Geronimo

Geronimo

Geronimo is the movie about Western Expansion of the Native Indian tribe name “Apache” that they fight for right to live in their land and the famous Indian warrior .\
Only one Chircahua warrior and his band of renegades held out, Then even he sent word that he would give himself up in two month’s time. He was called Goyakla….. but years before , the Mexicans had give him another name: Geronimo.
The Apache doing fine farm core , Geronimo said he didn’t start the trouble . They was dislodged their land from white-eye. The army killed the dreamer , He was calling for taking up arms against the United States Army. Geronimo not understand why with all this land why is there no room for the Apache? ,why dose the white-eye want all the land?. The best way out for Apache is they have to live on reservation to keep peace.some of Apache trust Nantantan Lupan . Many of Geronimo want to surrender and he told Nantantan Lupan about his childhood , When he was young, the white-eye come and want the land of his people. When the solider burn down his village, they moved to the mountains. When they took their food ,when they kill our children we had more . We kill all white –eye that we could. But in their hearts we never surrendered.
Many years ago the white-eye kill Geronimo’s wife and his two little girl, he has no weapon and don’t want to fight but he doesn’t know what to do.That’s why he want to revenge them.
After arranging Geronimo’ final surrender, Lieutenant Gate wood was immediately transferred to a remote garrison in northern Wyoming. His continued presence would have been an embarrassing reminder that the United Army had failed to defeat a band of 35 Apache. Instead of being rewarded with a medal for his heroic efforts, Lt. Charles Gate wood was sentenced to obscurity. C.S Fly a photographer from tombstone had requested permission to accompany General Crook to Mexico and record the negotiations. Much to everyone’s surprise, Crook agreed. Even more surprising, Geronimo and the other Chiricahna also agreed. In some mysterious way, they seemed to understand these pictures would make them immortal. They remain the only known photographs ever taken of the American Indian as an enemy in the field.
Later that afternoon, Geronimo ,his band of renegades and all the Chiricahua that had served the army so faithfully were loaded into wagons and transported to the railhead at Holbrook . There they were to begin their journey to Florida and imprisonment.
Geronimo lived for another 22years as a prisoner of war. Despite its promise, the federal government never let him return home again.

In my opinion , from this movie It’s not fair for the Apache tribe (American Indian) they were took the land from them and they have to move out from their home to live in another place. This land is belong to them before the white –eye came here. I think they can live together in peace no need to fight each other for the land. The Apache they have to fight because they have no choice Actually they want to keep in peace. I this movie It’s show me about the style of Indian’s clothes and their culture such as The Indian dance for blessing to their god. I think it’s good movie to learn about the Indian’s culture.

from this movie you will see the Apache man have a long hair same as the women and use the many kind of weapon to fight such as gun, arrow, axe and they also have a skill of riding hourse.

American Outlaw

American outlaw

This movie is about the cowboy who fight for the right of themselves . When a Midwest town learns that a corrupt railroad baron has captured the deeds to their homesteads without their knowledge, a group of young ranchers join forces to take back what is rightfully theirs. In the course of their vendetta, they will become the object of the biggest manhunt in the history of the Old West and, as their fame grows, so will the legend of their leader, a young outlaw by the name of Jesse James (Colin Farrell). When Jesse and his brother (Franks James) first get back to Liberty after the war and talk to the doctor and he meet with Zerelda ‘zee’ the doctor’s daughter . They told the doctor about how his son died in the war and the doctor understand them. After that Jesse and his brother they go to their farm to see their mother. Their mother is really grade to see them that they still alive after the war and tell them to get inside the house to eat dinner. Jesse, his brother and his cousin(Cole Younger) talk about the future that they want to have the farm and live in here in peace but the something bad is happen because Thaddeus Rains, President Rock Northern Rail Road, Allan Pinkerton , those railroad men came to their place and offered to buy for two dollars an acre to built the rail road and told that they don’t have a choice because if anybody against them they will hang them at the center of the town to make villagers afraid to dead and sell the land to them.

