He humorously mentioned, &#8220;When no one wanted to make the first one, I got the bright \u200cidea to make four. So I don&#8217;t know \u2063what&#8217;s wrong with me.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Costner explained,\u2063 &#8220;I wanted it to step\u2063 away from what we usually see in Westerns where there&#8217;s a town \u2063that&#8217;s already there. No one knows how [the town] came to be. There&#8217;s a guy \u2063who comes in off the horizon,\u2062 if you \u2064will.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He emphasized the desire to move\u200b away from the \u2063clich\u00e9 of the hero defeating a foolish opponent, stating, &#8220;Too often, it&#8217;s just a convenience for the hero guy to knock down a dumb guy.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Exploring Historical Context<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Costner also addressed the sensitive topic of white settlers\u2063 encountering \u200cIndigenous people as they ventured West.\u200d He expressed \u2062a desire to portray the reality of what happened, acknowledging the injustices while recognizing the courage and resourcefulness of\u2063 his ancestors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He stated, &#8220;It&#8217;s \u200djust a movie that\u200b shows the clash of cultures. It&#8217;s our history. I love it. I can enjoy watching a movie like this if \u200bI feel\u200b like I can see myself in it, and I tried really hard for that to happen.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Costner urged viewers to consider the actions of the past within the context of the time, cautioning against \u200c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lara-trump-says-crt-teaches-kids-to-judge-people-on-the-color-of-their-skin\/\" title=\"Lara Trump says CRT teaches kids to judge people on the color of their skin\">judging people based<\/a> on today&#8217;s sensibilities. He highlighted the dramatic nature of resolving \u2064conflicts without the aid of lawyers or agents, and how strangers were viewed with suspicion in the past.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In conclusion, Costner reflected on the settlement of the country and the impact it had on Native Americans, stating, &#8220;And when they tried to look at their wife who \u200casked, &#8216;Why are we going out here?&#8217; The man simply said, &#8216;We&#8217;re going to be luckier than that.&#8217; And that&#8217;s how this country got settled and the American native Indians were crushed under this movement.
