The New Land 1972 123movies

Watch: Nybyggarna 1972 123movies, Full Movie Online – The continuing saga of the Nilssons – husband and wife Karl-Oskar and Kristina, their several young children with another on the way, Karl-Oskar’s younger brother Robert, and some of their extended family members such as Kristina’s Uncle Danjel – and several of their Swedish compatriots is presented. This phase of their story begins where their saga in Utvandrarna (1971) left off, in the fall of 1850, having just arrived in Minnesota from their native Sweden to begin what they hope will be a better life. They left Sweden because of the harsh and worsening conditions of their farm life, and chose Minnesota based on the stories of many of their Swedish friends who emigrated there before them. While Karl-Oskar goes through the process of setting up their homestead, eighteen year old Robert already has bigger dreams of striking it big in the California gold rush, something he is reluctant to tell Karl-Oskar until he is ready to leave if only having been under Karl-Oskar’s guardianship and Karl-Oskar perhaps thinking him too young, impulsive and thus foolish. His plan is to go with his best friend Arvid, the two of them who would take the steamship down the river to St. Louis, from where they would walk the rest of the way. Also reluctant to say anything is Kristina, who can’t help believe they made a mistake in leaving Sweden and their known life. Karl-Oskar and Kristina go through a series of highs and lows in their new life, some related specifically to being in Minnesota at this point in time, such as dealing with Indians and the imminent Civil War, and not knowing the language, and some related to their general life regardless of location, including Kristina’s feeling of her role in the family. Robert’s California tale is also told, he who returns back to Minnesota with a bagful of money four years after leaving, but who looks a little worse for wear..
Plot: A Swedish immigrant family struggles to adapt to their new life on the American frontier during the second half of the 19th century amidst civil war, native uprising and the lure of gold in California.

The continuation of a saga on early America
“The New Land” is the second half of a story started in Troell’s “The Emigrants,” which depicted the struggles of a band of Swedish peasants in their move to America. Here, several of the settlers- such as the priest and the prostitute- move away in the first half-hour and reappear here and there throughout the rest of the film. The plot focuses on Karl-Oscar, his wife Kristina, and the family they try to raise in the Minnesota wilderness.

Von Sydow and Ullmann are given a chance to embellish on their characters, and they both do excellent work. Axberg also does a fine job of lending more depth to the character of Robert, Karl-Oscar’s rebellious younger brother. There is also material worked in that examines the mistreatment (and eventual uprising) of local Native Americans and the futile searches for gold in the north. These other elements do not always seem to fit with the central story, but they effectively add to the sense of time and place anyway.

“The New Land” does not have the same emotional impact that “The Emigrants” had, but it develops the two central characters more and intelligently explores how they learn to adapt to their new life. Put together, these two films convincingly illustrate the plight of those who forged our frontier.

each emigration story is different
The Scandinavian film festival at the local cinematheque concluded several weeks ago, but yesterday,as a follow-up, we watched the second film of the mid-19th century Swedish emigration to America saga based on Vilhelm Moberg’s novels and directed by Jan Troell. ‘The New Land’ (or ‘Nybyggarna’ in Swedish) was released on screen in 1972, one year after ‘The Emigrants’ and in modern terminology it can be considered a ‘sequel’ although the whole was probably from start conceived as a tandem of two films. The film continues the epic of the survivors of the group of peasants who, driven by economic constraints and religious persecutions in their native Sweden, had crossed the ocean to begin a new life in America. The new country, represented not only a territory waiting to be explored and a nature that was demanding to be subdued but also a conflicting history ignored by most newcomers. This second film is the story of the first decades of their new life, of the confrontation with different mentalities and the realities of conflicts and contradictions about which the new immigrants knew nothing until then.

Emigration stories are rarely simple, in some respects similar, and differ in many others. ‘The Emigrants’, the first film was obviously a Swedish saga. The action in ‘The New Land’ takes place entirely in the United States, but the story is again told from a Swedish perspective (the movie is spoken 99% of the time in Swedish) and the film does not become an American saga on screen. The authors of the script adapting Moberg’s novel have chosen to focus on the fate of the Nilsson family – Carl Oskar, his wife Kristina and his younger brother Robert. The rest of the characters, including the route companions from ‘The Emigrants’, become at best secondary characters. We watch the struggle for survival and the hard work of the family that builds – with their own hands – a farm in Minnesota and a new destiny for themselves as American citizens. But the perspective is still that of immigrants, even when the action broadens its scope and describes the conflict between the newcomers and the US government on the one hand and the first inhabitants of America (the “Indians”) on the other. Removed by fraud and violence from their lands to make room for the immigrants, the later respond with violence and cruelty, their revolt being repressed with even more violence.

The Indian war episode in the movie is the only time when the historical perspective is a little wider, the rest of the story taking place on a patch of land on the edge of a lake in Minnesota, and focusing on the relationships between Carl Oskar and Kristina, on their struggle to control nature, and on the adaptation of newcomers to the surrounding economy and society. The quality of the film consists primarily of the human dimension of the experience that the viewers live together with the characters. The heroes have to face the sometimes hostile nature, the older and newer locals and the rules of a world different from the one they lived in, but they also carry their own ballast of traditions, prejudices and religious conflicts imported from the old country. The resulting period landscape is truthful and impressive, this is the result of the vision of the director and of the wonderful acting of Max von Sydow and Liv Ullmann, two of Ingmar Bergman’s favorite actors. Director Jan Troell patiently and painstakingly builds together all the blocks of a cinematic edifice that largely succeeds to pass the test of time despite the length and slow pace of the story which challenges modern viewers. The nature that surrounds the heroes, sometimes generous, sometimes threatening, also plays an important role and is filmed with the specific sensitivity of Scandinavian film-makers. Even if not all the elements of the story are equally interesting and important, and even if not all the characters have consistency and clear outlines, I remained after watching ‘The New Land’ with the impression of a human and historical document, of a solid and sensitive cinematographic work.
