Balkan Castevet

The overall evaluation can be made when Costner's project is totally complete, hoping that it will be able to come to light. Costner's story is an epic, a magnum opus on the western and therefore on America, on its origins and this film it is only the beginning, the introduction where you can breathe the strength of a great story and the strength of the western. The staging is excellent, there is visual strength, there is ample scope and even if you are only in front At an introduction we notice the desire to create a large fresco, a set of characters different from them, their stories, their origins. Costner immediately delivers legacies as in the film there are three very young characters who will have to face the their own lives such as the very small Sam, the young Lizze and the child Russel, each of them will end up in different groups, Lizzie in the Northern army camp together with her mother, Russel with the scalp hunters and Sam initially looked after by Mary, a prostitute, will be entrusted to a Chinese family. So there is multiculturalism, the fusion of ethnic groups but also of different social classes just like America. I found the fascist criticism of the film absurd, yes, the Apaches in the film attack and kill the settlers but first of all in the film it is explained that that territory was initially Indian and the elder of the tribe disavows these actions saying that this will mark the end of the tribe. In addition to this Costner shoots a western film with the themes of the genre and makes a fresco of American history which is made of blood and wars, of struggles for the land. Furthermore, the director rehabilitates the figure of the prostitute given that she looks after Sam, she takes him with her even if he is not her son and could cause his death, so she is “exalted” a figure of a non-noble social class and we will see the arc in the future Read all
