Why is it a junk movie:
This is a Hollywood entertainment movie for white people. Any field scene: it must be hatred, ridicule, war against the Indians. Any indoor scene: It must be a Hollywood soap light comedy (even if the son's whole family is killed, the father's family is still very relaxed) Of course, this is in line with the objective fact, the white people have the money and the land, but the Indians are on the reservation. been kept in captivity.
Why is it a racist movie: In the
beginning of the movie, Indians kill a white family, and then the American army sacks an Indian camp. How simple is the logic: great, bright revenge. . .
I don't want to say more, let's go read history. The tribes in the film are already one of the few remaining tribes in the United States (there used to be 800 tribes). The protagonist in the film is an officer of the South in the Civil War, and he will not admit the failure of the South (that is to say, racial discrimination is his basic belief). In his view, the Indians were nothing but animals. Genocide was his method against the Indians. (For example: the sheriff said that they should pick up the remains of the deceased, but he continued to shoot wild buffaloes, so that the Indians would have no prey...)
Some people say that this film is only an objective reflection of the situation at that time, and the director did not mean racial discrimination. wrong! The director himself is racist. The white people in the film laugh, dance, get married, have family life, and each has a personality. What about the Indians in the film? Just wild animals. (Occasionally acting as a mentally retarded clown: the fat woman)
Keep your eyes peeled: both as a movie and as an ideology, this movie is rubbish.
