Here is a pity

I once watched it with a friend, but the other party treated the film with a very impatient and contemptuous attitude. The reason is that it is long and not focused.
In fact, I personally see it very interestingly. This film strives to restore the traces of history, using a long and ordinary life course of a family to show everyone that era that has been destroyed and altered and cannot be retrieved.

We have seen the primitive simplicity, the infiltration of civilization, the greed and shame of mankind, and the helplessness and sighs of the times.
The history of western expansion is a history of conflicts between two civilizations. We can see the mighty and fearless pioneering spirit, and see how Western society has established proud towns in a barren wilderness. On the contrary, we can also see relatively backward. How did the Indian civilization step by step to yield, and finally decayed in the tears of bullying.
What I saw was a pity for the evil deeds of mankind, although this evil deed may be based on the original intention of a good wish.

    For generations, the family wanted to build a bridge of communication between whites and Indians, but their dream was shattered by nearly a century of colonial history by whites.

Into the West quotes

  • Thunder Heart Woman: [after Jacob was injured by an arrow to the chest, he asks them to leave him behind] Thank you... for finding me... for saving me... and for loving me.

    Jacob Wheeler: Loving you is easy it always has been. But I'll see you again. I know it... Jacob, Young Margaret Light Shines you mind your mother. And never forget who you are. You're one part Lakota, one part Virginia. Abraham High Wolf, remember who you are always and remind your brother Jacob.

    Thunder Heart Woman: [In Lakota] I love you.

  • David Wheeler: [after finding a huge chunk of gold] I think I'll buy me a grand city house with servants to wait on me, like those plantations back home... What about you, Jethro? What are you gonna do with your half?

    Jethro Wheeler: [Laughs] Half? What are you talking about, half? That was my claim. Oh, you'll get your reward but you ain't getting half. I'd say your take is a quarter.

    David Wheeler: I found it.

    Jethro Wheeler: Mmm-Hmm...

    David Wheeler: I found it! You owe me half, you son of a bitch!

    [Both draw their guns]

    Jethro Wheeler: You being family, I'll make it a third. Take it or leave it. Now sit down and have a drink.

    [Both reholster guns and sit down]

    David Wheeler: I found it.
