Summary
Blueberry (2004) is a French Western film directed by Jan Kounen. The movie follows the journey of Michael 'Mike' Blueberry, an adolescent sent to live with his uncle in the Wild West. Mike's uncle shows little interest in him and uses a stick as his primary means of communication. After a violent encounter with Wallace Blount leaves Mike for dead, he is taken in by an Apache tribe who nurse him back to health. Upon his return to town, Mike becomes an honest deputy marshal. The film explores themes of initiation, honor, and the corrupting influence of power, as represented by the gold fever that ultimately threatens the sanctity of Mike's new home.
