Well for one, it's historically inaccurate. The Custer's fight lasted about 5 minutes.

Second, it's too dramatic. Massacres are short and bloody. This was rather warm and inviting.

Lastly, I wouldnt use music from another movie that very popular and is much better than this.

@lojafan It's all I had to work with at the time. Show me yours when its uploaded.

well done

[CrystalHunter1989]

@lapere Thanks.

[lojafan]

This is the last thing I would do. Much better one can be made.

[CrystalHunter1989]

@lojafan When you make one, let me know.

The Sioux action at Little Bighorn was beautifully done. Custer and his sons of bitches got all that they deserved.

[mgWhitewolf]

also there was alot of things that coulve saved his life his guns were single shot, crook meet warriors before,his officers just sat arund and custer couldve listened to his scouts but he got what he derserved

[mgWhitewolf]

Custer also cheated on his wife was a rapist a liar a murder and a cheat

[mgWhitewolf]

back then when a natve killed a white man they called it a massecre and unleashed the whole army but when an entire village was killed no one cared

[JamesBayCree97]

@hectorbolshevik Fuck yeah they did.

Very well put together video, But I would just like to point out one thing... There were over 5 tribes in the Sioux alliance, and there was many Crow Scouts that fought on both sides. Be that Scouts for the 7th Cavalry, or Resistance in the Indian Alliance

[punkcommunisto117]

@lojafan The Custer's Last STAND lasted for hours on end. I am the 4th generation grandson of one of the Indians who took part in this. I should know...

Also, Why is it that a fictional movie, thought up by a bunch of rich dudes, should be better than a Historical happening? Get your shit together.

@williamcarter1993 yes it is

[williamcarter1993]

@happyfeetful it's hatred like that that fuels more hatred. Bad as it was, it is in the past now.

[williamcarter1993]

@hectorbolshevik they weren't all sons of bitches. Most of them were just regular men joining the army for adventure or financial gain and went and fought who they were told. Granted, you did have Indian-haters, but that was like everywhere, not everyone was like that or cared

Being 1/16 cherokee it was awful on the outcome of the battle but Custer knew his faith cause the Cheyennes already told him if u hunt us down again we will promise ur death plus think about it about if u was a native American back I'm those days wouldn't u do the same thing that they did I'm mean it was there land and back then Americans where greedy and we still r today I would love to take a week and live like the sioux did back then
