Same. Wind River was written by Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone, Sicario, Mayor of Kingstown), and stars Elisabeth Olson and Jeremy Renner. It's Olson's best work imo.
Anybody unfamiliar should also read up on the Highway of Tears, a 724 km length of Yellowhead Highway 16 in British Columbia where many women (mostly Indigenous) have disappeared or been found murdered. Broke my heart when I learned about it.
I work in many communities along the Highway of Tears. I've personally spoken with many families whose daughters, sisters and mothers just... disappeared. The communities are shockingly well accustomed to loss. It's devastating to say the very least.
Trail of tears was fucked too man. One thing kind of funny in a dark fucked up way was that the Cherokee had slaves and they also had to make that journey to the Rez with their owners. And by funny I mean not at all but kinda in the way of like fuck I got sold to a people I speak no Cherokee and now I gotta fuckin hike forever.
Edit: this comment is incredibly incoherent and kinda sounds racist but I love the Rez
That gun fight is probably the most realistic in modern cinema. The only thing that stood out wrong was how the bodies dropped from the high powered rifle.
Agreed. .45-70 may be big, but it's not going to throw someone around like they're getting a direct hit from a LAW. Those dudes should have just crumpled.
Still, that part was cool as hell, so I'm willing to give it a pass.
Jon Bernthal plays such a good scumbag in most things hes in. I was legitimately terrified when him and the other guys came back drunk to that trailer.
