Realistic Tale of a Relatively Modern Conquest

Rating: 10/10 (18 May 2018)

This movie starts off feeling dated. It being written by Rudyard Kipling does not help. He is known both for the greatness of his works and his antiquated views on conquest and imperialism. However, this movie really shows itself as just not outdated but fitting to the time it was set in, and it delves deep into the follies of man.
Many men thought it wise to subjugate and manipulate men less cunning than themselves; this movie shows how two men can fall into that trap and the price they pay.
