people! Only the most extensive people are the creators of history

I recently turned to this mini drama, "Western Storm". Of course, I mainly saw the famous Spielberg on the paper. The brothers he filmed and the Pacific War were all finished in one episode. This drama is in two episodes. It was filmed in the middle of the war drama. I don’t know why I don’t know why there are not many people recommending it. This drama won many awards in the United States when it came out. After watching it, I had to admire Spielberg. In just 6 episodes, the narration The history of the United States for nearly a hundred years is heart-warming. It is simply a heavy history textbook.



The film tells about the prosperity and decline of a wheelsmith family and an Indian tribe. Of course, the Americans are prospering and the Indians are declining. From small people to alluding to the big history, the characters’ joys and sorrows are used to tell the rise and fall of the big history, and it is very objective, which positively reflects that the white American regime is based on the looting and killing of Native Indians. I think this should be Spear. Because Berg himself is a Jew, by comparison, the end of the Indians is more tragic than that of the Jews.



It has been said on the Internet that Spielberg is not very friendly to China, but in the film the image of Chinese people building railways is quite positive. The Chinese are a hard-working and intelligent nation. Not only textbooks say so, Spielberg also thinks so. I I think that being unfriendly is definitely not aimed at the Chinese people.



The reason why the United States became the United States is fully demonstrated in this film. When an American grows up, it is natural to leave home to pursue his dreams. No one wants to follow the rules for a lifetime. The generations in the film are like this. The Chinese resettlement is completely different. I think Americans still do this to this day.



Of course, the United States is definitely based on the bloody slaughter of Indians, but compared to Genghis Khan’s savage slaughter that conquered the world, South American Indians perished in the wild slaughter of the Spanish, and the American conquest appeared to be more civilized. Treaties were signed, reservations were made, and relief was given. But in the face of frictions among ethnic groups in China a hundred years later, aren’t there still angry youths who want to destroy those ethnic groups? After all, in the United States now, the majority of Indian tribes are still multiplying. live.



The film ended after another crazy massacre of the Indians. The primitive social organization of the Indians was completely unable to cope with modern civilization and could only be conquered tragically. In contrast, the Chinese were lucky. It is the relative perfection of our own civilization structure that keeps us lingering and not being swept into the garbage dump of history. Second, the great man Mao Zedong appeared in China. From a higher historical perspective, Mao has brought dignity to the Chinese people, and there are many kinds of life. In the film, the Indians continued to survive, but it was difficult to live with dignity. In fact, after watching it, I also read a speech by an American photographer on the current living conditions of American Indians. Most of the Indians are quite poor. The unemployment rate is as high as 90%, which is completely the bottom of the bottom of the United States. Without Mao, it would be difficult for China to have the current situation. Deng brought wealth to China, but in fact, China was never poor. Even at the end of the Qing Dynasty, GDP had longed to take up half of the world. Therefore, Mao is now a god in many places. For example, in Tibetan areas, many people hang the portrait of Mao in the middle, thinking that Mao is the incarnation of Manjushri.



people! Only the most extensive people are the creators of history! I doubt whether the director or producer has gone through Mao's selection. This film vividly reflects that the vast majority of people are the creators of American history.


The whole film is majestic and the scenery is quite spectacular and beautiful, because it is to show that it was in the western United States 100 years ago. The scenery inside is very similar to the western Sichuan. In the film, the characters also sighed the magnificence of the western United States many times. To this end, I went to a high-definition version, and plan to watch it again.

    Very sad. The slogan in China at that time was "Learn the skills of the barbarians to control the barbarians", but for the Indians, they had to learn the things of the white people, just to be able to survive

    The pace is too slow, but the historical drama is well written. . . The history of the development of the American West == The history of Indian blood and sweat
