in the characters lives. That is the power of the acting and the length. You get the horror of what is going on in the long term that way. And the love story that is the prism through which all is seen. Not your typical movie. It was a informative and horrifying experience. You get the metaphor of indigenous people living through trust and betrayal in all their relations with white people.
