Here is a pity

I once watched it with a friend, but the other party treated the film with a very impatient and contemptuous attitude. The reason is that it is long and not focused.
In fact, I personally see it very interestingly. This film strives to restore the traces of history, using a long and ordinary life course of a family to show everyone that era that has been destroyed and altered and cannot be retrieved.

We have seen the primitive simplicity, the infiltration of civilization, the greed and shame of mankind, and the helplessness and sighs of the times.
The history of western expansion is a history of conflicts between two civilizations. We can see the mighty and fearless pioneering spirit, and see how Western society has established proud towns in a barren wilderness. On the contrary, we can also see relatively backward. How did the Indian civilization step by step to yield, and finally decayed in the tears of bullying.
What I saw was a pity for the evil deeds of mankind, although this evil deed may be based on the original intention of a good wish.

    Thinking of the dark forest law of "Three-Body Problem", "The universe is a dark forest. Every civilization is a hunter with a gun. He must be careful. There are hunters like him sneaking everywhere in the forest. If he finds other life , can do only one thing: shoot and destroy it." The tragedy of the Indians is the original sin of developed America. The development of the United States in the 19th century laid the foundation for the great development of the 20th century. I feel that the 20th century laid the foundation for China, and the future is worth looking forward to.

    The names of the Indians are very distinctive. Of course, I especially appreciate Jacob, who saved the heart of the eagle through a duel, and how enviable the love across races is. Mixed in the middle, the big history of western development. There is also a history of love and hatred of ordinary people.
