The Return of A Man Called Horse (1976)
I’ll admit it: I only watched the sequel of A Man Called Horse to catch another glimpse of Richard Harris’s fantastic body. Since he took his shirt off in the ’70s as often as Kirk Douglas did in the ’50s, it was a safe bet that I’d be a happy audience member. Sure enough, within ten minutes, Richard decided he didn’t want to stay fully clothed in England any longer, and he returned to the American west to find more Sioux Indians. Once found, he gives tons of presents to the tribe, strips down, and does the same sacrificial induction ceremony he did in the first movie: hanging from a rope while animal talons pierce through his pectorals. If you’re wondering why he didn’t just show the Sioux his scars from the previous piercings (or why his chest is unblemished and gorgeous), just be quiet and appreciate his smooth chest before he mutilates it again.
In the plotline of this story, you’ll see Richard trying to save the Sioux nation from extinction. He teaches them how to fight with guns and how to combat the different tactics white men will use in combat. You’ll also see all the ways of life of the Native Americans, and it’s not always pretty. What starts as a beautiful cinematography shot of the men riding wild horses among the buffalo ends with several buffalo dead and being skinned and carved up. You’ll see scalpings and ceremonious violence, because, after all, this is a man’s movie. Ladies, just pay attention to the eye candy and let your fellow enjoy the testosterone.
In case you’re not in it for the testosterone or the eye candy, you’ll really appreciate the music. After you finish the trilogy and hear the lousy music from the third movie, you’ll appreciate it even more. Laurence Rosenthal’s lovely themes truly transport you to a simpler time when the greatest beauty was in nature. It’s easy to get swept away by this story from the first few scenes as the music swells and carries you off to the west. Dances with Wolves may have swept up a bunch of Academy Awards, but Richard Harris found his home among the Indians first. He also survived a bear mauling first, even though someone else won an Oscar for the remake. Interested? Check him out in Man in the Wilderness, the original of The Revenant.
Kiddy Warning: Obviously, you have control over your own children. However, due to violence, I wouldn't let my kids watch it.
