About Hostiles
- Released on December 22, 2017
In the compelling and thought-provoking movie "Hostiles," we are introduced to a diverse cast of characters, each with their own unique backgrounds and motivations. The story is led by the talented Christian Bale, who portrays Captain Joseph J. Blocker, a seasoned Army captain with a deep-seated hatred for Native Americans. Alongside him, Rosamund Pike delivers a powerful performance as Rosalee Quaid, a woman who has recently suffered a devastating loss and is struggling to find her place in the world.
The narrative of "Hostiles" takes place in the year 1892, a time when tensions between the U.S. government and Native American tribes were at an all-time high. Captain Blocker, nearing the end of his military career, is tasked with one final assignment: to ensure the safe passage of Cheyenne Chief Yellow Hawk and his family through treacherous terrain, back to their Montana reservation. This mission forces Blocker to confront his own prejudices and grapple with the harsh realities of the time period, as he is faced with the difficult task of protecting those he has spent his life fighting against.
As the journey unfolds, "Hostiles" explores themes of redemption, forgiveness, and the human capacity for change. The relationship between Blocker and Yellow Hawk evolves throughout the film, as they learn to see past their differences and find common ground. Meanwhile, Rosalee Quaid's story serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating impact of the conflict between the U.S. government and Native American tribes. Through its powerful performances and thought-provoking narrative, "Hostiles" offers a nuanced portrayal of a complex period in American history, challenging viewers to question their own beliefs and biases.
