4 out of 5 stars Forsaking Revenge   October 2, 2008
This is an excellent western and a marvelous expose of the bigotry of an era when many regarded Indians with the same contempt that unborn babies are seen today. To kill one, even as brutally and violently as Max Sand/Steve McQueen's mother's dies, is to do nothing wrong. As the son of an Indian mother and a white father, McQueen bridges the gap between the less-than-human Indian and the fully human white, when he seeks revenge for his mother and father's slaying.

Because Max has been reared in the wilderness, at the beginning of this film he's a blank slate, understanding nothing about either violence or the evil that violence can do to a man's soul, even when undertaken to revenge a wrong. Through most of the film, he uses and discards good people in the pursuit of his revenge. Only with a Cajun woman, who dies because of him, does he begin to change and become the man he is in the climatic last scene.

Well worth watching, particularly while asking the question, "What would I have done if I'd been in his shoes?"

--Michael W. Perry, Across Asia on a Bicycle: The Journey of Two American Students from Constantinople to Peking