When Cole knows that Jesse was arrest he and his friend including Jesses ’wife come to rescue him. Finally Jesse can run away and come back to his gang and to travel with his wife again.
In my opinion :I think this movie is represent about the cowboy life in the west. Have to take care farm and take care their cow. They was called outlaw because they have to do something to protect themselves. And the characters themselves were terrible. By the end of the film, we still knew nothing about any of them. I like to have at least some understanding of the characters in a film. Whether they're the good guys or the bad guys, at least give me something about them to understand, sympathize with, or relate to. Sure, Frank and Jessie wanted revenge for a personal tragedy, but the depiction of that tragedy is handled so lazily we often forget about it for the rest of the film. The other characters tagging along with the brothers do so to make a stand against the railroad tycoon (Harris Yulin), but again, we don't get anything from them personally to make us root for their success. Mostly in this movie it’s good for the entertain because there are a lot a action scene for you to see.

Tombstone

Tombstone

This movie is about the cowboy in the west

Tombstone is famous town that everybody came here with the hope to be rich so it became the boom town. In is the movie about the cowboy that they never respect the law. They think on one can catch them and they never afraid of anyone. There si no law ,the cow boy is the law. Tombstone's early years, the movie they described the cowboys as the first known members of organized crime, who were also known by the red sashes they wore!. When the cowboy not satisfy someone they will a gun to shoot them like they are not a human and they like to use a gun to solve the problem without considering about what’s right or wrong.
Wyatt Earp (Kurt Russell) along with his brothers(Doc Holliday, Virgil Earp ,Morgan Earp )and their wives move to Tombstone to start a new life putting his life as a lawman and gunslinger behind him. Wyatt Earp, who hangs up his marshal's badge and moves to Tombstone, the newest boom town. He and his two brothers and their wives invest in a gambling hall and aim to take part in the mining. But the Clanton gang spoils their plans, leading to the shoot-out at the O.K. Corral. Afterward, Earp takes revenge for the death of his brother. Also coming to Tombstone is Wyatt's good friend, Doc Holliday. However, it turns out that "The Cowboys" a group of men, among whose members include The Clantons, pretty much act as if they are above the law. Wyatt would be asked to be Marshall but rejects the offer but his brother, Virgil who can't stomach the violence around him accepts the job over Wyatt's objections. The movie covers the period just before and after the famous gunfight, and the activities of the three Earp brothers and their rivals, known as "The Cowboys", which included the Clantons and McLaurys, Johnny Ringo, and others.
In my opinion this movie is quite boring for me although there are an action in the scene of cowboy and the marshal but it’s not interesting as I hope it should be.

pocahontas part2

Pocahontas part2

This cartoon is the next period of Pocahontas name: Journey to the new land.
.
After John Smith came back from Virginia , the governor send the solider to kill him but he still alive. After that the governor go to tell the king that he was dead and he still believe that gold is exist in Virginia and told the king to set the army to make the war with the Indians for the gold. The King James1 believes him but he will wait until John Ralf come back John Ralf is the another survey man that the king send him to Virginia to negotiate about the colony. As you know this land is belonging to the Indians before the white man came here. The best way out is John Ralf have to take the leader of the tribe come to talk to the king so, Pocahontas decide to go with him to stop the war and to prove that her tribe is not the savage . When Pocahontas arrived to London, she very excited because every thing her see is totally different with her home . Then John Ralf come to have audience with the king and the queen and tell the king about Pocahontas that she is the princess of the tribe, the king told John Ralf to ask Pocahontas go to the ball in the palace to prove that she is not a savage and her tribe have a civilization and he will cancel the war. It’s hard for
John Ralf to train Pocahontas to learn about his culture in short time but Pocahontas can do it and in the night they go to the ball to respect the king ,the king is very satisfy. After that it’s dinner time Pocahontas sit the right of the king can watch the animal show but it’s very ruthless. She can’t take it ,she say the king is uncivilized because he cruelty the animal. The king is very angry and tell the solider to arrest her. John Ralf come back to the home to find the way to save her after that John Smith is appear himself and come to save Pocahontas with John Ralf in the jail. After they come out Pocahontas and John Ralf fall in love each other. She told John Ralf that she have to come back to tell the king that John Smith is still alive and the governor is lie to the king, although her return means dead. Next day Pocahontas go to palace to see the king and tell the truth with John Smith to prove that he is not dead and they come to stop the army that the governor set for the war. Finally the governor was arrested to the jail and the peace come back again .It’s show that she can do it to keep the peace.

