Columbus discovers the new world

After watching "The Searcher", if you can't understand the history of the bloody western development of the United States of America, the history of the butchery of the Indians, you may not have a good understanding of the movie, the ethnic divide and hatred, and the sovereignty of the land. The plunder, the gap and disapproval caused by the export of civilization...
All these will inevitably bring blood to the western development.
Will the Indians live forever in the peach blossom field, or will they accept the assimilation and influence of the whites? Advanced white people will inevitably become the people who lead and rule them!
It's like the Opium War had a great impact on the empire. If there were no Opium Wars and the country had not been opened by guns, maybe we were living in a closed peach blossom field, or there would be more than a few years in the peach blossom field!
When Columbus discovered the New World, he was both a great man and a sinner!
"The Searcher" is a classic Western by John Ford, and I don't see anything special.

    Three-and-a-half stars, the script and the frame-by-frame composition are the highlights. The West before the collapse of the big studio system was an idyllic homeland where heroes and children were born, and the self-righteous savior protagonist was like a preview of Travis in Taxi Driver, as the author Wishful thinking that Debbie is willing to return to a civilized society; the so-called reflexive hero covers up racism with family and family values, and the poetic imagination of the South is exactly the same as "Gone with the Wind", in terms of his hypocritical reflection on avoiding important things by playing emotional cards , There is no essential difference between this classic work and Disney animation.
