His eyes at the end as well, when he sees Cyrus running away, and his whole party dead. Without any facial expression, Bale conveys such a consuming hatred and anger at seeing more needless death. I've watched the film at least 6 times, and this scene in particular countless times. Every time, by the end, my heart is racing and my hands are shaking. The true definition of cinema.

I always come back to this scene because of its authenticity. It’s easy to paint a picture of how cowboy era used to look like, but this was it. Real, quiet, and simple. The mood didn’t need extra drama.
The gunfight is rather silly though. You would think the guys on horseback would be smart enough not to simply sit on a horse and get into a gunfight, making them giant targets out in the open, especially when they are up against an equal number of opponents.

When I watched this movie and saw him go after Cyrus with that knife, I thought, "He's gonna scalp that trash alive," and I was really disappointed he didn't.
Wouldn’t count on it. This was, I think, the best western since Unforgiven. A masterpiece. However it barely made its budget back. If it doesn’t have superheroes or is a reboot/extension of an existing IP then nobody cares.
@@storbokki371Not for long with the amount of Bantu bioweapons roaming the streets and becoming more and more bestialized by the day. At this stage we are just circling the drain of collapse.
As a native I found this movie to be very realistic to that way of life then. The way many people acted is true to their movie characters. Bale came to far and seen to much to just walk at thus point. He's ready to defend his life for a group of people that he despised prior to making this trip. He learns that natives are human just as him by the end of this movie. Imagine what the natives been through to get to the point of prison in Arizona and have to back track to the lands where they came from. This and the Revnant are truly historic movies in authenticity.
ты видишь то чего нет, он просто выполнял приказ, он не изменил своего отношения к индейцам после этой поездки, его отношение уже было сформировано во время войны с индейцами, он их убивал не потому что ненавидел, он их убивал по приказу, а в этой поездке он их защищал поприказу, он военный выполняющий приказы. единственная сцена где он испытывает ненависть - там где он зарезал одного из сыновей старого дурака который начал эту ненужнгую бойню из-за ничего, он военный который ненавидит войну, но при этом продолжает выполнять приказы, после этого дела он уходит в отставку.
I was lucky in that my wife and I took a trip to Angel Fire, NM just as this film was getting ready to shoot. Got to meet and talk to Wes Studi at a local Hotel restaurant/lounge a few days before he started work on it and was stopped at a roadblock by a State Trooper as we were heading to a hiking location. It seems our car might've wound up in one of the shots and they had to keep that section of road clear for 30 minutes or so. We could actually see the scene (not this one) being filmed down in the valley below and ahead of us. The Trooper kept apologizing for the delay, but I told her that this was great and I was enjoying every second.
Never seen the movie, but that's gotta be one of the most realistic gunfights I've ever seen on film. Just chaos, no plot armor, just random death and panic on all sides.
They had cover, were more spread out and had the enemy's flank. They got off the first shot and it immediately took one of them down and surprised them obviously. There's no reason the dudes on horseback should've lasted as long as they did.
Great movie, instant classic; in my Top 10 of all time! Christian Bale should have definitely won an Academy Award for this role; Rosalind Pike and Wes Studi also deserving of Oscar nods. The move is also very Oscar worthy through and through. Very underrated and overlooked movie; the story line, character development, and character evolution is absolutely stunning and awe inspiring. You never saw this ending coming. I was shook!
Never realized Bale could do this....this isn't so much acting as it is real world expression of people and personalities of that time. this scene nailed it on the head....the rancher or landowner is typical of racist garbage that deserved just the end he came to for his arrogance and self confidence. Bale was bad ass.
The racist garbage landowner stole land from the Natives after his own US government committed genocide for his and others' benefit. Sounds like the "true American success story" to me. The truth of a nation's founding gets downright ugly, genocidal and downright demonic when each layer of truth is peeled back and exposed.
