Au pays de Skipetars

I read the book at the age of ten, and back then I was quite thrilled about it. It was simply a time when I indulged in pulp fiction and fell asleep with Tarzan novels in my hands. The film quite faithfully conveys the content and atmosphere of the novel onto the silver screen. Unfortunately, since I'm no longer ten, I have to perceive the naivety and endearing inferiority of Karl May's works. However, I do remember that at the movie theater back then, boys my age would stand up from their seats with enthusiasm and clench their fists during the pursuit of the villain, and when he was caught, the entire movie theater would cheer happily. Yes, there was something about that age and our film heroes back then... Overall impression: 45%. (28/05/2009)

Clearly, it's still just Old Shatterhand, even though they call him something a little different here, the same actors are still here, even though they dress a little differently, but the characters are the same without it really mattering. The message doesn't change and truth and honor are still just as important, as is the willingness to help. The setting is still beautiful, and if everyone were dressed like Indians and cowboys, you would believe them too. (30/01/2015)
