I love how the movie portrayed indigenous people. The way they had the actors act alert and nervous because of how Native Americans were like back then. "If there's one, there's more."
oh yea, from what i know back in those day's Indians were to be feared and like midnight said, If there's one there most definitely be a lot more and they hide real well too.
@@stevengardner3192 You especially have reason to be scared of a Comanche. The Comanches were the most feared warrior of their time, to Native Americans and Anglo-Americans alike. Because the Comanches weren't just warriors, they were conquerors. They practically ruled the American West, and the Anglo-Americans didn't take the Great Plains till the Comanche fell.
@@stevengardner3192 Very much so. The Comanches did many forms of torture, and even went as far as wiping out entire tribes and families and taking the children captive. They even killed babies and used pregnant women as target practice for their archers.
My eyebrows definitely went up when he made his first appearance... Like, "Woooooow! 😲" The fact that they all went into defense mode at the sight of ONE Comanche let u know that they were some bad muthafuckas...& although HE knew he was alone, there was no fear in his body language whatsoever.
Sista, when I saw Prey, how the Comanche Sista used wits and brute tactics to kill the Predator, I was in shock and awe and right away thought of Red Harvest. Comanche are so feared even a Predator couldn't defeat them.
@@andyanderson3776 to be fair, that predator was young and inexperienced and wounded and it still killed three of the tribes greatest hunters and warriors. Naru was great and my second favorite predator protagonist besides Dutch but she got lucky.
@@ThatBrunetteFromCali Definitely and that’s saying a lot considering how most Native American tribes as a whole all lived the warrior lifestyle, the Comanches just took that lifestyle to an extreme! So much so that even other warrior tribes feared them. Some of the best ones being the Kiowa, the Sioux and especially the Apache who everyone thought of as the big dogs until the Comanches came and rained hell upon the plains. And they even stopped the Spanish empire. Crazy fucking warrior tribe. I’m not native, but if I’d been born as one I would’ve pick the Comanches.
@@randolphkeesic9403 might both be uto aztecan languages but I hear taibo tekwapu which is undoubtedly Comanche for white people( Taibos) and language (tekwapu)
@@kevobrando95lx44 the language actually sound rather elegant considering it's one used by a tribe of utterly ruthless and powerful warriors, I find that juxtaposition to actually be very fitting. Like how latin is a beautiful language, but it was used and spoken by europe's most powerful and brutal empire of the olden days
My fav part because even though they out number and out gun Red Harvest, they're still tense af and he just rolls up not giving a fuck. Native Americans really were badass.
The fear in this. When they seen a Comanche on a horse. Was spot on. They were something to be terrified of. If their would have been more. The movies ends here. Their raids were the stuff of nightmares. Everyone feared them. It was justified. They weren't just a warning tribe. They was conquers. They raided you. You most likely died.
This movie is one of the greatest remakes of a classic, which is also a remake of another legendary classic, I have ever seen. There wasn't a single character in this film I didn't think wasn't a certifiable badass. I wanted to emulate every one of them.
Dropping the deer has special significance to me. My family (mixed white and Choctaw/Cherokee) had a ranch near Crowell, Texas. Back in the late 1880s, though they owned the land, the Comanche (many moved to reservations) still believed that the land was there's. And they would set camp on my family's land. My ancestors never told them to leave or caused them issue. What they actually did, was slaughter one of livestock and bring it out to them. As a show of respect. They accepted it. And they never once harmed my ancestors or caused them any problems. They remained away from the homestead, but still in sight. Never ventured to the home, but always let them know they were there. This was up near where Cynthia Ann Parker, the mother of Quanah Parker (the last Comanche chief), was captured. So, the presentation of a kill, and the sustenance it provided, was a show of respect. Like what Red Harvest did.
This scene is deep on different levels. The communication with Denzel character and the Comanche reminds me of the history between Africans and Indigenous tribes. The Creek Wars and Seminole Wars are examples of this which shows how close our connection is with each other.