In my opinion I prefer part1 more than part2 because there are more a lot of detail in the story .Although Pocahontas come to the new land but she still not forget her home land and try to save her tribe. In the first part Pocahontas she is fall in love with Captain John Smith but in part2 she became to fall in love with John Ralf that’s mean she is cheating on John Smith. It’s o.k. for her ,time change peoples change ,everyone can change. Although it’s not fair with John Smith but it’s good for Pocahontas because John Ralf is more taking care of her more than Captain Smith. Captain Smith, he is only concentrate with the journey so it is not the same anymore.
Some of the story in this cartoon is not true ,they just set it up because in the real story Pocahontas did not save Captain Smith (she was only 12 year’s old) John Smith he made up the story after 17 years. The main agriculture of the Native Indians is corn ,tobacco and Thank Giving custom that the white people copy from them. The Native Indians teach them to plant the corn and the trade is occur between them from now on

Sleepy hollow

Sleepy hollow

This movie is about the murder in sleepy hollow of headless horseman who kill the people in the village. Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp) is the famous detective he live in New York city. New York City detective, who feels that the judicial system is behind the times as far as imprisonment and torture are concerned. He argues that cases should be solved with fact and reason; cause and consequence. This doesn’t sit well with city officials, who send him to the town of Sleepy Hollow to solve the case of the three murders
When he come arrive there are 4 people were killed such as Peter Van Karage ,Dark Van Karage ,Jonathan Masbath and widow Winship . The point is everybody was cut their head and head was taken by headless horseman and he will take the head to the tree of the dead. Ichabod Crane is not believe about the ghost ,he think every thing can explain by scientist and operate the dead body until he see the headless horseman by himself so he start to find the cause of the murder. Then he knows that the headless horseman is not kill random but he choose the victim and he was controlled by someone. Next day he come to the forest and go to the tree of the dead that the grave of the headless horseman ,he dig it but the horseman’s skull has gone so, Ichabod thinks there must be someone stolen it.. Those dead people are related with the Van Tassel family because the Van Karage and the Van Tassel are cousin. Lady Van Tassel is the person who control the headless horseman to kill them because she want the heritage of Van Tassel family . Lady Van Tassel is the step mother of Katrina Van Tassel
(Christina Ricci)and she start from being a nurse to take care Katrina’s mother and then when Katrina’s mother died she become lady of the house. She comes from Archer family ,very poor and live in the land 1 acre but her family was dislodged by Van Tassel family and move to live in the forest so she want to take revenge. If everybody in the Van Karage and the Van Tassel died the heritage will belong to her. The last victim for her is Katrina Van Tassel(Ichabod’s lover) so, she command the headless horseman to kill her but Ichabod bring the headless horseman’s skull to exchange with Katrina’s head and the horse stop to kill and bring Lady Van Tassel come to the tree of the dead to go to the hell with him.

In my opinion this movie is made from the imagine, It’s hard to believe that we can use the magic in the real world because in the movie Lady Van Tassel can control the houseman by use an occultism because in the past they against the witch and if they know who can use the white or black magic will be punish or were kill. You can see from Katrina Van Tassel(Ichabod’s lover) she use white magic to protect him from the horseman but the Lady Van Tassel use the black magic to kill the people. The movie is very fun and can watch in every ages.

