Blood on the Land 1966 123movies

Watch: Το Χώμα Βάφτηκε Κόκκινο 1965 123movies, Full Movie Online – Under the scorching sun of June in turn-of-the-twentieth-century Thessaly, Odysseas Chormovas–the untamed and proud son of a powerful squire–returns to his birthplace to reunite with his father and older brother, Rigas, after a four-year-long imprisonment in Nafplio. Against the backdrop of a bitterly silent social turmoil, it is a common secret that, once more, an irrepressible rebellion followed by a violent confrontation for the equal sharing of the land boils over–a dangerously tense and volatile situation fanned by the preaching of a single man: the defiant intellectual, Marinos Andipas. But, this blessed soil is nourished by the sweat, the tears, and the innocent blood of the long-suffering field workers, men and women, and no power on this earth can suppress their voice. Can the furious blood spilled on the land appease the dead?.
Plot: Vassilis Georgiades directed this tense drama, one of the final Greek films made before the 1967 coup which led to restrictions on film content. The plot concerns struggles between peasants and the wealthy estate-owners over division of land in the early part of the 20th century. This battle is contrasted with the rivalry of two brothers over a woman’s affections. The performances are somewhat lacking, but Georgiades’ assured direction and presentation of a little-known chapter of Greek history resulted in an Oscar nomination as “Best Foreign Film.”

One of the best Greek films ever made
The story has to do with love, revolution, old ideas versus newer ones, conflict and finally a new world being created from the older one’s ashes.

Vassilis Georgiadis was lucky enough to have a great script in his hand and a terrific cast to match it. I mostly liked the four protagonists: Nickos Kourkoulos as the rebellious, justice-adoring son who’s not afraid to stand up against his family, Yiannis Voglis as his violent, tough brother, the GREAT Manos Katrakis as their wise but stubborn father and Mary Chronopoulou as Irene, a true feminist of the beginning of the 20th century. Also notice Notis Peryialis, the actor who plays the part of the only character of the story who really existed: Marinos Antypas The film was nominated for the Oscar of the Best Foreign movie. It’s a pity it didn’t win it…

Quite better “Greek Western”, with large GREAT CAST list.
During the “Golden Era” of the Italian “Spaghetti” Western Films, the Greek film company (“Finos Films” and several other smaller) wanted to “copy” that “western madness” of the global film companies.

Obviously, making a real American Western film (with Mexicans, Native Indians, etc) in Greece looked quite “odd” (or ridiculous to be more exact), so the producers thought to bring to life the VERY tragic era of late of 19th / early of 20th of the “young” (newborn) Greek State. Greeks, from the moment they rioted against the Turks (1821) they didn’t stopped fighting in small or large scale wars! So, around 1900, the Greek State was a VERY VERY POOR state, with very few ultra rich land-owners (purchased huge lands from the previous Turks’ owners) and all the rest Greek population very poor and working AS SLAVES to their lands.

It was the “Golden Era” of the GREEK BANDITS, many many became “Captains” with bandit groups and they “divided” the Greek country to “States”. Bandits like Davelis, Yagoulas, Jadjas, Koubay Brothers, Gandaras, are few of the VERY VERY FAMOUS Bandit Leaders… Also, it was the era of the low-class rioting against the land-owners, to gain their own small land states.

…So, this film is set-up on that era and on these events. Bandit groups, poor “slaves” workers, ruthless rich land-owners, police-men,… the film has them all. There is also nudity in the film, quite rare for Greek film.

…The story is with a ruthless land-owner, who has two sons. One left (can’t say more, to avoid spoils), one remained with the rich father (and became also ruthless junior owner). The other younger son returns and there is instant conflict with his brother. “Slave”-workers are working for their lands and the young son stands together with the workers, as his elder brother against them…

…That’s a small “peek” of the film. VERY GOOD film, very good Greek actors.
