Review of The Bygone

The Bygone (2019)
1/10
Political correctness garbage masquerading as a western.

Warning: Spoilers
Absolute zero. From the opening credits, declaring that there was no sexual violence in America before Europeans brought it with them - I mean how stupid can someone be? - to the bitter - and ridiculous - end.

The protagonist is typically a sickly, pale, skinny white male with less testosterone than a rock, a sniveling little man-child, always getting beaten or helped out by others, with zero strengths or smarts, just a big ol' moral compass, telling others what to do with no idea how to actually do it.

The plot is just as dumb; the aforementioned genius steals a prostitute from her whorehouse and lo and behold, her pimp wants her back - and he does get her with no effort or feeling, the white knight is just that useless. What happens next is just as strenuous to the viewer's grip on reality and hardly entertaining. When they finally introduce the oil tycoon = racist serial killer arc it's so over the top it's hilarious and surreal.

This movie checks all boxes of cultural decline and alienation from truth. There's something stupid or harmful being spat in literally every other sentence. The fact that they seem so noticeable may detract from the very real danger of being so permeated by lies you'll stop registering them. Your mind is a neural network; don't train it with garbage.
