The indian killing ruined the movie (spoiler)

"Well the americans can´t complain then if someone does the same thing to them one day."

This isn't fair at all. I had to hear about the way we slaughtered the Native Americans every year in history class (all of middle school and high school). I haven't paid enough? Now I have to get slaughtered as well? And I can't even complain about being slaughtered?

I don't recall ever killing anyone. I don't even recall any ancestors who were in America during the time of westward expansion. So why the *beep* do I have to pay for all of this? Do you consider yourself a reasonable person? Do you think of yourself as a mature, fully grown individual?

By the way, this movie wasn't made in America. It's a spaghetti western. It's not a piece of American propaganda. It was filmed in Europe and had European writers. Those writers probably didn't give a *beep* if they stereotyped Native Americans or not. Thems the breaks, kid.

In all cultures throughout history, people have been marginalized, massacred, and treated like crap in general. I guess all of us, including you, deserve to suffer the same horrible treatment that our ancestors may have inflicted on others. That sounds reasonable. Or... maybe you're just another moron that spews idiotic B.S on IMDb message boards.

Looking at your profile, and the few movies that you've chosen to respond to (Skinwalkers, Doomsday, Urotsukidoji, and some HK softcore porn movies) I have a hard time believing you are a "master student" in anything, especially "old history" (as opposed to "new history" and "really old history.")

I was hoping there be a tough gunner indian to team up and make a trio when I saw it on [amc] channel today. But I loved seeing a samurai going head to head with an indian with a spear. Loved the movie. I never thought a samurai western excisted in a charles bronson manly film.

As somebody else pointed out, this isn't an American film. It is an imitation of older American films mixed with the samurai film and a dash of the buddy movie. Personally, I found it odd when the whole fighting the Indians affair started but only because of the year in which the film was made. The whole dragging up of ancestry thing in this thread is kind of weird. It bears little relevance to this film. People should just be all nice and that.

BAH! I am directly descended from Native American Indians, Chickasaw Tribe. I am TIRED of hearing about the 'noble savage.'
I have studied many of the tribes that existed and they were ANYTHING but noble. Many of them raided and murdered other tribes, enslaved them and raped thier women. ALL this before white men ever set foot in the Mid West. As for living one with the land, BAH! Truth is, they hunted and farmed the land barren until they could no longer live off of it and had to move on, like locusts. There are mny tribes that are extinct now, not because white man decimated them, but because they were killed off by other 'noble' Indians.
History is repleat with one people taking over others. It is where we ALL came from. To blame those that live today for the actions of ancestors is indicative of serious mental retardation.

Your complaint is without foundation, except in your own biases. During the last battle, the Indians killed all but three of their enemies. They had also killed several at the church. As for their relative lack of success, you overlook the fact that many of the Indians charged their enemies armed only with a tomahawk or a spear, not much use against a repeating rifle or a six gun. Some few had bows and used them somewhat effectively, though the samurai was a better archer.
As for being bloodthirsty, the whites were more serious about killing than the badly armed Indians who were too dumb to know when they were outgunned.
