Some would say that Landall's only mistake was not shooting Anse when he escaped. But I think there is only one reason for such a big tragedy as "Blood Vengeance", the war didn't kill an idiot like Landall. In other words, the Yankees let Landall go and let him go back to fight the civil war. It was an excellent decision to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. War may be unavoidable, or it may be helpful to human reproduction, because it can kill inferior and stupid fools, leave smart and capable excellent types, improve the quality of human beings, and increase the adaptability of human groups.
So I think it is not accidental that the human brain has become bigger and smarter over the past tens of thousands of years. The powerful driving force of evolution is our current enemy of peace-war. Peaceful times are short-lived, because human beings multiply faster and faster, and more and more fools, and the stupidity of fools is unbearable, and war is inevitable. China has a large population, and India has a large population. If there is no civil war, the two countries with large populations will consume their populations due to foreign wars. This can increase the quality of the group, for example, smarter people have a better chance of survival, so the group will develop in a smarter direction. Lao Zhi launched Wen Ge and let the stupid peasants kill the elite group. This loss to the nation was similar to being ruled by another ethnic group again. When the Manchus ruled the Han, they also killed a large number of Han elites, leaving behind the stupid people who were easy to rule. Three hundred years, why can you rule for so long? Because it took three hundred years for the remaining stupid Han groups to reproduce the elite again. This is just my theoretical assumption. Laozhi made the wrong decision again, that is, the mass reproduction that lasted for several years, what you want is the demographic dividend. The larger the population base, the greater the probability of producing elites. But for the ethnic group, it is equivalent to trying to improve the pros and cons of the group to the level before Wengo. The rapid population growth is also related to the poor having more children. Although the probability of giving birth to elites is high, there are more idiots born. How to discipline so many idiots? Building a large number of schools is better to say that it is a brain processing factory, an education system tailored for idiots, training idiots into obedient idiots, and mass-producing a group of rigid-minded and obedient ducks. The system of the state determines the way of governance.
Going back to the movie, there are many scenes of Landau's family in the movie, which is abusive to the audience, because we all have humanitarian concerns, and fate is always cruel to people like Landau. I don't want to see Landau's perspective.
Anse is not religious, shrewd, far-sighted, sensible, and has a beautiful wife. If only he was filmed, this drama may not be too cruel.
