Once again white bandits in the service of mean businessmen, are responsible for murder in the Indian reservation. The plan is to heat up tension between Indians and white settlers, and so provoking a lethal army operation. Implementing bad guy is the smart outlaw Rollins. On behalf of the governor, Winnetou and Old Shatterhand hurry to set up peace negotiations immediately with the uncontrollable Jicarillo tribe, but the smart Rollins arranges murder of the son of Jicarillo´s chief White Buffalo. To make matters worse Rollins makes the killing look like as if Winnetou has committed the shameless crime... (official distributor synopsis)

If you succumbed to the beautiful and almost childish pathos of fearless heroes – the enlightened white man Old Shatterhand and the still-enlightened Apache chief Winnetou – then you have certainly always watched Winnetou: The Last Shot with a strange chill and bated breath, just like me... Because you knew what was coming. It's probably a little bastardized, but Winnetou's sacrifice will forever remain one of the most beautiful and sad movie moments for me, and the retrospective that follows it... I shed so many tears that they could fill the Rio Grande to the brim with them: o)). The last shot is not only good thanks to the ending. It is an adventure film that has everything and the last blow to the chest is just the touching culmination of a memorable series. I applaud.

The best May Day of all time and it's just about that last shot. As a younger person, I cursed the third part in order to get back to it through a painful journey and fell in love with it. Non-violent political and human subtext, still functional catchphrases, and superb scenery. And in conclusion, the greatest movie betrayal of my life. "My brother..."

Of course, these are mostly nostalgic elements, but this is simply such an amazing film, where sadness always overwhelms me at the end. I know that as a child, I cried like a turtle during this film. Vinnetou deserved this as his last film, which is not entirely true, because he later appeared in others that, of course, preceded this story. That brotherhood still makes an impression on me.