@@snarkleton26 The landowner in this movie just behaves like a cardboard cutout for the movie to destroy, I struggle to imagine this encounter happening in real life, he would likely just seek a legal solution to the problem instead of firing on a US Army officer. But honestly, that guy probably had a family, and two members of the expedition died in this shootout, just so some chief can be buried in the right place. Am I meant to sympathise with our protagonists here? This US Army officer under orders from the president barged on to this man's land illegally. Posse Comitatus stipulates federal troops cannot be deployed to home soil to act against American citizens, so this landowner was absolutely within his rights to tell him to leave. It's not like the people who moralise about the natives practice what they preach. I don't see you getting on a boat, no, and in fact, your type tend to be in favour of policies that invite more people to live on "their" land with us.
@@corey9746if ur gonna be racist at least say or spell their ethnic right . They aren’t indian their Sioux , Cheyenne etc . Maybe if u used this much energy to be racist to do something better u would be actually worth more then a nickel .
I keep coming back to this scene time and again for some reason. I think it's mainly the dialogue and the excellent performance of all the actors involved. Hostiles is quite possibly one of the greatest westerns ever made and it deserves more recognition. Much like American History X, the overarching theme in this film is that life is too short to hang on to hatred. I could go on, but I don't want this comment to drag on longer than it needs to.
Not as bad as today I would say. People’s minds were wired different then. I could give a long winded explanation but Il save our time for something different
Old guy was right Bale should have respected him by not going through his fields like some arrogant prick. Sorry it was his property. Just because you have a piece of paper saying you can doesn't mean you should without talking to the owner first. Those commenting on her saying old guy was the bad guy, would you feel the same if the government said you have to lose your property or add something on your property i.e. Immenent Domain? Or if you had to pay a reparation for something you and yours never did? Think about it.
@@jb7483 and yet the old guy is a retard for thinking they wouldn't start shooting, or that he and his sons would be fine. It's not like Bale's party was settling there, it was just a burial. Plus add to that the casual nature of land in the time period, it's not like the guy bought it off someone who had a lease, he just claimed land that didn't have any other whites on it at the time. Live by violent conquest and expect to die by violent conquest.
Rule #1: Never tell a woman holding a rifle in your direction that you don’t think she’s got the guts to shoot! After Rule #1, the rest doesn’t matter!
These guys remind me of that Shanghai noon quote “How do you survive out here?” Picked a fight on horseback, at close range, without any cover. Ignored the fact that even if they survived the gunfight, they would have the army hunting them. Responded to having a gun pointed at them with “you ain’t got the nerve” before promptly getting shot. Like seriously, how did this dude and his boys survive on the frontier as long as they did?
there is a reason it was called the wild west, it was quite literally wild, the sheer size of what was esentially unhabited lands for miles made it quite easy for crimes to be commited, at most the landowner would have notified the sheriff that he killed some tresspasers on his land
@spidlenexor won't really work now will it? Considering the fact the four idiots shot the women too. And also trespass? Nope they got a presidential letter signed and orders from the army. So lol good luck winning the case on this one these four idiots would be jailed. Even if they own the land it don't give them the right to talk all big "I don't care if you got papers from the president or whoever, it's my land" Well who gave you your lands? Who gave you the rights and documents so that your land is recognized within the state and law.
One of my favorite movies. I'm trying to find out what song that one lady is singing by the train tracks where a lot of people were killed it sounds like there's a power in my soul.
The Blocker at the start of the film would of started shooting the minute he backed off. But then again the Blocker at the start of the film probably wouldn't of cared about burying the chief anyway.
The best Western of all time! Better than Tombstone, True Grit, High Noon and Django Unchained. Every actor was spot on, especially Bale and Pike! The slow progression from absolute hatred to semi friendship was amazing to see and the writing on this film was near-perfect!! You're missing something if you don't watch this movie!
The one thing that bothered me is that people KNEW how to take cover, even back then. Why did they not step back behind the trees when the shooting started? WTH?
damn those script writers,they do not know what they are doing--i would send them a message and let them know they need to change the scene,retake it,that you don't like it
I didn’t even make it through this scene before I bought the movie and watched the whole thing and just came back to leave a comment. This movie right here! Omg! Was amazing!! All star cast! Perfection. I bet Kevin Costner watched this and started fighting the air!
