I think the clash between tragedy and comic relief and tough guy 'look at the size of my gun' jarred a little.<br />I think we were supposed to see Williamson in a certain light with his obsession with a killing device- and it's size, but it didn't work for me in that way.<br />You will no dubt have gathered that I usualy pretty much of a politicaly Liberal person.. but... something with this one felt a bit like being beaten over the head with it. When the native person suffers a wrong, his revenge is noble,, meaningful and correct.. but Williamson's revenge (Emphasised by his use of the silly big gun)is portryed as vindictive and laughable.(Mind you, he actually gets to make that point himself once)<br />RayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
