Watch: Chingachgook, die grosse Schlange 1967 123movies, Full Movie Online – It is 1740 and the English and French colonial forces are waging war against each other in their struggle to take control of North America. Both powers take advantage of existing tribal rivalries and enlist local tribes, the Delawares and Hurons, on either side of their conflict. Chingachgook, the last of the Mohicans, is now living among the Delaware and is granted the hand of the chief’s daughter after saving the old man’s life. His marriage is postponed however, when his betrothed is kidnapped by the Huron and Chingachgook sets out to recapture her with the assistance of his white friend, Deerslayer. This rescue is complicated by the interference of white settlers out to make money by collecting Huron scalps and ultimately Chingachgook must unite the tribes against their common enemy, the white man.
Plot: Chingachgook, a Mohawk-born Delaware warrior, strives to rescue his wife Wahtawah from the clutches of an enemy camp of Huron. Joined by his trusted huntsman Deerslayer, the two confront racist pioneers and brutal British soldiers in their quest. Deerslayer catches the desire of Judith and thus the jealousy of her suitor, Harry. The action of the story functions like a seesaw, characters continuously traveling back and forth between a house on the lake and the Huron camp until the violent climax.

Reviews:

A curiosity from East Germany
The Germans have long loved Westerns, and they made their own; this East German production from 1967 is based on James Fenimore Cooper’s The Deerslayer, set among warring Hurons, Delawares, British redcoats, and a few French in the Lake Ontario region. It has its charms, including some beautiful natural settings, but it’s of interest mostly as a curiosity. The Indians (you get a feeling many of them are blonds wearing black wigs and bronzer) perform campy ceremonial dances and apparently lift weights (a lot); as the Last of the Mohicans, Yugo actor Gojko Mitic is quite the hunk. The action and fight scenes are very mild (clearly intended for a 1960s kiddie audience). Sometimes the music (including some jazz) seems wildly inappropriate. The best thing this movie might do is make you question the assumptions implicit in US Westerns, and whether they were any more accurate about Native Americans and American history.

A word about the DVD released in the US in 2006: although the color is good, the original 2.35:1 aspect ratio is cropped to 1.66:1, losing any sense of widescreen spectacle (and sometimes obscuring characters or action); also, the English subtitles are poorly placed and may run off the bottom of the screen on some TVs. Even a movie that is little more than a curiosity deserves better presentation than this.

Brice sure looks the part, but that alone isn’t enough
“Chingachgook, die grosse Schlange” or “Chingachgook: The Great Snake” or “Der Wildtöter” is an East German movie from 1967, so this one has its 50th anniversary actually this year. And maybe some already realize from the title that this is another one of these GDR western films that were a bit of an equivalent to the West German Winnetou franchise back then. It runs for a bit under 90 minutes (without credits) and features German actors mostly, which is not too common really for back then as many of these films had a half German, half Yugoslavian cast. The exception is of course Gojko Mitic (still an infinitely better actor than Brice in my opinion) who plays the protagonist as always, even if his performance was maybe not in the center of it all here as in other films because there is also big focus on Römer’s character and also 2-3 others. Besides that, it is a really generic western as they always were back then. Visually it is fine in terms of landscapes, makeup and costumes of course, but story-wise and when it comes to characters’ shades, there is nothing really well-done here. 100% good or 100% bad is the general route (also in Winnetou films) and this one here is no exception. But the story is also not a failure and those who really enjoy the western stuff from back then will maybe have a good time watching. It’s probably not worse than what Reinl did around that time. The major difference is perhaps that these films never try to make a comedic impact at all while in the FRG films characters existed solely for the purpose of comedy next to Brice and Barker. So yeah, as a whole I did not enjoy the watch a lot and that’s why my general verdict is negative. I prefer the Italian/American westerns from that time.