I still like Tomestone better. Some of the best shots of the era. Everyone is running out of ammo and needs to reload, people are close enough to shove each other and let most of the shots miss.
Scott Wilson was great as Cyrus. Wilson passed away in 2018 shortly after Hostiles was released in 2017. He had an outstanding film career as one of the finest character actors in the business starting in 1967. One of his best roles was a Hershel Greene in The Walking Dead AMC series.
Am I missing something here but it looks like the guy shooting at 4:15 never gets plugged at all; everybody just forgets about him and lets him go? LOL
Maybe Bale’s best performance- you can read everything in Bale’s face, in his voice, in his body language. Didn’t say more than a few words- didn’t need to. He knew what was coming the moment Cyrus opened his mouth- and you can see that weary resignation to it in everything he does. And the ironic thing is that before all this, he would have sided with Cyrus in both word and deed. Joseph sees that, I think; hears himself in Cyrus’s bigotry and callousness, and he feels shame. He feels anger toward these men as he does towards himself. And he resigns himself to what he has to do, not just for the people in his charge but for himself. Christian Bale conveys all of this without more than a few words spoken. It is criminal this movie didn’t get more exposure, because if it had, Bale would have at least gotten a nomination for Oscar if not won outright. It is a masterclass in intensity barely chained
Buried within our peoples history are some layers few where ever taught in school, Dig into history and roots running under "The Doctrine of Discovery" and the term Terra Nullius , Indigenous speakers "Steven Newcomb" and "Mark Charles" on this topic.. The layers addressed within roots this intense film bring light to many deep issues we are struggling with today. I hope it will drive people to take a deeper reflective look at there source origins.
So think about this, a bunch of trespassers come onto your land, demand they bury someone on it, you refuse and tell them to leave, they shoot at you, whose the bad guys here?
They were there on US Army orders on the President's authority to simply bury 1 person and leave. He was respectfully informed of this, and yet he dismissed a presidential signed letter and its contents without even reading it, followed by his threatening of violence, insulted the natives in their party, then promised violent retribution upon the natives with them, despite there having been no violence (or overt threats from Walker's party) up to that point. Your narrow, simple-minded view of the scene is based in pretty modern values of private property, whereby you somehow take a character who is very clearly a hateful, violent and dishonorable man, and make him out to be some sort of righteous victim who got done wrong and was actually in the moral right. Amazing if you actually believe what you wrote, because it'd be a glaringly negative indication of the sort of beliefs and values you must hold.
...How are you going to show this Brilliant Scene and cut it in the best part when he turns around like the symbolic "Marlboro Man" .....look at it?.... He is also a "savage" & by this point he is out of steam nearly or at least tired of it - however at this point it needs to be done more then ever to whomever is not "fair" with what was "came to be" by this timeframe as it also shows him heading into the 1900's with his hat change at the end... I love how the movie shows both sides and how it worked and also judge for yourself but because one side may have "won" depending how you look at it, does that make them the "pure evil" side? Truthfully ask yourself this and LMK.....
I've never seen this film. Don't know anything of it. But I have to say, from this scene alone... I am on Cyrus' side. He seems like a prick and a racist, but essentially all he is saying is to stop trespassing. If you ignore all that and assume it was just open territory. He's still in the "right" here. He was first to threaten violence, but last to act in violence. All they were doing was burying some dead man. They escalated the conflict to violence and got EIGHT MORE people killed for what... just so they could bury someone? Was that worth it? How? What a waste of life.
it's not his land and since any land rights he thinks he has were not innate but generated by the government, the government does indeed have the right to tell him what to do with "his" land, whether a traitor like you likes it or not.
