Buffalo droppings

Rating: 1/10 (6 November 2016)

Listening to the audio version of the book I realize in comparing this movie to the original script what a horrid Buffalo smelling patty this movie turned out to be. The gutted the historical ambiance of the original to make another Political Correct but historically incorrect tiresome statement (Dances with Wolves meets Avatar in the snow) ...that all White men are savages & all Natives are noble, enlightened , mystical lovable dopey doe eyed peoples that just want to smoke the pipe, make love and ride Unicorns.
In the movie the smelly White fur traders, hunters & trappers are outnumbered 1000 to 1 but they still lash out savagely at any Indian they cross paths with... raping ,murdering and plundering the Nobles even after getting slaughtered along a river. (forgetting that they are there to build alliances or at least not to antagonize the Nobles for safe passage of Beaver pelts down the rivers, profit before passion comes to mind after spending two years of one's life trapping Beavers and sleeping on hard cold ground, eating half cooked meat & wiping with bark ) Now this brooding bloody rewrite of the book & history got very predictable with DiCaprio's constipated mugging of the camera with the Rockies as a backdrop .
I GET IT...I'M SORRY,I'M QUILTY FOR THE MISADVENTURES OF MY LATE GREAT ANCESTORS IT WON'T EVER HAPPEN AGAIN!
Especially after watching culturally corrected gore porn rewrites of a 'A Man Called Horse' & 'The Magnificent Seven' plus other Western classics from the 1970's. If you didn't get the sledgehammer blow to your racist heart by now Jeremiah DiCaprio's mixed race son gets murdered by a Cracker Hillbilly to set you straight.
Now make a historically entertaining movie , you have a book to copy from how hard can that be. The Book was rich in dialogue this movie was utterly empty.
The year is 1823 the isolated fur trappers are trying not to anger the Sioux and Arikara.The Noble tribes want your coffee pot & muskets and your job is to avoid getting butchered while walking on eggshells . The 7th Calvary wont arrive for another fifty years,the hard luck Whites want the vulnerable pelts safely floated South and aren't in a hurry to rape the captive Chiefs daughter after a drunken French frat party in the snow knowing that they could be snuffed out like a hot ember ...What?they did,sacre bleu what idiots ! ...but wait! Jedi Jeremiah DiCaprio saves her honor before they finish!
But this is the age of White guilt and you will be beat over the head if you like it or not and told to enjoy the experience as you watch Jedi Jeremiah DiCaprio fight a Bear,swim a refreshing ice cold river to clean his deep mangled wounds & flashback court Pocahontas while gutting a horse (after flying off a cliff like he was on a magical Unicorn)plus climb into the stomach sack of this poor Hoth Tauntaun mount for warmth after it splatters on the rocks bellow...all in a weeks time.
Hollywood is as empty headed as a Beaver pelt
