Into the West (2005)
9/10
Not bad for the Hollywood try
1 July 2005
Excuse the summary chosen, but this version of history is always ONLY so depicted how we whose grandfathers lived then, would tell you how close productions are not.

This isn't saying all wrong. It is saying, careful. "500 Nations" years back was by many tribes told where the producers could go, in their hoping inaccuracies would be aloud made into script about how the past was for tribal. It needs strong remembering how much tribal only asked "its way of life in peace", versus the perpetual problems generated by Anglos history from European ways of constantly fighting over land and power craze, turning this nation into the needless tribulations this t.v. series is daring to show.

I.e. the seen where Graham Greene's character people's tribe are victimized from a cow claimed stolen, not so, showed the garbage tribal was subject by war mongering military bias toward the first culture in this land. This isn't counting what the "drunk" translator refused to tell the bias officer causing what happened. Consider this next time you're hearing what is being translated in present news media from foreign nations speakers, unless you know the linguistics.

Into the West needs care in not portraying tribal stupid enough to get in the path of stampeding "tatunka" buffalo. This would not be the way of Lakota warriors hunting, jeopardizing other tribal members. Tribal ways do not take practicing stupidity as a virtue. Non tribal ways are their own as seen by what the descendants have done to the present century.

The gold rush scene of 2 men dying for huge gold nugget was good, in showing how greed over "plenty" for both could make people then. Amazing! They had the gold or it had them? Consider what this mineral DIDN'T mean to tribal all the way into Montezuma's empire. Only to the Spaniards.

I give Steve S. production credit where due. When it comes to tribal, truth is highest above all shown in certain scenes regarding subtitles shown. Excellent! The allowance of false amongst most Anglos may be a painful truth "cleverly" teaching the listening audience from this series, there is a choice in culture to either or not keep integrity of word.

Consider the last time you dealt with deceit and treachery supposed to benefit you. Now consider how it is portrayed to tribal in this series. Thank you
