Is it all the white man's fault in this movie?

Glad to hear. Looking to see this movie sometime this week.

I really enjoyed it. It was not what I expected but I think that was for the better. It's this generation's Dances With Wolves.

Easy now, it’s good but it’s not that good. It’s dark, it’s hopeless, it’s brutal, and it’s unforgiving.
The acting is great, I was hoping for more encounters with Comanche but it was a solid flick.

The point was he thought initially Wes Studi and his people were the hostiles. As he learns through the journey, he was being attacked by hostiles, but from everyone, but Wes Studi and ended up raising his grandson.
This was a very intense, brooding, but really good movie.

No, the white man is not solely to blame. Everyone is a hostile. All sides. The Natives. The Settlers. The Army. The Press. The Government.

Hostiles was way better than I was expecting. I don't know how a film like that has a rating on RT of 72%

escalation on both sides and a clash of ideologies that was almost unavoidable at the time of ignorance and greed.

Cool - thanks man. I’m looking forward to seeing this one, just didn’t want to pay to be lectured by Hollywood. Sounds like a solid show though.

It was ok. Very cinematic, but every other aspect was mediocre
Posted on 1/29/18 at 9:25 am to bluestem75
I liked it, pretty hardcore movie.

I concur with the "thumbs up" for the movie.
However, I felt that I walked every one of those miles to Montana with them, it was so slow moving.

I think that it was about the captain’s transformation and reexamination of his purpose in life and his world view. I don’t think that his journey changed him all that much. But the one difference between where he came from and where he wound up is that he became able to grant basic humanity to Indians. Along with a deep respect for at least one family of Indians. He was at wounded knee for God’s sake. The atrocities committed there will reverberate through history. Making purses and other things with human breasts and other body parts? Lamp shades made of tanned human skin? Human vulva for tobacco purses?
As was pointed out to him...the only difference between him and a condemned man was who he did those things to.
He was a butcher. Filled with hate due to the deaths of his friends over the years. He saw them all die.
He thought that there was never any way that he could view Indians as human. He saw the atrocities that they committed first hand and saw no other regress for those other than the total destruction of these savages. He was committed.
However, this journey forced him into close proximity with his sworn enemy. Mutual respect at least, was earned.
He may raise that Indian kid. But he wouldn’t hesitate to kill him either if the need arose.
That was a brutal time. And it took brutal men...and women to survive it. The captain was a product of his time. He was very good at killing and not being killed.
I hope that men like him really existed. I believe that they did. And I’m thankful that they did.
But I wouldn’t want one for a neighbor.

Drawing a blank on the female lead's name but she was in Jack Reacher with Cruise & really looked hot. The main reason I went to see this movie. Liked the movie fwiw.

Pretty good movie, but definitely too slow at times. 7/10
Posted on 2/9/18 at 7:11 pm to Keltic Tiger
Rosamund Pike. Also in Gone Girl, which is all I can think of when I see her

You mean Oscar nominated Rosamund Pike?

I wish they would've shown the Cheyenne killing the Comanches. Solid movie and great casting especially for the Indians.
