they were not equippted to handle. The Mohawk, Onodaga, Onieda, Cayuga, Seneca, and eventually the Tuscarora all wanted what was best for everyone. But due to poor advice, mostly from the British, they lost everything, including a government that was started long before the whites, and quite a bit of which was used to form the Declaration of Independance. Indians did not start out as threats and menaces, this movie shows why they were perceived that way. They only wanted what they believed was theirs. Wouldn't you do the same thing?
