"History of Western Development": The most beautiful history of whitewashing

With a super large lineup and magnificent momentum, the film uses three stories spanning decades to show the hardships and joys of white people in the development of the western world. It has gone through various events, such as civil war, gold rush, Indian... After so many grievances and sufferings, a long and long railway line was finally built, and now the American metropolis has become. As for the tainted deeds of the massacre of thousands of indigenous Indians in this new world, nothing was mentioned, but it was just a demonstration of how these savage and backward "little men" harassed the despicable work of building railways. This film can be regarded as the most beautiful whitewashing of the heinous crimes of white people. I really don’t know how many Americans today will remember the origins of Thanksgiving. In fact, it is used to commemorate the despicable Indian "villains". Turkeys come to entertain them, so that they can live in the world and build a great home.

It is also such a whitewashed history, which was so popular at the Oscars and won the best original screenplay award, which established the main theme of the Oscars. It is worth noting that this film was produced in 1962, almost exactly 100 years after Lincoln determined the fourth Thursday in November every year as a fixed celebration day for Thanksgiving in 1863. In 100 years, a gang of demons can be transformed into warriors of light. It can be seen that time can really make people forget a lot of things, especially the evil history that shouldn’t be seen by the sun, and will be washed away. Clean and thoroughly.
