This was an excellent movie. It was very well made and did a great job of telling the story of how terrible the Native American people were treated by the white man. It draws you in and keeps your interest, while also painful to watch.
It was very interesting to say the least. I think Hollywood took a stab at getting the story right but failed again. It depends on how you want to see the story. From Sitting Bulls side or the US Govt. The US Cavalry tried to make out that Sitting Bull was lying. And the movie did not try hard enough to show that he wasn't. Also NO ONE knows how the Massacre started at wounded knee but somehow Hollywood tries again and again to make it look like a simple accident because one of the Sioux was deaf. I can tell you personally that that version of the story is fictional. The Sioux themselves don't know how it started. So Hollywood needs to knock that off. They have told that lie in three different movies so far and no matter how many times you tell it, it will still be a lie.
