'Little Big Man'

A really cool film and probably my favorite Dustin Hoffman film.

It's a beautifully made satire about American history, the treatment of the Native Americans, the U.S. miliary machine and, in turn, the Vietnam War, which was still waging in southeast Asia.

Although it's meant to have humorous side to it with a satirical undertone, at the end of the film you feel oddly put out. It's extremely dark and unsettling. The humor is just a distant memory. This is most apparent during the battle of Washita, where a smile doesn't cross anyone's face throughout the whole film. In fact, the film's spirit was broken at that moment.

It does co-star the extremely beautiful Faye Dunaway, which is always good.
