I have not Seen Disney's The Lone Ranger. The
Reviews of the film are far from positive ( as I expected). However, sociologically speaking, in regards to race, this film is tracking as well as any other faux empowerment, subtlety-racist (but not too subtle) film ever could. Which is to say horribly. For more on this check out the more social analytical reviews
here and
here . They have solidified for me that even in the 21st century, Hollywood is not at all interested in making films that show Native American Indians as complex characters with character developing story arcs. Unfortunately they are still regulated to the role of "sidekick", complete with amalgamating stereotypes. Bottom line, don't see this film.
