Too woke.  Highlights the genocide of Native Americans

I never wrote it's too woke.

I wrote it's too woke.  Native Americans didn't have it that bad.  People forget we brought them Christianity.  I don't want to see a movie that doesn't celebrate American history.

Also, 95 % on Rotten Tomatoes, 8.8/10 on IMBD and 9/10 on IGN, so sure, mixed reviews

I loved the book. I'm not sure if I'm willing to invest 3.5 hours into the movie.

I love the book, too.

In a separate chapter of the deplorable treatment of Native Americans, did anyone catch the first half of Ken Burns's The American Buffalo on PBS last night? It was brutally great.

Beyond sad what the 🦬 population has endured.  One of the worst genocides in history.  It doesn't bother me in the slightest when they get mad and charge douchebags that want selfles.

? The book (and I assume the movie) are very anti genocide. The woke in the US (at least on campuses and in Congress) are just the opposite.

Considering that you are calling for killing millions in another thread, you comment is redundant.

Still confused where that verdict was made

The Osage film consultant doesn't like it.
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

Hang this in The Louvre

Saw a few poor reviews and started a thread saying it's getting mixed reviews.

Then say I guess most were favorable when it has a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, 91% on Metacritic with 32 positive reviews, 3 mixed and 0 negative.  Yes, I guess most were favorable.

Fantastic

The Irishman was 95% on RT.  But other reviewers weren't so kind.  Besides Pesci the flick had some probs.

What does that have to do with this movie or your original post being wrong?

Also, The Irishman is the perfect ending to his Italian mob trilogy.  Perfectly showed the sad lives of mobsters, their families and associates.
