RE: "Little Big Man" I consider one of the finest films...

..as an offbeat and compassionate take on the "American Western".
It takes a tribe of "Human Being" to turn Hollywood bias on its head - a pre-classic to a modern sensibility on the subject on revisionist Western history.
Arthur Penn made this 1970 doosie, that shows compassion for indigenous peoples - could be an allegory for missguided 20th century policies, domestic (Vietnam) and foreign (Israeli-Palestinian) conflicts.
It stepped on the establishment's toes.
I love it.
