Major Dundee	comment	Major Dundee is a 1965 Western film directed by Sam Peckinpah, starring Charlton Heston, Richard Harris, Jim Hutton, and James Coburn.The title character, Union cavalry officer Major Amos Dundee (Heston), is relieved of his command for an unspecified tactical error at the Battle of Gettysburg and sent to head a prisoner-of-war camp in the New Mexico Territory. When a family of ranchers and a relief column of cavalry are massacred by an Apache war chief named Sierra Charriba (Michael Pate), Dundee seizes the opportunity for glory, raising a contentious troop of Union regulars (black and white), Confederate prisoners, several Indian scouts, and a gang of civilian mercenaries on an expedition into Mexico to destroy the Apaches.

Major Dundee / int_8ae880f7	comment	Deconstruction: The film plays out as a deconstruction of the old "Cavalry Vs. Indians" formula that dominated so many westerns, taking many of the genre's familiar archetypes and trying to turn them on their heads. The main character is at best an anti-hero (and an extremely arrogant one at that), his friend turned enemy is often shown to be a better man than him, his unit is a study in dysfunction, Dundee not only does not get Teresa, he actually alienates her by cheating on her, and the final battles with the Apache and the French Lancers are far from glorious. Dundee doesn't even kill Charibba in the end, instead Charibba is killed by Tim Ryan the Bugle Boy, leaving Dundee to kick Charibba's body down a slope in an attempt to feel that he actually did something to him. And like most Sam Peckinpah films the film plays as a deconstruction of all things Rated M for Manly.

Major Dundee / int_905438eb	type	Recycled IN SPACE!
Major Dundee / int_905438eb	comment	Recycled IN SPACE!: R.G. Armstrong referred to the original cut as "Moby-Dick on horseback". Many of the characters are similar to those from that book, with Dundee as Captain Ahab, Tyreen as Starbuck, Ryan as Ishmael, and other minor characters, with Sierra Charriba and his Apache tribe substituting for the whale, as is the general plot line (an obsessive idealist drives himself to destruction, disregarding the effects on others). These references to Moby-Dick were likely intentional on the part of the screenwriters. Some have also pointed out similarities of the plot to the Vietnam War, which are highly unlikely to have been intentional, as the war had not significantly escalated at the time of the film's production.

One of the best examples of this is the fact that he wanted to intervene when Confederate Jimmy Lee was harassing black Union volunteer Aesop and would have had Dundee not stopped him in order to force Tyreen himself to intervene when tensions between the Confederates and the Union soldiers was escalating.

There are references to Lawrence of Arabia – the execution of Hadley, and Dundee's drunken exile in Durango, closely mirror sequences from this film.

Major Dundee / int_fed93e1b	type	Dark and Troubled Past
Major Dundee / int_fed93e1b	comment	Dark and Troubled Past: neither Dundee nor Tyreen have much detail explained about their pasts, but what little we do know paints a fascinating picture: Dundee is a Southern born career minded officer who nonetheless stayed loyal to the North during the Civil War, and made some kind of tactical mistake at Gettysburg, leading to his reassignment. Tyreen is an Irish immigrant who killed a fellow cavalryman in a duel and lost his commission (with Dundee casting the last vote in his court martial) and wound up serving the South. It's mentioned in passing that Tyreen's mentor died at Chickamauga (fighting for the Union) and implied that he feels guilty about it.
