Magnificent Seven (2016)

Native Film Talk

This 2016 movie directed by Antoine Fuqua, better than most remakes. Frankly we're exhausted with remakes at this point. So it's refreshing to see one that comes out that's unique but also just a good stand alone movie. Thank god there isn't going to be a sequel too, can't stand it when remakes go and remake it but also extend the universe they created.

This movie brought us Martin Sensmeier! This was his breakout film and he went on to have roles in West World, The Liberator, and Wind River! He's a hell of an actor that did a killer job in this movie.

While some stuff was problematic in this, overall the Native representation is better than it has been. So I recommend checking this one out. Listen to me discuss the positives, negatives, and also why I believe Jonathan Joss's character looks like he's straight out of an Edward Curtis photograph.
