Western. A screen adaptation of the novel "Osceola: Leader of the Seminoles" by the famous English writer Thomas Mein Reed (which I have not read).
"Osceola" is an East German film from 1971 and if you hear this and the somewhat exotic title, you probably already guess correctly that this is another GDR Indian movie starring the Eastern Winnetou Gojko Mitic. It plays in the first half of the 19th century, definitely an interesting era, but it also becomes obvious here once again that the script and story were just not good enough to come up with a convincing film overall.
"Osceola" takes us to Florida 1835 when the white farmers want complete control of the land, so sending the Seminole Indians to a reservation far away is planned - which leads to warfare. Chief Osceola (Gojko Mitic) unintentionally reminds me of Tarzan a lot: his main job is to rescue anybody in trouble, for example from a crocodile when crossing the river.
