In this episode I sit down with Jeff Lubrant and we talk about the 2017 movie “Hostiles”. “Hostlies” is a dark, emotional Western starring Christian Bale, Rosamund Pike, Jesse Plemons, Timothee Chalamet, Ben Foster, Jonathan Majors and Wes Studi. Set in 1892, it follows Army Captain Joseph Blocker, a hardened soldier with a deep hatred of Native Americans, who is ordered to escort a dying Cheyenne war chief and his family from New Mexico back to their tribal lands in Montana. Along the way, they are joined by a grieving widow whose family was killed in a raid, and the group faces violent attacks, harsh conditions, and old wounds from years of conflict. As the journey continues, Blocker is forced to confront his hatred and see his former enemies in a different way.
the movie is about whether people who have done terrible things to one another can still recognize each other as human—and whether forgiveness can break a cycle of hatred that revenge cannot.
This movie had many layers but none more apparent than the idea of forgiveness.
So the question I have for you is can you truly forgive someone who has done you wrong.
Can you force someone else to forgive you
Is it possible to forgive yourself and learn start over to give yourself a new future.
