What do you mean?

In the movie who were the real Hostiles?

[–] NukeDude (796) 7 years ago

The two main characters, Blocker and Chief Yellow Hawk, were the hostiles.

Each of them represented a side of the warring factions of the era...the US Army (representing the US Government and its Manifest Destiny policy) and the Indians (representing all indigenous peoples), in general.

Ah yes. Blocker was a big ol baddy

I think the movie poster said "we are all hostiles".

Well, that may be true, and funny, but I don't think THIS movie says that.

I think it's closer to "Women good, Indians good, white men bad but can be semi-saved."