I love this film as my gran whrent to America in 1897 at age 4mouth a from England to New York and then up to Albert and then over orangen and then back to England in 1901 so I love horizon

@jefflevensailor4379 Nothing is free. Read land contracts from back then and understand how the government works. Nothing is ever free, especially from the government. Only 40% could complete the process of obtaining land. The government could also take it if it thought it could be put to better use within 5 years or if it deemed you weren't turning a profit. House or land, what's yours is yours. The old guy had the right to shoot them once they clipped his fence. In the script, he was a rancher. Laws back then, if you clipped a ranchers fence, you didn't have to warn them. Trespassing isn't like today. Back then, it could be your life. Reality is not like Hollywood. In reality, he gave btch boy Bale and his "noble" ilk a courtesy by speaking to them. When in reality, he would have just shot them. Which would have happened. If it was so cheap, they should have paid the rancher. Plentiful, you say. Guess what? It was his. That is like saying you own too big of a yard. Let's give some of it to the illegals coming from Mexico. Something tells me you would act the same.
@@jb7483 Which is all completely irrelevant when you consider the rancher’s statement, “Where we come from, natives ain’t got no rights.” There’s what is (the law at that time), and there’s how it should be. The historical record of how native Americans were treated is truly abysmal, and disgusting. It’s truly appalling how people, even today hold tight to such antiquated views of “right by conquest”. It amounts to nothing more than something as inane as, ‘Murica!
@@VinDicator-70the Aboriginals living here all gained it by conquest and they at least knew the land never really was theirs, they just lived on it like all the other animals for unlike modern humans they still knew that they were animals themselves. Modern humans think they’re somehow special.
Human history is filled with hatred and the need to dominate another. Even the natives weren't peaceful with each other. And it's not just the Americas. Take the history of every land, culture and people. None were peaceful. Either there would be infighting, or a group would attack another group. That is how the world has always been.
sorry, is your comment stupid? Who do you call "whites people"? I hate some kind of people but not because their skin or ethnie, it would be very stupid.
@@annmaryjohn3258 You're not wrong, violence and hate has existed in every culture in every era. But what I DO have a problem with is a lot of rightwing conservatives trying to act like historical revisionists, and somehow assert that the violence between native American tribes were somehow more "savage" than the violence between "civilized" Europeans/Caucasians. Like boy, have you READ medieval European warfare? You'd be skinned alive in some cases. Just for being French.
Imagine not paying attention to an executive order from your President and trying to murder officers of your own military. And then dying because of it. What a stupid reason to die.

When Christian Bale grabs his knife and stalks before he stabs him repeatedly wow. Awesome!!!
As a native I found this movie to be very realistic to that way of life then. The way many people acted is true to their movie characters. Bale came to far and seen to much to just walk at thus point. He's ready to defend his life for a group of people that he despised prior to making this trip. He learns that natives are human just as him by the end of this movie. Imagine what the natives been through to get to the point of prison in Arizona and have to back track to the lands where they came from. This and the Revnant are truly historic movies in authenticity.

ты видишь то чего нет,
он просто выполнял приказ,
он не изменил своего отношения к индейцам после этой поездки, его отношение уже было сформировано во время войны с индейцами, он их убивал не потому что ненавидел, он их убивал по приказу,
а в этой поездке он их защищал поприказу, он военный выполняющий приказы.
единственная сцена где он испытывает ненависть - там где он зарезал одного из сыновей старого дурака который начал эту ненужнгую бойню из-за ничего, он военный который ненавидит войну, но при этом продолжает выполнять приказы, после этого дела он уходит в отставку.
I was lucky in that my wife and I took a trip to Angel Fire, NM just as this film was getting ready to shoot. Got to meet and talk to Wes Studi at a local Hotel restaurant/lounge a few days before he started work on it and was stopped at a roadblock by a State Trooper as we were heading to a hiking location. It seems our car might've wound up in one of the shots and they had to keep that section of road clear for 30 minutes or so. We could actually see the scene (not this one) being filmed down in the valley below and ahead of us. The Trooper kept apologizing for the delay, but I told her that this was great and I was enjoying every second.
Hershel made a 180 for good hearted from his ancestors
Never seen the movie, but that's gotta be one of the most realistic gunfights I've ever seen on film. Just chaos, no plot armor, just random death and panic on all sides.
