Watching westerns often has plots that vilify the indigenous people. There are either no natives in modern westerns, or natives are tragic victims. However, the treatment of indigenous people in this film is more'objective'. I don’t know if it’s really objective, but at least it’s special.
At least three different indigenous peoples appear in the film. I don't understand the relationship between them. But a large part of the old man's words couldn't be clearer: the United States of America took it by hand.
As usual, young female natives who were abused by whites appeared in the film. As usual, she worshipped the lonely hero and would follow him to the death. But she didn't even have sex with the idol! Very character.
No one can be absolutely good or evil:
white people, there are good people, and there are bad people.
Indigenous people, there are heroes, there are also spoiled species.
At least this is more objective.
