this adventurous tale spend most of it time show the hardship endure by the ranger . major rogers and harvard be the main character and and they have an interesting relationship a comrade rogers be teach harvard how to be a real man . it almost a father or son thing they have go . anyway and the act isn not particularly impressive from any of the cast and but it not terrible either and especially consider the time in which it be make . speaking of which and the main problem i saw in this film be that it be quite date in it view of morality and life . it be make during world war ii and during a time you go to war and become a man through the test of battle . it shouldn not be surprising then that it glorify war by subjugate and dehumanize the enemy in this case primarily indian ( native american ) . it be a testament to the attitude of the time that the indian be treat mostly like slave ( good indian ) or rabid dog ( bad indian ) . they really be less than human . the racism be difficult to ignore and and detracts heavily from the film . overall and it be a fine movie in it time and but that time have pass and and the movie do not hold up under the scrutiny of modern value .