Really great to see the captain and chief develop during the course of the film, all while seeing such awesome country !

Bale is one of the GOATs of our time
he plays this part well with his acting but in real life he is mush
They had cover, were more spread out and had the enemy's flank. They got off the first shot and it immediately took one of them down and surprised them obviously. There's no reason the dudes on horseback should've lasted as long as they did.
Sharpshooter horsemen lets say..
you need to write the script dude and tell him he messed up,redo the scene
Tactically, i agree. Cinematically, the shootout had to live in an extended time sequence to maximize the horror of what is happening.
Written like a true firefight veteran. Veteran of watching movies that is.
1 reason. It is a movie.
Great movie, instant classic; in my Top 10 of all time! Christian Bale should have definitely won an Academy Award for this role; Rosalind Pike and
Wes Studi also deserving of Oscar nods. The move is also very Oscar worthy through and through. Very underrated and overlooked movie; the story line, character development, and character evolution is absolutely stunning and awe inspiring. You never saw this ending coming. I was shook!
Watch old Henry
Rosamund Pike
Never realized Bale could do this....this isn't so much acting as it is real world expression of people and personalities of that time. this scene nailed it on the head....the rancher or landowner is typical of racist garbage that deserved just the end he came to for his arrogance and self confidence. Bale was bad ass.
The racist garbage landowner stole land from the Natives after his own US government committed genocide for his and others' benefit. Sounds like the "true American success story" to me. The truth of a nation's founding gets downright ugly, genocidal and downright demonic when each layer of truth is peeled back and exposed.
@@snarkleton26 The landowner in this movie just behaves like a cardboard cutout for the movie to destroy, I struggle to imagine this encounter happening in real life, he would likely just seek a legal solution to the problem instead of firing on a US Army officer. But honestly, that guy probably had a family, and two members of the expedition died in this shootout, just so some chief can be buried in the right place. Am I meant to sympathise with our protagonists here?
This US Army officer under orders from the president barged on to this man's land illegally. Posse Comitatus stipulates federal troops cannot be deployed to home soil to act against American citizens, so this landowner was absolutely within his rights to tell him to leave.
It's not like the people who moralise about the natives practice what they preach. I don't see you getting on a boat, no, and in fact, your type tend to be in favour of policies that invite more people to live on "their" land with us.
I wouldn't want an injun in my ground, either.
People are really out here inferring that the landowner is an unfair caricature and then act just like him 👀
@@corey9746if ur gonna be racist at least say or spell their ethnic right . They aren’t indian their Sioux , Cheyenne etc . Maybe if u used this much energy to be racist to do something better u would be actually worth more then a nickel .
I keep coming back to this scene time and again for some reason. I think it's mainly the dialogue and the excellent performance of all the actors involved. Hostiles is quite possibly one of the greatest westerns ever made and it deserves more recognition. Much like American History X, the overarching theme in this film is that life is too short to hang on to hatred. I could go on, but I don't want this comment to drag on longer than it needs to.
The good, old times.
Can't even imagine the PTSD people of that era walked around with.

@@krishurlburt7375 No it's not. But good luck with that.
Old guy was right Bale should have respected him by not going through his fields like some arrogant prick. Sorry it was his property. Just because you have a piece of paper saying you can doesn't mean you should without talking to the owner first. Those commenting on her saying old guy was the bad guy, would you feel the same if the government said you have to lose your property or add something on your property i.e. Immenent Domain? Or if you had to pay a reparation for something you and yours never did? Think about it.
@@jb7483 and yet the old guy is a retard for thinking they wouldn't start shooting, or that he and his sons would be fine. It's not like Bale's party was settling there, it was just a burial. Plus add to that the casual nature of land in the time period, it's not like the guy bought it off someone who had a lease, he just claimed land that didn't have any other whites on it at the time. Live by violent conquest and expect to die by violent conquest.

Rule #1: Never tell a woman holding a rifle in your direction that you don’t think she’s got the guts to shoot!

This was a good movie. It was, however, too tragic and sad. Some scenes were plain hard to watch.
