Geronimo: An American Legend | 1993 | PG-13 | - 0.6.1
Wes Studi stars as the quintessential hero in this western with a Native American viewpoint.
SEX/NUDITY 0 - None.
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - Approximately eight battles between soldiers and Native Americans are depicted, and each scene is rather lengthy with a great deal of head-whacking, falling down dead and shooting; yet these scenes are relatively bloodless. A Native American is shot and his bloody shoulder is shown as he lies dead; a stagecoach is shown containing three bloody-faced corpses; a few people are seen with bloody chests from gunshot wounds; and a village of dead people with bloody scalps.
LANGUAGE 1 - About four mild profanities.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Betrayal, war, the military life, Native American traditions.
MESSAGE - Sometimes you must fight for what is yours; whites wrongfully deprived Native Americans of their land.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
