Some Bonty Hunters are taking the prisoners and stopping the Red Rock . In the beginning, there is a dubious story about what happened and what will happen there. Major and John mention Abraham Lincoln’s letter and John asks for a letter from Major. Then one wonders why Abraham Lincoln wrote him a letter. The dubious story goes. There are total dialogues in this section which I think make the film boring. And the movie seems boring. Then comes another character, Mannix, who introduces himself as the new in-charge of Red Rock. Then there would be a dialogue between Mannix and Major and another secret would be revealed that Major’s head had also cost because he had burnt 47 soldiers alive. The animosity between blacks and whites is evident in this part of the film. I found this part of the movie boring because it’s too long. They arrive at Mini Hubbardasheri where there are already some other people. All those people are going red. Everyone tells their own why they are going to the Red Rock. A huntman tells Daicy that he will hang him for his own pleasure and that is his job. This dialogue shows hatred and contempt. Up to this point it seems that not everyone believes in each other and they can kill each other for money. My next favorite scene is when Major and General talk. Because the Major and the General have come face to face in a war. The Major, with his excellent acting, tells the General the false story of his son. Great acting makes a false story come true to the general. At the same time, someone adds poison to coffee and the story takes a new turn. This twist of the story shows the great screenplay and delights the viewers. Meanwhile, the story takes another turn and Major is shot during the interrogation. The beauty of the screenplay that adds to the viewer’s interest. Then the whole story unfolds about how Daicy brother’s group comes to his rescue. Then, in the end, Daicy tries to scare Mannix to save his life, that you will be killed ۔ Because my brother’s men are coming to save me. But they hang Daicy . All the characters in the film die one by one due to hatred. I think this film is very useful for those who are interested in history. Because it has a lot to do with history. And as a media student, I loved the screenplay, the camerawork, and the lighting.