Kinda like life
That's what makes it so damn good.
These guys remind me of that Shanghai noon quote “How do you survive out here?”
Picked a fight on horseback, at close range, without any cover. Ignored the fact that even if they survived the gunfight, they would have the army hunting them. Responded to having a gun pointed at them with “you ain’t got the nerve” before promptly getting shot.
Like seriously, how did this dude and his boys survive on the frontier as long as they did?
there is a reason it was called the wild west, it was quite literally wild, the sheer size of what was esentially unhabited lands for miles made it quite easy for crimes to be commited, at most the landowner would have notified the sheriff that he killed some tresspasers on his land
@spidlenexor won't really work now will it? Considering the fact the four idiots shot the women too.
And also trespass? Nope they got a presidential letter signed and orders from the army.
So lol good luck winning the case on this one these four idiots would be jailed. Even if they own the land it don't give them the right to talk all big "I don't care if you got papers from the president or whoever, it's my land"
Well who gave you your lands? Who gave you the rights and documents so that your land is recognized within the state and law.
One of my favorite movies. I'm trying to find out what song that one lady is singing by the train tracks where a lot of people were killed it sounds like there's a power in my soul.
back then the world is so brutal, all those death are not worth it
The world is more brutal today, killing is done more seemlesly.
You don’t have to go far down the online rabbit hole to discover enlightenment. This world is brutality and carnage. It always has been.
Not much has changed.
Gorgeous scene
The Blocker at the start of the film would of started shooting the minute he backed off. But then again the Blocker at the start of the film probably wouldn't of cared about burying the chief anyway.
Watch this movie three times and now i’m gonna watching again! Because this movie is awesome.
Thomas was not prepared to fight, poor soldier...

This and Unforgiven are two of favorites.
The best Western of all time! Better than Tombstone, True Grit, High Noon and Django Unchained. Every actor was spot on, especially Bale and Pike! The slow progression from absolute hatred to semi friendship was amazing to see and the writing on this film was near-perfect!! You're missing something if you don't watch this movie!
This was a great western no doubt but it sounds like there are many, many westerns you haven't seen.
This movie doesn't romanticize the time, it tells it like it is, hostile
The one thing that bothered me is that people KNEW how to take cover, even back then. Why did they not step back behind the trees when the shooting started? WTH?
damn those script writers,they do not know what they are doing--i would send them a message and let them know they need to change the scene,retake it,that you don't like it
Never gets old
"Haha, you ain't gonna shoot"
"aight bet" *shoots*
Magnificent from beginning to end
I didn’t even make it through this scene before I bought the movie and watched the whole thing and just came back to leave a comment. This movie right here! Omg! Was amazing!! All star cast! Perfection. I bet Kevin Costner watched this and started fighting the air!
I still like Tomestone better. Some of the best shots of the era. Everyone is running out of ammo and needs to reload, people are close enough to shove each other and let most of the shots miss.
Scott Wilson was great as Cyrus. Wilson passed away in 2018 shortly after Hostiles was released in 2017. He had an outstanding film career as one of the finest character actors in the business starting in 1967. One of his best roles was a Hershel Greene in The Walking Dead AMC series.
Hershel
never thought u can hate him. hes a good actor.
Am I missing something here but it looks like the guy shooting at 4:15 never gets plugged at all; everybody just forgets about him and lets him go? LOL
He is shot at 4.09 then later runs behind the log, he later tries to run away then gets shot then stabbed by blocker the protagonist
the camera cuts is a bit confusing but its the same guy who gunned down the father and mother
@@MrPanduh0 If you look it's the old man land owner that he stabs. The last guy was hit early then goes behind the log...but vanishes.
Shait of a movie, honestly
Cyrus was misunderstood
outstanding scene
but unless am missing something ; Bale is seen firing 8 or 9 shots from that one revolver with no reload ?
