best movie I've seen this season. Worth a viewing.
Oops meant for entertainment board, mods please transfer over there. Thanksbest movie I've seen this season. Worth a viewing.
Crap yes, spelled it wrong. And I don't think you can fix a thread title. But yes "Hostiles"! GREAT flick.Uh, don't you mean "Hostiles"? or is there a new movie out about European bed rentals?

I live for his wife’s “Heart attack on a plate”. My arteries are clogging now just thinking about itWas gonna say...Hostels? Better stay away from Cuseregular's parties, and his pass dishes at tailgates. Lol!
No worries. FixedCrap yes, spelled it wrong. And I don't think you can fix a thread title. But yes "Hostiles"! GREAT flick.
Tell us more. I am loath to go to a movie that will tell me how bad I should feel about things that happened in America while me ancestors were in Ireland.best movie I've seen this season. Worth a viewing.
You conservatives won't or more fairly might not enjoy it as much since part of it is a nuanced unbiased look at the manifest destiny doctrine which ordained that everything belonged to us and was there for the taking so we took it based on Gods will of us as the favored chosen race.Tell us more.

However that said you may like part of it that accurately shows how blood thirsty and horrific a significant percentage of the Native American culture were themselves. For any open minded well balanced person capable of nuanced shades of grey thinking vs everything being black and white, for those people, which I think is most people, it's as I said I the OP a worthwhile viewing.
If based on that you don't think it's your type of flick that I heartily reccomend seeing 12 strong which I saw last night and was also great (fyi to anyone who lives here in the movie tavern has a deal through Costco where for $10/month you can see a movie a day!). No restrictions. Yes you read that right.
You're right, apologies, I've amended the op a bit to paint with a less of broad of a brush. But you missed the point somewhat in the op which in actuality agrees with the meat of your own post.Boy, are you a pompous a**!
I just don't don't enjoy being told that I should feel bad because the mores of today didn't apply 200 years ago.
Many Indian tribes were just a brutal as our fore bearers. Many tribes expanded by conquering other tribes so as to take over their areas, take their women, steal their horses, whatever. It wasn't just white people. It was people. (Why else did China need a wall?) White people were just better at it than the American tribes.
People have evolved. We get it. Applying today's morals to ancestors is just dumb, and is a way for liberals to feel moral smug.
However, if the movie were to be a piece of historical fiction which is used to bring to a reasoned discussion why things were done the way they were done, and what should we learn from it, and how should be formulate policy moving forward, that would indeed be a good use of my time. You may be be so wrapped up in your own white guilt that you can't comprehend the nuanced difference.
