I definitely have to agree with Amanda's point that all of the major Native American characters in the film are perfectly good or completely bad. In fact, the only morally ambiguous characters in the entire film are Duncan and Col. Munro! The Cora/Hawkeye love story, undoubtedly added to attract viewers, sometimes seems like comic relief. Although I like the film, I recognize that it has numerous flaws. Someone should have told the costume department that Daniel Day Lewis looked like he came straight off the cover of a romance novel, and not just in his shirtless scene. - Sarah Richardson | I definitely have to agree with Amanda's point that all of the major Native American characters in the film are perfectly good or completely bad.

| + | The character of Mogwa was very interesting to me when I watched this movie. The movie portrays him as a monstrous savage and a villian, but if you actually pay attention to what he says about what happened to him how could one not feel just a little bit sympathetic for him. He obviously had some serious justifications for his rage although the movie focuses so much on his violence that he can be portrayed as just another bad guy. What really ends up striking me with this movie is how certain groups of people are glorified and others are condemned. -Jonathan Bell | ||
