In 1892, the killing of hatred among various ethnic groups in the United States abounded. In particular, the fighting between whites and Indian tribes was the most tragic. The white people implemented a settlement policy for the Indians, drove the Indians to the barren land with the worst environment and the most difficult living conditions, and even used the contradictions between the indigenous tribes to carry out the Indian self-extinction strategy. Implement the scalp hunting bounty policy. Of course, the Indians will not blindly be slaughtered. Just like the Sediq in Taiwan involved in the Wushe incident, many Indian tribes have also risen up against them: scalping, burning houses, and slaughtering villages are also forced to kill red eyes. .
In this context, Captain Joe and the old Chief Yellow Eagle have a bloody feud. Both of them have seen each other's brutal killing and blood killing.
But God's will make people, in desperation, Joe still took the president's amnesty order to escort the yellow eagle north to his settlement. On the way, I met Mrs. Quaid, who was slaughtered by the Comanche tribe. After that, Mrs. Quaid, who helped collapse, buried the whole family and took her on the journey.
The unique scenery of the western United States along the way is unobstructed, it is simply spectacular! ! ! The geomorphology, environment, and climate have created an intricately beautiful picture of nature. There is also the scene of riding the dust and flying yellow earth on horseback, whether it is walking or horse fighting, it is wonderful.
On this road, in addition to guarding against the Comanche's harassment, we must also beware of other unexpected accidents (attacked by whites). In this way, a group of people, like the American Western version of "Exodus", has gone through ups and downs, rested and reduced staff, and finally reached its destination. During this period, many people also experienced the process of redemption and self-salvation. For example, Tommy who confessed to the old chief, Mrs. Quaid who chose to treat the old chief's family kindly, and the old chief's family's help to the escort and Mrs. Quaid.
After experiencing all these things, the hearts of Joe and Huang Ying, who had been frozen for a long time, gradually melted. In the end, the two of them were completely relieved and became friends. Just like Joe said, both sides have lost a lot of friends, so let the hatred of each other be taken away with Huang Ying's death.
After the burial of the yellow eagle, the sad reminder came again. Who wants to kill Cheng Yaojin halfway, a white guy who doesn't even bother with the president's orders. No way, the gun battle started again, but this time the casualties were too great, and in the end only Mrs. Quaid, the Indian boy, and Joe survived.
At the end of the film, Joe, who is a good man in his bones, is a good home. After thinking about it again and again, Joe finally overcame the entanglement in his heart and boarded the last train to happiness.
The title "The Enemy" should not only express the hatred between whites and Indians. The state of hostility inside is more a point of intensification of contradictions from many aspects. For example, Henry thanked Joe for his attitude towards himself, which shows that the black race at the time was also regarded as a race of color and was discriminated against and hostile. There are also the arrogant and hunting addicts among the whites. They are both contradictory opposites and hostile elements to be eradicated.
