Kevin Costner discusses about Native American depiction in Horizon
Kevin Costner shares his views on Native Americans in his new movie
Kevin Costner has recently opened up about Native American depiction in his new movie, Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1.
Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Kevin said, “I'm just so tired of everybody trying to be so delicate about things.”
“The Native Americans were pissed. I don't feel like I have to [hold someone's hand],” remarked the Yellowstone actor,
Kevin told the outlet, “Oh my God, here we go again. Indians are the bad guys.' Of course, they're not the bad guys. But if you're going to be limited, if people aren't willing to watch how something unfolds, I don't know what to say.”
The Bodyguard star revealed that he wanted to show the trouble between tribes that arose due to Westward expansion.
“That was brought about because of those tents [of settlers],” continued the 69-year-old.
Kevin mentioned, “Those people can't cross the river there, so they have to go to the left, or they have to go to the right, and it brings in that contact with other tribes.”
Reflecting on the plotline, the Waterworld actor pointed out, “I'm not interested in spoon-feeding people.”
“The reality is it was one tent too many, and the [Apache] went down there, and they tried to wipe the [settlers] out,” he remarked.
Kevin added, “Their anger is they're not able to hunt. They have to go and interact with tribes when they had long ago settled those issues.”
