MCKENNA'S GOLD
This Movie names Mckenna's Gold and Mckenna is the name of Marshal. He shown up at the beginning of the movie with an old Indian man. The old Indian man was a leader of the tribe that knew where was the gold. The Marshal, Mckenna, he was not really believe in the supernatural story about gold that it's real. But anyway the old indian man tried to kill him in the desert but the man was good. He shot back the old indian man instead. He didn't want the old man die though. The old man told him about the gold and the map and then passed away.
This is Mckenna, he didn't believe about gold and seem like he was the one in the movie that was not greedy, anyway after he saw the map he thrown away the map into the fire. In the movie his character was the one who had a good memory so he could remember everything in the Map.
His name is Colorado, he is the most greediest guy in the movie. He killed
Inga Bergmann's father.
This is her.
This is the place that they went to and there was actually gold there. But Colorado was too greedy. He didn't want to share the gold with anybody else so he killed everybody he joined the adventure with him. But he couldn't kill Mackenna and Inga.
A whole movie was only flighting, people running around, some people came to join expected to get the share of the gold. But finally there were only 3 people left, Mackenna, Colorado and Inga.
The one who got the gold was actually Mackenna because he didn't know that he rode the horse that Sergeant, the leader of Solider, took on the back of the horse.
The situation was wuite busy at the end because one group of Indian came with horses then gone so white people had to hide. The rock were destroyed everybody tried to escape from the place. At the end Colorado sperated with Mackenna and the gold was on the back of the horse he rode and he didn't know that.
I like this movie and I think this movie's kind of telling the viewer that don't be too greedy because everybody wanted to have all their own gold and finally they died because they killed each other.
The one who didn't believe that the gold was existed and he got everything. ^__^
Time in the movie was the time of white people and Indian people live. Indian people knew the Language? I'm not sure if the movie try to make it to be easy as everybody speak English or not.
And Indian people could even be friends with white people? they were not slaves of white people. But they do really believe in the supernatural things. Actually it's just like Asian people now. Like my mum , she still believe in the supernatural things and she does believe. She even goes to the temples every weekend or anytime that she is free.
However I do enjoy the movie and this movie should have a new nickname as "The Greedy story" ^___^!

Great - The Greedy Story! Ya get an A for that!
Greed motivated a lot of the Western expansion and the colonization of the New World by the Europeans.
The early Spanish conquistadores found lots of gold in South and Central America. The Indians in the North didn't seem to be so rich and with such a civilized empire when the white men came.
White men stole the land from the Indians. This is a historical fact. Most of the time it was pure greed that motivated this stealing.
Everyone in this movie is greedy except McKenna. See, not all white guys are bad :-).
My brother probably knows some stories about hidden gold in the southwest. It has been a long time since I have thought about it. I remember the story about the Lost Dutchman Mine in the Superstitious Mountains outside Phoenix, Arizona. There is supposed to be a whole lot of gold in a mine the whereabouts lost.
I also remember a story a friend of mine's grandfather told about coming back home and getting lost in the mountains near where my brother and I grew up. Seems there was a storm so this grandfather took refuge (hid from the storm) in a small cave he found. Inside the cave was a skeleton with a beautiful Spanish saddle. This saddle had silver all over it with engraved Spanish writing.
The grandfather made it home and then went back several times looking for the cave with the silver saddle. Never did find it again and he would occasionally go looking for it over a twenty year period.
Lots of stories like the above exist in the old West. In southern New Mexico, legend has it that a whole wagon train disappeared into the desert and it was loaded with gold and silver to pay the military during the Civil War. People figured the Indians got them or the desert swallowed them up. It is fun to dream about the old west and its treasures. Some of these legends are probably based on reality as there are lots of places in the western US that are difficult to get to or impossible to explore without a lot of help.
Good review and good comments. The Greedy Movie. Don't be greedy and you will be rewarded, maybe!
