Luis Trenker Western

In my opinion "Emporer of California" is viewed as a Western more so than a Nazi film. Gold is really important in most Western films,and this one is not any different. We see the struggle that our main character has to go through to survive in the "wild west." Therefore, in my eyes this film definitely relates more to a Western genre. I also do see the part of the movie that makes it a typical Trenker film. I do think the shots that are taken of the landscape and the mountains really make it an authentic Trenker film. Along with this him climbing mountains are what you would see in a typical Trenker film.
