Hostiles (2017) - Cheyenne Burial Scene

Hostiles is low key one of the best movies of the 2010s and this is probably the best scene where everything comes to a head. Scott Cooper and Christian Bale team up again for this modern western set in 1892.

I always come back to this scene because of its authenticity. It’s easy to paint a picture of how cowboy era used to look like, but this was it. Real, quiet, and simple. The mood didn’t need extra drama.

The gunfight is rather silly though. You would think the guys on horseback would be smart enough not to simply sit on a horse and get into a gunfight, making them giant targets out in the open, especially when they are up against an equal number of opponents.

His eyes at the end as well, when he sees Cyrus running away, and his whole party dead. Without any facial expression, Bale conveys such a consuming hatred and anger at seeing more needless death. I've watched the film at least 6 times, and this scene in particular countless times. Every time, by the end, my heart is racing and my hands are shaking. The true definition of cinema.

[@wheeliebin18]

I always thought that this was one of Bale's best performances. His intensity is palpable and his presence in every scene is just electric.

[@arnoldjanikowski7122]

he's one of best ever. in the first act when he walked out of the fort with his revolver when against his will was ordered to take them on this journey that primal yell of rage and frustration and after this battle the traumatized eyes of chaos when he turns around its just amazing the emotion and realness he portrays. i would absolutely love it if they could show joe blockers earlier days of battles against the natives and when chief yellow hawk was in his prime filling slop buckets.

The racist garbage landowner stole land from the Natives after his own US government committed genocide for his and others' benefit. Sounds like the "true American success story" to me.

But honestly, that guy probably had a family, and two members of the expedition died in this shootout, just so some chief can be buried in the right place. Am I meant to sympathise with our protagonists here? This US Army officer under orders from the president barged on to this man's land illegally. Posse Comitatus stipulates federal troops cannot be deployed to home soil to act against American citizens, so this landowner was absolutely within his rights to tell him to leave.

He learns that natives are human just as him by the end of this movie.

He was first to threaten violence, but last to act in violence. All they were doing was burying some dead man. They escalated the conflict to violence and got EIGHT MORE people killed for what... just so they could bury someone? Was that worth it? How? What a waste of life.

The move is also very Oscar worthy through and through. Very underrated and overlooked movie; the story line, character development, and character evolution is absolutely stunning and awe inspiring. You never saw this ending coming. I was shook!

...How are you going to show this Brilliant Scene and cut it in the best part when he turns around like the symbolic "Marlboro Man" .....look at it?.... He is also a "savage" & by this point he is out of steam nearly or at least tired of it - however at this point it needs to be done more then ever to whomever is not "fair" with what was "came to be" by this timeframe as it also shows him heading into the 1900's with his hat change at the end... I love how the movie shows both sides and how it worked and also judge for yourself but because one side may have "won" depending how you look at it, does that make them the "pure evil" side? Truthfully ask yourself this and LMK.....

Good for Hollywood but like the "Earn this" last line in SAVING PRIVATE RYAN---I saw action in four decades, no one every guilt trips you when they are bleeding out, and a guy dying right next to you at war talks about his wife and kids, if he's married, or his girlfriend, otherwise, he never says anything as egotistical, prideful and just plain damn wrong as "Earn this"---this is not realistic at all. Bale is playing a very experienced combat commander. He has survived at war for more than one decade in all kinds of terrain. He would never stand in the open like this and not use the cover of the trees, to begin with. Neither would his comrade. They would first, and very quickly, get everyone behind trees with their bellies on the ground. And Bale would next do what we do, us combat vets, when we ANTICIPATE combat: Shoulder a rifle and keep at least one sidearm on a hip or shoulder holster, or on a quick-draw holster just above the waist (Doc Holliday style). Plus, have at least one hold-out piece strapped to either leg, just above the ankle. You can walk and chew gum at the same time, which is to say, you can talk to the damn fool rancher with your own rifle shouldered, at the same time. A rifle on your shoulder says that you mean business, without having to say one word. You don't wait for trouble to fall on you like a landslide from out of nowhere. You stay ten steps ahead of the enemy by THINKING ten steps ahead of the enemy, in the first place. And go loaded for bear, and then some. And those rifles would've been Winchesters, with plenty of ammo. Shoot to kill.

Am I missing something here but it looks like the guy shooting at 4:15 never gets plugged at all; everybody just forgets about him and lets him go? LOL

[@Slim_Ch4rles]

They were there on US Army orders on the President's authority to simply bury 1 person and leave. He was respectfully informed of this, and yet he dismissed a presidential signed letter and its contents without even reading it, followed by his threatening of violence, insulted the natives in their party, then promised violent retribution upon the natives with them, despite there having been no violence (or overt threats from Walker's party) up to that point. Your narrow, simple-minded view of the scene is based in pretty modern values of private property, whereby you somehow take a character who is very clearly a hateful, violent and dishonorable man, and make him out to be some sort of righteous victim who got done wrong and was actually in the moral right. Amazing if you actually believe what you wrote, because it'd be a glaringly negative indication of the sort of beliefs and values you must hold.

it's not his land and since any land rights he thinks he has were not innate but generated by the government, the government does indeed have the right to tell him what to do with "his" land, whether a traitor like you likes it or not.

[@JaimeGirl]

Maybe Bale’s best performance- you can read everything in Bale’s face, in his voice, in his body language. Didn’t say more than a few words- didn’t need to. He knew what was coming the moment Cyrus opened his mouth- and you can see that weary resignation to it in everything he does. And the ironic thing is that before all this, he would have sided with Cyrus in both word and deed. Joseph sees that, I think; hears himself in Cyrus’s bigotry and callousness, and he feels shame. He feels anger toward these men as he does towards himself. And he resigns himself to what he has to do, not just for the people in his charge but for himself. Christian Bale conveys all of this without more than a few words spoken. It is criminal this movie didn’t get more exposure, because if it had, Bale would have at least gotten a nomination for Oscar if not won outright. It is a masterclass in intensity barely chained

[@jb7483]

Old guy was right Bale should have respected him by not going through his fields like some arrogant prick. Sorry it was his property. Just because you have a piece of paper saying you can doesn't mean you should without talking to the owner first. Those commenting on here saying old guy was the bad guy, would you feel the same if the government said you have to lose your property or add something on your property i.e. Immenent Domain? Or if you had to pay a reparation for something you and yours never did? Think about it. Doesnt matter 5ft or an acre whats yours is yours.

[@DeezNuggz]

you're right, just goes to show how stupid everyone is these days.

[@jb7483]

@jefflevensailor4379 Nothing is free. Read land contracts from back then and understand how the government works. Nothing is ever free, especially from the government. Only 40% could complete the process of obtaining land. The government could also take it if it thought it could be put to better use within 5 years or if it deemed you weren't turning a profit. House or land, what's yours is yours. The old guy had the right to shoot them once they clipped his fence. In the script, he was a rancher. Laws back then, if you clipped a ranchers fence, you didn't have to warn them. Trespassing isn't like today. Back then, it could be your life. Reality is not like Hollywood. In reality, he gave btch boy Bale and his "noble" ilk a courtesy by speaking to them. When in reality, he would have just shot them. Which would have happened. If it was so cheap, they should have paid the rancher. Plentiful, you say. Guess what? It was his. That is like saying you own too big of a yard. Let's give some of it to the illegals coming from Mexico. Something tells me you would act the same.
