Buck and The Preacher is an American film set in the West during the late 1870’s, following the conclusion of the Civil War. The story is about Buck, played by Sydney Poitier, who leads bands of freed slaves along a trail to homesteads in the West. While traveling west, the group of homesteaders is attacked by a gang of men on horseback. The bandits set wagons on fire and kill several men, women and children. Buck arrives in the middle of the attack but is somehow able to escape the gunfire. While fleeing the camp attack Buck finds a seemingly empty campsite, he is unaware that The Preacher, played by Harry Belafonte, is down by the river taking a bath. The Preacher steals Bucks horse and travels to the nearest town where he discovers the location of the homesteader camp site. At this time, The Preacher also learns that Buck is a wanted man to the tune of a $500 bounty. The Preacher finds his way to the campsite but Buck asks him to leave and offers a meal in exchange for his horse. The Preacher leaves but stalks Buck while he continues to assist the homesteaders. Throughout the movie, Buck shows great dedication to the homestead group and The Preacher in return gains an immense respect for Buck. The Preacher decides to join forces with Buck after a second attack on the homestead camp. Together they figure out a plan to ambush the attackers and get some additional funds for the homesteaders to have a better start in life. Buck and The Preacher is relevant to the American film industry in that it is one of the first American films that was directed by an African American (Sydney Poitier) and displays African Americans fighting against White people. The release of the movie was highly anticipated by all audiences. Buck and The Preacher was produced by Belafonte Enterprises. BUCK AND THE PREACHER. Buck and the Preacher is a 1972 American Western film directed by Columbia Pictures and starring Sidney Poitier. It was written by Ernest Kinoy and directed by Sidney Poitier. Poitier, Harry Belafonte, and Ruby Dee co-star in the film. ThisThis is Sidney Poitier’s first film as a director. Poitier “displayed a skill to make his most stately movies lack easy, unguaranteed, and wild-hearted humour,” according to Vincent Canby of the New York Times. This film defied Hollywood’s Western conventions by featuring black actors as the main characters and depicting both tension and solidarity among African Americans and Native Americans in the late 1800s. Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee, and Don Frank Brooks performed on the soundtrack composed by jazz legend Benny Carter. Following the American Civil War, many abolitionists fled to the West in search of free land and a better way of life. Buck, a former slave and Union Army sergeant, establishes himself as an independent waggon master in the west for freed slave waggons. Buck is well-versed in the area and charges reasonable fees to the waggon trains that hire him. He also has a working relationship with the local Indian tribes, which charge infringement fees to car trains that cross Indian territory. In exchange, the villagers are given the freedom to move freely across Indian territory and hunt for a few bushes to feed the villagers. However, not everyone in the area welcomes the black settlers to the west. Alarmed by the loss of previously free slave labour, Southern plantation owners hire a gang of white rogues and outlines to keep former black slaves from fleeing to the West. Hired rogue bands attack and destroy waggon trains to achieve this goal. Review This may be the first Western with two black leads, as the majority of white characters are relegated to supporting or stereotypically vile roles. The leaders were Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte, who temporarily replaced director Joseph Sergeant. Poitier plays Buck, a former cavalryman who now works as a waggon master transporting former slaves to a new life in the West. Before joining forces with him, Belafonte plays the preacher, a skilled con man who considers betraying Buck and accusing the evil neighbour Deshay (a squinting cigar chomping Cameron Mitchell). There isn’t much moral code in this film, which was made in the early 1970s. The good guys rob banks and steal from one another, and the explanation that the city dwellers who are worried about a posse ride to catch the duo is a mistake. The film appears to be a semi-comic action film, but it isn’t particularly funny, and the action scenes are few and far between. The film also lacks dialogue and is played in silence for long stretches of time. This was Poitier’s directorial debut, and it has a few glaring narrative gaps, as well as strange attention that somehow finds its way onto the screen, causing the film to rarely flow as it should. Although Belafonte is a brilliant and morally dubious preacher, Poitier as an actor never quite convinces. TRIVIA. The Civil War is over, and slaves have been legally released, according to the prologue to the opening credits. If the promise of land and liberty was not kept, many ex-slaves fled the country in search of new frontiers where they could be freed. TheyThey put their hopes in the hands of the few black waggon masters who knew their way around the west. Nightriders and junkies hired by unknown parties to find and return them to the fields faced not only a hostile wilderness, but also being pursued.

Before being branded “excommunicado” on the grounds of the New York Continental Hotel, John Wick travels through Manhattan for the illegal killing of Santino D’Antonio. As he passes through New York’s streets, he makes eye contact with a homeless man who murmurs at himself and acknowledges him. John has a marker medallion and a rosary in the New York Public Library. He has been wounded in a fight by Ernest, a hitman, and is looking for a doctor in the underworld, but his bounty of $14 million is in effect before the doctor finishes.

He’s soon followed by different groups of murderers, whom he kills on horseback in an antique shop, a stable, and chase. John meets the “Director” of the underground crime syndicate Ruska Roma. John offers the rosary for Casablanca and asks for the safe passage.

One of the High Table’s merely known representatives, Winston, the New York Continental’s manager and the Bowery King, a criminal underground, tell them they have seven days to give up. Winston to give John a 1-hour head start, and Bowery to give John weapons and ammunition because he wants to kill Santino D’Anne’s son; Zero, a self-employment Japanese murderer, was appointed by the judge and ordered to stab the Director as penance for defying the high table by both her hands. John meets Sofia in Casablanca, a longtime Moroccan friend and manager. John shows the marker he got after assisting her in safeguarding her daughter and calls for the “Elder” – the only one above the High Table. Sofia takes John with reluctance to her former boss, Berrada, who advises him to locate the Elder by walking in the wilderness until he can no longer walk.

