It's a fair concern. I thought it was gonna just be about how evil white men took over Indian land until strong powerful Indian women beat them up in fights and such, thereby avenging their people. That's not on hammock; that's on modern Hollywood. The syringe that stabs the woke into ya.

It wasn't like that though. I thought the main Indian actress was hot to be honest. Might have a touch of that red fever after this absolute marathon of a film. 3 hours 40 minutes!

Bullshit

I also read the book, and am looking forward to seeing it with the wife tomorrow.
The end of the book, where it details the author going back to visit the family and town was very interesting.

Holy **** this movie was great. Horrible story and not a great ending from a reality standpoint but the story in the movie was well written and acted.

9.5/10

Of course Scorsese, Leo, and De Niro made a classic.

Exactly.

There's nothing woke about this movie.

Side note: Ironcially, Clay loves "purple hair last jedi girl power BS"

Just got back from seeing it. Thought it was great. Went along pretty closely with the book.
I’d have liked to seen more from the FBI agent and his/their investigation, but I realize time was a factor.
Will watch again when it streams.

Clay is talking about loving Sabine in Ahsoka. He hates the Last Jedi chick.

If I’m following the dork science.

I’ll have to see the movie. I’m skeptical because the audio book is 9 hours and there really isn’t a lot to cut IMO. I’m also a ****ing rube. So there’s that.

My wife did, however. Also, drink lots of coffee or do lots of meth prior because when you include previews, it’s pushing 4 hours.
PM sent.

God. You are just the worst.

Many Native American Indians were very difficult to deal with due to conflicts between cultures of European settlers as well as being raiders and thieves. I'm by no means saying there weren't downright atrocities committed (by both sides) but it's not quiet as simple as pure evil vs pure angelic.


There was plenty of blood being shed between rival tribes and Mexicans long before the colonialists from Europe arrived.

WhawhaWhat 10-22-2023 12:34 PM
How does that relate to this movie?

Easy 6 10-22-2023 12:53 PM
Four freaking hours?

I'll pass
