 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Cossacks (1928) is a silent film directed by George Hill and Clarence Brown.It stars John Gilbert, MGM's leading heartthrob for most of The Roaring '20s. Here Gilbert plays Lukashka, son of Ivan, the chief of a band of Cossacks sometime during the Tsarist era. Lukashka disdains the traditional Cossack pastime of killing Turks; instead he only wants to romance pretty villager Maryana (Renee Adoree, Gilbert's co-star in The Big Parade). Lukashka's unwillingness to go off on raids disgusts everyone in the village, including his dad and his girlfriend. Eventually he does go to fight the Turks, winning everyone's respect, but another complication arrives in the form of Prince Olenin from Moscow, who is looking for a Cossack wife to bind the Cossacks closer to the monarchy.The Cossacks was one of the last big silent spectacles ever made, and one of the last big hits for John Gilbert, whose career tanked with the coming of talkies.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

 Father, I Don't Want to Fight: Lukasha is highly reluctant to go off and fight the Turks, although it's never really explained why.

 Conflict Ball: It's not particularly clear why Lukashka won't go on raids with the other men. He doesn't appear to have any moral objection to it, and once he finally does, he proves quite good at killing Turks.

 Cold-Blooded Torture: The Turks do this to Ivan and Lukashka, pretty much For the Evulz.

 The Cavalry: The Cossacks pretty much are this all the time, but specifically when they ride out and save Lukashka from his Turkish captors. The Cavalry Arrives Late, as far as Ivan is concerned.