    African-American and Romani Filmic Representation and the ‘Posts’ of Post-Civil Rights and Post-EU Expansion Sunnie Rucker-Chang [email protected] Assistant Professor of Slavic and East European Studies in the German Studies Department and Director of the European Studies Program University of Cincinnati, Ohio ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6728-9780 Sunnie Rucker-Chang is an Assistant Professor of Slavic and East European Studies in the German Studies Department and Director of the European Studies Program at the University of Cincinnati. Her primary interests lie in contemporary cultural movements and identity formation in Central and Southeast Europe. In her work, she examines how literary and filmic works contribute to cultural landscapes and offer insight into the formation of nations and nationalities, particularly as they relate to minority-majority relations and constructs of difference.

More specifically, I use the 1970s Blaxploitation movement • Race and subsequent shift of African-American representation into • Representation films reliant on a realist aesthetic to contextualize analysis of the shortcomings of the Civil Rights Movement to provide broad integration for African-Americans. Given other similarities between the racialized positionalities of African-Americans and Roma, I argue that Blaxploitation can illuminate trends in the cinematic depictions of CSEE Roma, since the Roma Rights movement has had to contend with similar shortcomings in achieving political, social, and economic inclusion.

  • CLS Movie List
    CLS Movie List # 1492 Revisited This documentary provides an alternative "indigenous" perspective on the quincentenary of Columbus's arrival. It features provocative artwork from the touring national exhibition Counter Colon-Ialismo as well as challenging commentary by artists and scholars. The film also raises important questions about the nature and construction of history. Paul Espinoza, 1992 Color: 28 min. A Adelante Mujeres (2 copies) This video spans over five centuries and focuses on the history of Mexican American women and Chicanas dating from the Spanish invasion to the present. Hundreds of previously unpublished photographs, art works, and contemporary footage pay tribute to the strength and resilience of women as the center of their families, activists in their communities, and contributors to American history. National Women's History Project, 1992 Color: 30 min. After the Earthquake Before the revolution and after the earthquake, a woman from Managua unexpectedly encounters her Nicaraguan fiancé in San Francisco. The film questions the pursuit of self-serving interests in the face of larger issues, in this case the Somoza regime, and integrates political concerns with a love story. National Women's History Project, 1992 Color: 30 min. Agitating for Change: The Alliance Schools Initiative Eight years ago, many schools in Texas, like this one, were plagued by gangs, truancy, and poor academic results. Teachers were ready to try something new. Enter Ernie Cortes—a community organizer who is also disturbed by seeing kids turned off at school. Cortes formed an Alliance Schools Initiative to shake up public schools in working-class districts. The Cortes strategy was to work with churches and community activists to break down old hierarchies, to excite and empower teachers, and to reconnect schools to their communities.

    This article first appeared in Vierundzwanzigfteljahrsfchrift der Internationalen Maultrommelvirtuofengenoffenschaft (VIM for short) in issue 6 and is published with the kind permission of Frederick Crane The Trump in the Movies up to 1997 by Frederick Crane If you're like me, there's a little sensor built into your nervous system that, whenever the slightest hint of that unique sound of a trump is detected, in a recording, on radio, on TV, in a movie, switches into full command mode, shutting off all irrelevant signals--other sights and sounds, including whatever pressing matters your spouse is trying to talk to you about--and focuses your entire consciousness on that sound. The utter uniqueness of the trump's sound helps. Guitars, lutes, and mandolins all sound somewhat alike; pipe organs, reed organs, and electronic organs are similar to a degree; but nothing sounds like the trump. Combine such an alertness to the trump's sound with a lifelong compulsion to make files, and you've pretty much got me pegged. What follows is merely the disgorging of the contents of my TRUMP IN THE MOVIES file. I have distributed these ninety-odd films into six categories: Animated Cartoons, Westerns, Modern Rural Settings, Comedy, Drama and Biography, and Documentaries and Instruction. These will be discussed in turn, followed by my conclusions and a checklist of films. Not all of these titles can easily be categorized; I don't guarantee that I've got it right. And there are quite a few films that I have not seen or have seen only in part; the discussion of these will be brief.

  • Sidney Poitier, Hollywood's First Black Leading Man, To
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SIDNEY POITIER, HOLLYWOOD’S FIRST BLACK LEADING MAN, TO RECEIVE NINE-FILM RETROSPECTIVE April 9–17, 2016 at Museum of the Moving Image Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger in In the Heat of the Night Astoria, Queens, NY, March 14, 2016—Actor, director, activist, and humanitarian, Sidney Poitier was a pioneer on many fronts: He has been called Hollywood’s first black leading man, and was the first African-American actor to win an Academy Award, in 1963. Poitier emerged as an iconic movie star during the dawn of the civil rights struggle, and during a time when there were few opportunities for black actors or directors in Hollywood. He projected a sense of dignity, moral strength, and determination balanced with cool poise. From April 9 through 17, 2016, Museum of the Moving Image will present a nine-film retrospective of Sidney Poitier. The series, Sidney Poitier, is organized by guest curator Mia Mask, Associate Professor of Film at Vassar College, and the co-editor with Ian Gregory Stachan of the new book Poitier Revisited: Reconsidering a Black Icon in the Obama Age (2015, Bloomsbury). Informed by the essays in the book, the film series invites viewers to take a fresh look at Poitier’s career, which is varied and complex, and includes significant work as a director as well as an actor. Mask will introduce No Way Out, which marked Poitier’s feature film debut in 1950, and Buck and the Preacher, his directorial debut, both screening on the opening day of the retrospective (April 9).
