Ok Movie

I saw this movie a few times back a while and then just watched it. First, James Stewart gets shot twice at point blank range and survives, and wants ro kill tbe people thay just shot him, joke as are most movies with violence. Second, Debra Paget was 15 years old at the start of filming. That is awfully young to be a romantic lead with a 41 year old Stewart . It, really shows how people, especially white people , their own people, that they should protect goes out their way for a cause that was achieved, or lack there of, 80 or so years early than this movie. But because people never give up on these so called causes that we have issue and problems. It was, as usual, a movie in the late 40s and through the 1950s that broached a so called cause. This cause, as I said earlier, was finished and done but they, the "Holywood" people want to use this not as a call to help the Red man but to try and parallel it, the Red man's cause, with the issues of the day, that day or days was the early 1950s. And it works because after reading a lot of reviews, from today's people, they are sympethic with the plight of a people, yet not being there and not having their whole super close family and friends wiped out. And those people, today, still talk about it and act like it is so difficult to make it in the U.S.A. today. Well, the movie, as usual, is a piece that wants to make a point, even at the expense of their own people. The issue is that the reviewers here, if in charge then, would have done the same thing , but sitting here and comfortable it is easy to pass judgment on those that were distraught and left alone in the middle of the southwest. If these reviewers were in charge of the country from the beginning there would not be a country and all of the people of the world that were being destroyed would not have a place to go for freedom. People that come to this country , like my grandparents were happy as h__l to be here and sent 4 boys to WW 2 because it was America and who cares if the enemy may be tour ancestors. They were called names by all sorts of the people in this country but knew they were the sacrifice for their children and grandchildren and so on to put a great foothold on America and not worry about where they came from but move forward and speak the dominant language instead of their own. But the reviewers are making this movie larger than it is. Because they think of others so they can get their pat on the back, but stick by your own through, not only the good but the not so good, but no matter the ill and the ill will be fixed id really, really, really wrong, then we will be one people, be one peoples and we will have a greater peace than ever before. Until then movies like these will always fuel the mind of the young to do things they normally would not do and it may have started with their parents who when they were young filled their minds. It's a nice little western, but when I watch movies it is so tiring to see what they do to a movie instead of making it entertaining. FORGET THE POINT JUST ENTERTAIN. Thanks God Bless James
