 | | Like the original Dawn of the Dead, I’m sure that this viewing of Soldier Blue was just another case of, I have seen it, but in a heavily cut version, plus perhaps I’ve changed a lot in myself as far as my reaction to the film is concerned. |
 | | It has great music, incredible performances: it was released in the same year as one of my all-time favourites The Strawberry Statement and I found it to be very similar in tone, not to mention that they both feature songs by Buffy Sainte-Marie, whose work I should really seek out more of. |
 | | It begins with violence, then settles into a kind of cross-country jaunt, with the main character Honus (“Soldier Blue”) resisting the horny charms of Cresta, a relationship that reminded me a lot of the main relationship in Cabaret, Honus acting almost like he’s gay or something when Cresta so much as touches him. |
