Dead Man's Walk (1996)
It's solid but not without flaws
I'm a Texan and as such it's hard to take the obvious mistakes made in reference to Texas geography. One minute they're supposedly on the staked plains near the Palo Duro Canyon (in the TX Panhandle) and then suddenly they're showing mountains in Southwest Texas near Big Bend National Park. Then there's the Grizzly Besr incident. At that time there wouldn't have been any more Grizzly's left in Texas where they did once range a very long time ago. With all that said, this is a good movie and enjoyable to watch. I was impressed with how the Comanches were portrayed with some very accurate depictions of Comanche horse prowess. The acting is solid. It was nice to see it was filmed in Texas in areas where I've done a lot of hiking and camping.
Waiting for the Barbarians (2019)
You don't understand us or know us, so go home
Colonialism run amuck is the point here I think. People who were forced to kneel to the imperialistic whims of other countries. The Magistrate does not how he offended the girl. That's just it though. The imperialist don't try to know the culture of the people they dominate. They therefore don't respect it or can't understand how they offend it.
