    To share the same bed with someone you make children with, while at the same killing her family slowly one by one for that money is disgusting. The stupid American Government didn't help, thinking they were not competent enough to handle their own money.

This monstrous character trait is coached into Ernest who ends up becoming more of an active trampler of truth by ways of terrorism and cultural invasion.

      The length of the movie and the leisurely pace allows the viewer time to change opinions of the characters as the characters change themselves. For me in the theatre, I was constantly adjusting - “Is this guy bad? How bad?” Almost all of the white characters have to weigh their conscience vs “that’s a lot of money.” Some don’t have much of a problem with it. There are others who die. I think Ernest actually lies to himself.

    One of the most disturbing cinematic moments is when, after the house bombing happened, Bill Smith is seen alive but severely maimed and bloodied, screaming, and begging to be mercy killed. The real story I heard was that he was kept alive on morphine for 4 days before he actually died.

      That’s accurate. He died days later in hospital. More disturbing to me is that their servant Nellie was blown to pieces but hardly mentioned in the reports. For that matter, Lily Gladstone has revealed that she broke down while researching the court documents of that case when she noticed it only mentioned Bill Smith with no mention of Rita.

      I think he was delusional enough to truly believe he was their friend. Dissociation is strong. Case in point: my ancestors were slave owners. My grandmother (b. 1901) was the granddaughter of the last one to own slaves; she literally probably sat on his knee as a child. She told me (truly believing what she was saying) that “our people” stayed after Emancipation because “we” had treated them so well. Even as a 16 year old I could smell the BS and critically think about what few options the freed people would have had for survival otherwise and as I’ve grown up and studied it’s clear that the entire infrastructure was quickly set up following the Civil War to remove as many alternatives to servitude and independence as possible.
      It’s frighteningly easy to conveniently paint a narrative that flies in the face of facts.

      I live in Creek County and know descendants of Henry Roan (Roanhorse) so I tried to imagine it’s being my grandfather being treated all those ways. I cannot imagine the sadness, anger (largely internalized), sense of futility as MMIW/MMIP continues to this day, sense of relief for the telling, and sense of pride for the survival and resiliency and even thriving of a culture and language. My deep hope is that we’re all as an integrated community now turning the corner closer to appreciation and mutual respect and justice. A girl can hope…

    One of the best pieces of advice I've heard when learning history is to put yourself in the perspective of the villainous, the evil, the perpetrators. Don't assume you'd be the outstanding heroic figure. It's much more likely that you're the villain. (Even if that means you're the good guy who stands by silently, doing nothing.) If you can't look at it like that, you'll never be able to prevent it when the situation arises.

      You make a great point; throughout the course of the film I badly wanted to believe that I would have been a stand up human and somehow stood up for what is right and just. Realistically, I'm not so sure that would have been the case, given the different types of programming we're all under.
      In many cases, I think that people may not necessarily contribute to such atrocities directly, but will most likely just remain quiet so that they can stay out of the line of fire.
      Thanks for putting that out there to be examined.. And hopefully....corrected in some manner.

      I know it sounds weird. But I know why the ending might seem abrupt and some people have croqueted the movie for it.
      Alot of things have changed.. but alot has stayed the same. There are still issues with keeping Native kids in Highschool and going forward. Mental health is weird. The Rez is slowly changing but still has its ghosts. And there is encouragement over outside marriages still due to the fear of overlapping native genes. And the fear of us going off the deep end due to the deaths of Jerry Shaw, Bill Joseph Hickey, Janet Price, Mae and Sonny, and so many others. Either old, sickly, or addicted.

      What we reap is based upon the organization of our societies, and the values we practice. How we consider the stranger, and the non-conformist.

    I wish you'd cover HBO's "Rome" which was unfortunately cancelled after 2 seasons when it was supposed to go for 5 as an entire video, not a character alone. While the characters don't come off as evil on first glance; when you realize Titus Pullo, the guy who killed a man just for liking the same woman as he did with his bare hands, raped women as spoils of war during the Gallic wars (or at least is likely to have done so as Vorenus hinted), bit a dude's tongue off and kept him in a small cage for months if not years around to "keep people from being dishonest", and assisted in the 2nd Triumvirate's massive bloodbath that was the proscriptions and killed Cicero with no mercy is probably the most likeable dude in the entire show, you realize just how monstrous the other characters really are.
    Also, maybe an episode on Biff Tannen and his family? I know, he's not that interesting of a villain but damn he's so iconic.

    History was never meant to be easy to look at for humanity is capable of great good and horrifying evil and that is why we must look at it, study it and learn from it for we must make sure that we do not repeat the dark deeds of our ancestors.
    Might I suggest these picks:
    -Handsome Jack from Borderlands.
    -NFFA from the Purge trilogy.
    -Obadiah Hakeswill from Sharpe.

    Incredible video.
    Loved the film, it portrays the scariest kind of evil, entire comunities colaborating directly or indirectly in group assassinantion, even your family wants you dead.
    After the movie i felt shame and disgust, especialy at the goverment.
    Thank you for covering this.

    I purchased the film today and viewed it before finding this video. As a result, I cried not from being saddened per se, but out of anger! Scorcerse proved his brilliance with this masterpiece. I was mystified by Molly's dedication to her husband despite the fact he was poisoning her with tainted insulin injections that made my blood boil. Yet, we the audience were privy to facts unknown to her. Only too late did she realize the possibility of his involvement. However, her sweet nature made it too hard to wrap her mind around his culpability. I dreaded the possibility she was dead before the agent of the FBI seized her to be hospitalized and I was surprised she survived. She lost one of her daughters due to this reign of terror and as far as I'm concerned, everyone involved should hang. However, they didn't. They were entitled!
    They say life itself causes one to become hardened with age. Yet, it's the opposite with me. In my youth, these events seemed horrid but could be easily forgotten due to my short attention span and commitments. Yet, today after many decades of aging, news reports of evil deeds make me cringe! The ironic aspect is that I love people but I detest mankind for its evil tendencies. And every time I hear of a terrible crime, especially on children, a small portion of me dies. We were sick then as we are now and it's getting worse for our children and their future. The sad fact is, that too many people believe we are witnessing progress when in fact we are not. Only when certain artists, poets, storytellers, songwriters, and craftsmen remind us to "feel and aspire" to the true human potential, as Mr. Scorcerse aptly demonstrated, we can sense the true difference between right and wrong and how we deviate from it.

    The big problem for me after watching the movie was Mollie, or at least the representation it gave her, specifically that she could not discern that her husband and his uncle had nefarious intentions towards her family and her people. It's like she had no suspicions, was blinded by "love" until it was laid out for her. She couldn't have been that dense, emotionally, spiritually, or otherwise.

I think you'd love it, it has some all time phenomenal villians in each season as it is an anthology show. Some are as evil as it gets, others are more all over the place & somewhat redeemable. Malvo (S1), Mike & Hanzee (S2), Varga (S3), and Roy (S5) would all lead to fantastic videos on their own imo

    I would like to suggest a villain: Angela, from Lobotomy Corporation and Library of Ruina. The setting for the first game is a facility that draws energy from abnormal entities, and Angela is the assistant to the manager. You could probably cover the manager and the setting of The City as villains as well. My suspicion is that The City is an organism, with humans and abnormalities being cells that make it up.
