1931: Cimarron

Last week, Asha and I watched the 1931 Academy Award "Best Picture": Cimarron. Reading the description, I expected a real Cowboy and Indian movie but that sure wasn't the case! The story's about a family dealing with the husband's wanderlust and support for Native American causes as he starts a newspaper in the Oklahoma frontier. A very deep story with a surprisingly positive stance on the Native American (while, interestingly, including the common parody of African Americans). Probably my second favorite, so far, after All Quiet on the Western Front.