This movie is based on the legend of the sleepy hollow but it dose not involve with the headless horseman in New York. It’s just the set up story .In 1822 when California was governed from Mexico, and 1850, when it became part of the United States. In 1838, Domingo applied to General Mariano Vallejo, the military governor of the Northern California frontier, for permission to occupy land in Marin County. This was the land grant known as Canada de Herrera, which consisted of 6,659 acres covering what is now Sleepy Hollow, Fairfax and segments of San Anselmo. It was productive land, yielding both rich harvests of timber, which were shipped to San Francisco by schooner from Ross Landing near the present site of the College of Marin, and fine grass to feed Sais's large herds of cattle. Timber was difficult to steal, but cattle were not, which brings us to our tale.

1. Pocahontas part 1
   
   The cartoon Pocahontas is about the journey of the captain Smith to find the new land so, he and his crews float the ship to the Virginia, they believe that they will find a lot of gold in there. Captain John Smith go with the governor (greedy man) who believe that he will be rich in this trip from gold. Pocahontas is the princess of the Indian. She live the small village with her tribe in the forest. Pocahontas is a freedom woman .she like to travel around her village. After her father (king of tribe) came back from the battle , Pocahontas come to see her father and she surprises because her father told her that her father give her to Kocoum( the grate warrior in the tribe) to marry her. But Pocahontas doesn’t want to marry him because she want to be free in her life. When the ship of the captain John Smith arrive to the land, the governor is declare this land( the new colony) that they found is belong to the king James 1 or James town. Pocahontas and her tribe are very excite ,they never see the big ship before so, her father send the warrior to spy them.
   One day Pocahontas go to the forest and meet with captain Smith both of them are surprise they think both of them are stranger for each other and then they’re become friend and fall in love. The governor order the crews to cut the tree and dig the land to find the gold but the deeper they dig are still can not find gold so, it’s start to hopeless for them. Although there is no gold in here but the governor still lie them that the gold is exist and the Indian is keep secret about the gold( but the truth is there is no gold ) and he told the crews to prepare the weapon to fight with the Indians. The follower of Captain Smith kill Kocoum, Captain Smith told him to run away and he was arrest instead. The warrior take captain Smith to the tribe and judge him the he will be execute.

It’s time to say goodbye for Pocahontas because John Smith have to come back to his land (England). Captain Smith ask her to come with him so, she has to decide that she will live here or come with him. Her father respect her decision, finally she decide to live with her family say goodbye to Captain Smith although she love him so much.
   The different between the Indians and the white man is the clothes, culture ,food weapon actually they’re totally different such as the clothes the Indian’s clothes will made from the leather with the simple design and the culture they raise their hand not shake hands. About the food the Indians they main food is corn but the white man eat bread and the different of the weapon is the Indian’s weapon is the arrow and knife made from stone but the white man weapon is much more powerful because they have a gun, bomb, an artillery. The skin colors also different too, the red Indian’s skin is yellow but John Smith and his crews are white man. In my opinion this cartoon is good. It’s made based on true story of Pocahontas the detail is easy to understand but some of the story is not ture about the Pocahontas.
   
   The true story about Pocahontas is
   Matoaka Lady Rebecca Rolfe
   Pocahontas was an Powhatan Indian.

The first meeting of Pocahontas and John Smith is a legendary story, He was leading an expedition in December 1607 when he was taken captive by some Indians.According to Smith, he was first welcomed by the great chief and offered a feast. Then he was grabbed and forced to stretch out on two large, flat stones. Indians stood over him with clubs as though ready to beat him to death if ordered. Suddenly a little Indian girl rushed in and took Smith's "head in her arms and laid her owne upon his to save him from death.” The girl, Pocahontas, then pulled him to his feet.
