Cowboys & indians

[cityontheup]

Just had a chat with my 10 year old grandson who had no idea who/ what cowboys and Indians were. You could put this down to a generational thing, not being taught US history and not watching old westerns on the telly. I just found it amazing he didn’t know, so being a film fan, here’s a question. What 5 films would you choose to teach him about cowboys & Indians?

 

[Barcon]

Start with Brokeback mountain and see if he's still interested after that.

Think I’ll be avoiding that one!

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Introduce him to Clint Eastwood film’s he’ll never stop watching them

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

It's 'injuns' not indians! Ask him about 'injuns'!

 

[Blue Mist]

There is only one film you should show him.....
Soldier Blue.

The way the indigenous people were treated by the settlers was absolutely disgraceful.

It depends what you want to 'teach' him about cowboys and indians

Little Big Man
A Man called Horse

Big of a steep learning curve for a 10 year old!
