Shouldn't need a title

I don’t know if it’s because I’m part of it now or what, I feel deeply about the looting of the Native Americans by the Europeans back then. The interweaving of fiction and reality in the first half is well done, and there are thought-provoking plots such as the part where the actor refused to play the scene of drowning a child, but the second half of the film gives people a feeling that the realistic plot line is not buried , the transformation of metaphors into similes seems a bit too deliberate and too obvious, and the film is easy to have a strong didactic meaning if it is not handled with stability. The characters are slightly caricatured, and later the two main characters seem to have not only exchanged their positions in the film, but even have a tendency to possess each other, which is a bit thunderous. What is lacking the most is the depiction of the native Daniel. I never believe that there will be someone who has a firm character for no reason, or that a firm character for no reason can only be called stubbornness. The film originally had many opportunities to show his thoughts and his reasons, but in the end, it showed like a person with a "civilization" Indigenous philosophies and principles that people can't understand", what about his heart and his feelings? Can't just say "You don't understand" to make people really not understand? I think that even if this film is not calling for mutual understanding, at least the contradiction should be controlled within the range where the two sides are evenly matched in spirit. Of course, maybe I have high expectations for the film just because this inexplicable partly is in it. I like the color tone quite a bit, some of the framing will make people's eyes shine, and the music doesn't pay attention = = I hope it's not because I made a fried shrimp midway due to force majeure that I saw this movie as this kind of Asi. . Suddenly I remembered that the film also has a little excavation of history. This part is very attractive to me, but it will stop there. . Why does Asi feel that the more she writes, the more her expectations are too high >_<
