Winnetou - Eine neue Welt (E01)

Very impressive, this bold undertaking. It’s a more realistic take on the Old Shatterhand/Karl May adventures in the Wild West. It’s an attractive subject that has been read over again and presented again to a generation that has not stuck to the conventions of the 1960s. For the first time, I also liked the story of Sam Hawkens. And it's always good to think contextually about the steel steed's journey through the real landscape. (21/01/2017)

It wasn't easy at all, but it worked. Very sympathetic actors, pleasantly adventurous atmosphere, no violent screenwriting digressions in an attempt to distinguish themselves as much as possible from the original films, almost no modern filmmaking uselessness (except for the occasional shaky camera). I'm not one of those viewers who would speak of the May films only with awe and admiration (in my opinion, they were largely improved by our dubbing), which is probably why I don't have such a problem with this one.
