Wind River Valley, a place name that sounds beautiful, is actually an Indian reservation, which complements the wild snow at the beginning. The final subtitle of the film: No one knows how many Aboriginal women are missing, because this missing person is not within the scope of management and protection Inside.
【1】She is a warrior.
This is a sad story. The beautiful Indian girl did not wear enough clothing to keep out the cold, ran 6 miles barefoot in the snow, and died of blood in her lungs.
If she can get a few extra clothes and an extra pair of shoes, it won't be too far to get to where her brother lives. Too bad there is no if.
There were too many accidents this night, and she was too tired.
Originally still lying in the arms of her experienced and charming white boyfriend, planning to leave the reservation and go to a beautiful country to spend the rest of her life together, this 18-year-old aboriginal adult girl entrusted her body and all her dreams at the same time. .
The dream, along with her ruptured alveoli, was mixed with blood and splattered in the white snow. In fact, it was not only her life that was broken, but also her family, but unfortunately she could no longer understand it.
The white boyfriend failed to realize her dream, and even failed to protect her and herself. He was beaten to death by indoor beasts, and his body was eaten away by wild beasts. In the end, he failed to get a whole body.
The warm night sparked a fierce battle. The alcoholic white workers provoked, beat, turned J, and threw their corpses. The harsh and monotonous life made the security guards of these drilling teams lose their rationality and bottom line.
She couldn't save her boyfriend, because she wanted to save herself first, desperate but wanted to survive, so she desperately ran in the snow, trying to run to the nearest place that could rescue herself.
6 miles ≈ 10 kilometers, while running, the cold is more than the fear. She is afraid of being chased and killed by racially discriminated white people. In the end, the earth and Baixue accepted her, and she walked very peacefully and no longer had pain.
【2】reserve not protect
This is the warning sign that flashed in Blizzard at the beginning of the film. This is a Native American reservation, not a protected area.
Reservations were the last areas where Americans expelled Indians . In the late 19th century, an American writer named Hamlyn Garland wrote of the condition of the Indians at the time: "The original masters of this continent have now been driven by white captivity." It is the reservation system (Reservation System) implemented by the U.S. government to the Indians.
The American Indian population is about 2.2 million, accounting for about 0.8% of the national population. There are 567 tribes living in 326 Indian reservations. The North American Indians are a marginalized group, so marginalized that their presence is often ignored. Indians have the lowest social status in the United States and are discriminated against the most.
The traditional agricultural, nomadic, fishing and hunting lifestyles of the Indians were destroyed under the existing land resources and economic system, which forced them to compromise with reality. They are struggling to survive in such a contradictory situation. According to statistics, anxiety, depression, antisocial, violent tendencies, alcoholism, social anxiety, etc. are common psychological problems among North American Indians.
Knowing this layer of social background, it is not difficult to understand why the tone of the whole film is low, and it feels that everyone is struggling to live in life, not living freely, and at the same time not happy.
The male protagonist, an identity hunter, has an ex-wife and son, as well as a daughter who died three years ago, and is a good friend with the girl who ran to death. Because he and his ex-wife lived together and neglected the care of his daughter, he and his wife divorced and lived in the grief of the deceased daughter all his life. He was also the first person to discover the corpse of a woman in the snow. Because of his involvement, he also helped the police find the murderer, and even avenged his daughter's friend, which was considered revenge for her daughter.
In this tribal reserve, there are only the sheriff and six police officers, who manage a huge area. Although they do their best, they cannot handle all cases, such as the death of the male protagonist's daughter. The male protagonist has lived in this tribe all his life. Although he cannot forgive, he can understand.
Because of the murder case, the female protagonist, the rookie FBI, is full of enthusiasm and is only responsible for adding chaos and promoting the development of the plot. Fortunately, with her insistence, the pursuit of the murderer was able to continue, but at a heavy price, the police force in the reserved area was completely wiped out, and the criminals in the security team of the drilling team were wiped out, because the heroine Halo actually survived the gunfight. down.
At the end of the film, my heart is bleeding, and the little people at the bottom are powerless to play, and can only grab some bright life-saving straws, even sometimes just illusory bubbles, and they have to give their lives a try.
【3】Life is fair cause it is not.
Because of the contradictions of their identities, the young people in the reservation area are confused and anxious, doing nothing, not doing the right job, taking drugs, whoring and looting, and doing all kinds of evil.
The beautiful Indian girl who died, the place where her younger brother lived that she thought she could get to was actually a den of a group of drug dealers.
The younger brother does not approve of the sister's dream, and even thinks it is a shame that she finds a white boyfriend who is the same age as her father.
While the male protagonist was investigating the case, he learned about the sporadic sister from his younger brother. He was dissatisfied with the society and living conditions. As an uncle who had watched them grow up since childhood, he gave him a hard lesson.
I am not gona stand here and tell you that life is fair cause it is not. To either of us .
I'm not going to tell you that life is fair because it's inherently unfair. It's not fair to anyone.
Fortunately, the frozen rebellious younger brother was finally able to return to the family after the tragic death of his sister, and finally saved his father who wanted to commit suicide in despair and his mother who had self-mutilated.
Life has never had a unified level for the world, and it all depends on one's own struggle and hard work.
Complaining will only make life worse, only you can change and create the future.
