It seems like a no-brainer, anyone would do it. However, have you ever thought that even in acting, it is still very cruel for the Indians to experience the sufferings of their ancestors again in this civilized society.
The Spanish film "Rain Crisis", which was released in Spain in January this year, tells the story of this. A crew came to Bolivia to shoot such a historical film. Although it was designed to accuse the cruelty of the invaders, it was politically correct; although the lines of the priest who opposed Columbus were very touching - "Look into the eyes of the Indians, are they not human? Do they have no rational soul?" "However, there were several scenes in which the Indian extras acted agonizingly and were uncomfortable to watch. For example, in order to prevent their children from being killed by Columbus's dogs, Indian women had to reluctantly sink them into a pond. The Indian women as extras refused to act, even if it was just for fun. , holding the child into the waist-deep pond is enough, but they said that such a move "couldn't even think about it".
This is almost a paradox - if the film wants to express the accusation of the cruel rule of the Europeans against the Indians, it must restore the truth of history, but such truth will just cause harm to the sensitive hearts of the Indians again. Perhaps as the Indian "Daniel" in the film said: "Some things are more important than your films."
During the filming process, the crew encountered a water crisis, and the Indian residents rose up against the white government to privatize water resources. And charge expensive water bills. The struggle culminated in a horrific city-wide riot. The crew was in crisis and had to flee. No matter how much good they have in their hearts, they cannot bring free water to the local Indians. They found that Columbus was just getting started, and that the exploitation of Indians by whites for hundreds of years may never have stopped.
It was Columbus who discovered the American continent, the expedition of the Mayflower, and the birth of the United States and modern democracy. Human civilization has thus taken a big step forward. However, the hardships suffered by the Indians were irreparable.
Fortunately, human beings are always becoming more and more civilized. The so-called civilization, from the point of view of this film, is nothing more than giving people who are unwilling to progress the right to maintain a backward state and live in peace, and to enjoy the same welfare benefits that other ethnic groups in the country can enjoy. It is no longer the way it used to be, "behind you will be beaten".
