It’s like how most people think of Putin.

Costner sucks so hard. Walking bland.

Luckily this looks like white savior western, and the timing as awful for that. Hopefully it ends his career.

Bill Durham gets him a pass from me.

he is a good actor and he got better with age. And i dont think the timing is awful for a white savior movie at all...

I havent seen the trailer tough.

I'm not sure Trag knows what a white savior movie is.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

His acting and overall career is just so ....milquetoast......to actually hate him feels rather personal. Total indifference feels more healthy.

Yeah but look who you’re talking to

[BurtReynolds]

I'm not sure Trag knows what a white savior movie is.

He’s saving his pretty blonde girls from bows and arrows, and seems to be partnering with some “good” Indians along the way, what am missing?

Usually involves the hero "going native" and helping the oppressed minority overcome the evil white villains, or helping them in some other way that they couldn't help themselves. Avatar, Dances With Wolves, Hostiles, Dangerous Minds. Even The Creator is basically a white savior movie, though the lead is black.

I couldn't really tell what was going on from the trailer.

a black savior movie

The Last Samurai, The Matrix

The Last Samurai is actually a great example of a movie that appears to be a white savior narrative but really isn't

how so? is it because they ultimately fail, although heroically?

I can't remember anything about it, but I thought it was ok.

i never saw The Last Samurai. Should I watch it?

it feels cheap in my memory in the way Braveheart does.. like a teenage boy's war-hero epic fantasy. you might like it
