  • Robert Altmans Historielektion
    Robert Altmans historielektion Niels Jensen 260 R o b e rt Altmans film »Buffaio Bill and the Indians, or Sit- ting Bull’s History Lesson« har en scene, hvor Sitting Buli i Buffaio Bills cirkusarena konfronteres med sit publikum. Det er aften, arenaen er tom men tilskuerpladserne besatte. Så kommer den legendariske høvding ind på sin hest. En svag, lidt usikker hyssen begynder. Den tiltar i styrke og bruser snart ned mod den sfinksagtige indianer, der forblir ubevægelig på sin hest indtil mishaget dør hen og der bliver helt stille. Så rykker manden i tøjlerne, vender hesten og forsvinder bort fra areanen ud i mørket. Hvad skete egent­ lig? Var der tale om en betvingelse? Overrumpledes man af øjeblikkets intensitet, eller bør stilheden snarere fortolkes som publikums vildrede fordi der ingenting skete? Var man avet, grebet eller slet og ret ligeglad, apatisk? Heller ikke vi, den næste kreds af tilskuere til den begivenhedsløse tildra­ gelse, ved hvad der skete men sidder tilbage i biografen med et tomt lærred, der ikke giver men forventer svar. FORBEREDELSEN Robert Altman blev født i 1924 i Kansas City. Missourb Fa­ milien var af engelsk-germansk oprindelse. Robert gik uni­ versitetsvejen og tog noget i retning af en civilingeniørud­ dannelse og så kom krigen. Den tilbragte han i Stillehavs­ området, hvor han fløj 45 missioner over hollandsk Ostin­ dien i en B 24’er. Hjemsendt fik Robert arbejde ved et fore­ tagende - The Calvin Company - der fremstillede industri­ film, men det han drømte om var at blive forfatter. En udsta­ tionering i Californien inden afrejsen til Stillehavet havde givet ham lyst til at skrive for radio og film.
