Cheyenne (Original title: Cheyenne Autumn ) is an American western directed by John Ford from 1964. The screenplay by James R. Webb is based on the novel by Mari Sandoz .
action
The already very meager food rations that the government is supplying the Indians of the Cheyenne tribe to their reservations will be discontinued. The Indians, led by their chiefs Dull Knife and Little Wolf, set out on a grueling 1500 mile hike from their reservations in Oklahoma to their ancestral hunting grounds in Montana . Captain Archer of the US Cavalry is supposed to stop them and bring them back to the reservation. The press, however, reports that the Cheyenne have left their reservation for fraudulent and malicious reasons. The US Secretary of the Interior Carl Schurz tries to prevent fighting between the army and the Indians. Meanwhile, Archer's respect for the noble people has grown, and he decides to help them.
background
The role of Interior Minister Carl Schurz was to play Spencer Tracy . But Tracy suffered a heart attack and had to be replaced by Edward G. Robinson .
Ford wanted to fill the chief roles with Richard Boone and Anthony Quinn , both of whom have Indian ancestors. Montalban and Roland, who got the roles, have Mexican ancestry rather than Indian.
The Cheyennes depicted in the film were played by members of the Navajo people . White viewers rarely noticed this difference, however the film became very popular in Navajo communities. That was because the Navajo actors were openly using crude and wild expressions that had nothing to do with the film. In his speech at the signing of the contract, the chief cracked jokes about the colonel's penis size. Scholars consider this to be an important moment in the evolution of Native American identity because they poked fun at Hollywood's (white majority) interpretation of history of the Wild West.
criticism
The Lexicon of International Films describes the film as a “John Ford Western characterized by the ethos of human respect and responsibility; masterly in the image design, remarkable above all for his epic qualities and the unusual narrative perspective from the point of view of the Indians ”. The evangelical film observer is ambivalent : “A project that is particularly noteworthy from a human point of view , the artistic execution of which does not always match the format of the original draft. Disturbing lengths and various wrong notes. "
