Then, in another bit of vapid/cheezy/cringy symbolism, Charles Bronson spends the rest of the movie dressed in a red shirt under a white coat.
But the most telling parts are the first and last scenes. The first shot is the woman walking in front of two slaves carrying water, then the very last shot is the woman serving water to hordes of mostly Asian and black workers, until she is totally surrounded and eventually disappears.

You have to remember the movie was written by a bunch of Italian Socialists, eager to retcon American history, who probably had a limited understanding of the settling of the West in the first place.

I'm not even making a joke. You have a problem. Seek Help.