Yeah , whenever cultures start integrating their will always be conflict ,,, being able to communicate with people is important,,, the misunderstanding is what caused such things. I hate that it happen. Trail of tears isn't far from my house. I wish it would have happened differently, many people on our and their side tried to live in harmony, but you know they weren't exactly peaceful people.
@@mikeb8013 Yes some did, but not all. There were thousands of tribes in America at one point before some were absorbed by other tribes or miscatgorized as negro or mulatto. Creek Wars are an example of this since they split Red sticks vs White sticks and went to war over this.
Denzel always has a language skill that the movies never mention until he uses it. Training day - Chinese, Man on Fire - Spanish, TM7 - Comanche and there's probably more but can't remember.
correct me if i'm wrong, the hands on his horse's body was men killed hand to hand, the circles around the horse's eyes was believed that it would give them better vision, the lines on around the horses front legs was times that he had counted coup, that is where you ride up on your enemy while he's down and you hit him with a club, or a rifle stock, or something the lines on the horse's nose i can't remember what they are, but i think it means how many settlements he's raided
Me look when you’re Native you take what you can get when it comes to seeing Indigenous on screen even if they’re not your exact people. I’m Yaqui for example and loved Red Harvest cause it was cool to see a Native be a lead in a gunslinging western type film for a change.
Before the advent of repeating weapons, the Comanches ruled the plains. Enough to send the Apache tribes running to the mountains and the Spanish retreat to their forts. All of them avoiding the plains like a plague because of the Comanches who hunted there like wolves. They are the Mongols of the West. Born and bred atop of horses. The scourge of both white and red man alike.
Question Is Red Harvest accurate for how a Comanche warrior would look? Don't get me wrong he looks badass Im just curious how accurate a representation he is
@@Chrisfragger1 I'm not bitching......I use to watch these kinds of movies with my grandpa who passed away recently he`d always point out what was accurate on the Native American's so I was curious about Red Harvest
@@mysticfire5850 Yeah... Well, most people who ask that kind of question are going to throw a fit if one line of paint is half a centimeter off from how they believe that it should be. "Representation" is just code for how can I judge this movie more harshly.
@@mysticfire5850 at least it IS closer to the true image of a native american in general compared to say the depictions in the fifties...which showed them wearing their ritual garb while raiding. Far as I know, that was an image not rly liked by the native americans, especially with how it was exploited and misused. That aside, I'm just cool with it if they at least show the native americans like they were: cunning, badass, powerful in their own right.
Cowboys and Natives weren't at the best of terms in Western times, STILL alot of racism thrown around a long with African Americans, Asians from all groups of the continent, but Native Americans were angry with us for stealing land, hustling them out, genocide, ALOT of things *I don't want to talk about it ANY further I'm getting bummed out*
Comanches are regarded as the being the best light calvary in history. Even after the Red River War, it still wasn't a good idea to be in our territory. They actually did a deadliest warrior with Comanches vs the Mongals and Comanches won. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PPOJyV81kjc.html
Taibo tekwapu means white people language. Numu tekwapu is Comanche language. Thanks mom. Aho pabi and patsi. It's crazy how well that scene played out. Denzel's asks "taibo tekwapu" and he starts speaking English. Doubtful any of our proud numunu ancestors would speak anything but numu tekwapu
4 years late but Sam: Nʉmʉnʉʉ? (Comanche?) Red Harvest: Haka ʉnha Nʉmʉ Tekwapʉ̲ (you speak Comanche?) Sam: hʉʉtʉ (little bit) Sam: Haka ʉnha Taibo Tekwapʉ̲ (you speak the white mans language?(english)) Red Harvest: hʉʉtʉ Red Harvest then says “The Elders told me my path is different” when asked where his tribe was
Always wonder why they are so afraid to the native tribe,while they had guns and everything,just like the world already known israeli scared to death to unarmed palestinian ,maybe its because they both are the real owner of the land.
They were always scared because despite what white mans history books say about white mans “advanced technology” and Natives “primitive technology” the European settlers still got their ass whooped. It wasn’t guns and warfare that won the west it was disease and starvation.
