Fake history

Rating: 1/10 (9 July 2019)

The people who run Hollywood have a stake in re-writing history in ways that benefit them. Alas, that means our ancestors will be portrayed within a narrative that is fake and seeks to perpetuate certain myths, which, in turn, are used to achieve political goals. If you are not tired of the narrative about evil Europeans who bring misery to noble Indians, you might want to waste over two hours of your life. The only reason this film is that long, apparently, is the writers' desire to make the protagonist endure every calamity they could imagine. He survives a bear attack, a fall down a massive waterfall in icy water, being fired upon a million times, jumping off a cliff Rambo style, surviving for hours without warm clothes by recreating a scene from Empire Strikes Back, and finally being stabbed several times with a knife. He is a mix of Rambo and John McLane. The whole thing is strangely comical. Finally, the film is disappointing in terms of emotional payoff. I felt nothing. What a waste.
