Historical Inaccuracy=Lazy Screenwriting

note about blatant Historical inaccuracy. A lack of historical accuracy in these types of period pictures always suggests lazy screenwriting and the lack of an immersive screenplay. The truth is that this film was written by an idiot who didn't do his homework and decided he'd sell his soul and write a cliche Hollywood screenplay --for some easy money-- instead of an original and immersive screenplay. This film is doomed to mediocrity and rightly so. The problem is that there are a lot of great Westerns that can and should be made but thanks to these morons those Westerns will never see the light of day thanks to low Box Office potential. Once again, the lack of basic historical accuracy is directly related to blatantly lazy screenwriting almost always-- and the cliche roll of the eyes worthy plotline combined with the lack of historical accuracy is enough to suggest that this film is going to be a steaming pile of crap.


So it?s like 3:10 to Yuma mixed with Homesman where Bale escorts someone in a historically inaccurate cheese-fest white savior film about a (no doubt do gooder) white guy who is of course a ?legendary? Army Captain ?saving? an Indian from other ?evil? Indians, and then of course to be PC we have Bale meet a woman who no doubt will be a Mary Sue/ strong and independent and a great shot to satisfy the feminazi?s. Hey why not include a "former slave" sidekick who escaped and killed his masters too! *rolls eyes*

Never mind that by 1880 the last non reservation holdouts of the Comanche were thrown into reservations, and the only ?tribal lands? for the Cheyenne were in South Dakota. All that they had in Montana was an Indian Reservation the army forced them into lol

and also the fact that white soldiers perpetrated the worst genocide amongst the Native?s even as far as 1890 (Lokota massacre) and wouldn?t care about helping an old man back to a reservation in Montana. (Not saying Bale 'wants' to help, but certainly he's helping because he was asked to do so-- by a white man)

So much cliche cheese, Hollywood? grab a history book or talk to a historian for crying out loud. You're dooming the Western genre to mediocrity which is sad considering the Western age in America is probably one of the most interesting periods of all time with millions of fantastic true stories to tell. This is a movie and taking reality (Western world) and mixing it in with fiction (made up story) is fine, but at least get the reality part (Western world) right otherwise it should rightly be deemed lazy screenwriting.