Maybe Bale’s best performance- you can read everything in Bale’s face, in his voice, in his body language. Didn’t say more than a few words- didn’t need to. He knew what was coming the moment Cyrus opened his mouth- and you can see that weary resignation to it in everything he does. And the ironic thing is that before all this, he would have sided with Cyrus in both word and deed. Joseph sees that, I think; hears himself in Cyrus’s bigotry and callousness, and he feels shame. He feels anger toward these men as he does towards himself. And he resigns himself to what he has to do, not just for the people in his charge but for himself.
Christian Bale conveys all of this without more than a few words spoken. It is criminal this movie didn’t get more exposure, because if it had, Bale would have at least gotten a nomination for Oscar if not won outright. It is a masterclass in intensity barely chained
Great movie.
Buried within our peoples history are some layers few where ever taught in school, Dig into history and roots running under "The Doctrine of Discovery" and the term Terra Nullius , Indigenous speakers "Steven Newcomb" and "Mark Charles" on this topic.. The layers addressed within roots this intense film bring light to many deep issues we are struggling with today. I hope it will drive people to take a deeper reflective look at there source origins.
Lol you speak as if you're the only humans on earth to ever suffer, while suckling like a newborn on the very thing you claim causes it.
This was a fantastic movie
So think about this, a bunch of trespassers come onto your land, demand they bury someone on it, you refuse and tell them to leave, they shoot at you, whose the bad guys here?
noble savage horse crap
Dumbass
The guy who uses a government generated property claim to steal a people’s native land while claiming the government can’t tell him what to do
They were there on US Army orders on the President's authority to simply bury 1 person and leave. He was respectfully informed of this, and yet he dismissed a presidential signed letter and its contents without even reading it, followed by his threatening of violence, insulted the natives in their party, then promised violent retribution upon the natives with them, despite there having been no violence (or overt threats from Walker's party) up to that point.
Your narrow, simple-minded view of the scene is based in pretty modern values of private property, whereby you somehow take a character who is very clearly a hateful, violent and dishonorable man, and make him out to be some sort of righteous victim who got done wrong and was actually in the moral right.
Amazing if you actually believe what you wrote, because it'd be a glaringly negative indication of the sort of beliefs and values you must hold.
They weren't trespassing, law was on their side, so your while premise is wrong.
...How are you going to show this Brilliant Scene and cut it in the best part when he turns around like the symbolic "Marlboro Man" .....look at it?.... He is also a "savage" & by this point he is out of steam nearly or at least tired of it - however at this point it needs to be done more then ever to whomever is not "fair" with what was "came to be" by this timeframe as it also shows him heading into the 1900's with his hat change at the end... I love how the movie shows both sides and how it worked and also judge for yourself but because one side may have "won" depending how you look at it, does that make them the "pure evil" side? Truthfully ask yourself this and LMK.....
He's not "savage"....He is a HOSTILE.
All in all, some pretty good shots there.
Bad aim really..

I've never seen this film. Don't know anything of it. But I have to say, from this scene alone... I am on Cyrus' side. He seems like a prick and a racist, but essentially all he is saying is to stop trespassing.
If you ignore all that and assume it was just open territory. He's still in the "right" here. He was first to threaten violence, but last to act in violence. All they were doing was burying some dead man. They escalated the conflict to violence and got EIGHT MORE people killed for what... just so they could bury someone? Was that worth it? How?

you're right, just goes to show how stupid everyone is these days.
@jefflevensailor4379 Nothing is free. Read land contracts from back then and understand how the government works. Nothing is ever free, especially from the government. Only 40% could complete the process of obtaining land. The government could also take it if it thought it could be put to better use within 5 years or if it deemed you weren't turning a profit. House or land, what's yours is yours. The old guy had the right to shoot them once they clipped his fence. In the script, he was a rancher. Laws back then, if you clipped a ranchers fence, you didn't have to warn them. Trespassing isn't like today. Back then, it could be your life. Reality is not like Hollywood. In reality, he gave btch boy Bale and his "noble" ilk a courtesy by speaking to them. When in reality, he would have just shot them. Which would have happened. If it was so cheap, they should have paid the rancher. Plentiful, you say. Guess what? It was his. That is like saying you own too big of a yard.
