Moran explains why he’s back - Series of transitions that show the carnage caused by

: What do the ‘Wild Mob’ hope to achieve? In the movie "High Ground," the 'Wild Mob' is a gang of Indigenous warriors who are burning white settlements, with Baywara suspected of being their leader. This action by the Wild Mob seems to be part of a broader resistance against the backdrop of colonial violence and retribution following a massacre that occurred in the film's narrative. The mob's actions reflect the broader themes of the film which deal with the clash between Indigenous people and colonial forces, and it's part of the narrative's exploration of these historical tensions

John preaching

Welcome, what sorrow for you who buy up house after house and field after field until everyone is evicted and you live alone
in the land.
13: Reflect on John’s sermon and its relevance to indigenous dispossession. What does the film suggest about the role of missionaries?
we can infer a significant commentary on indigenous dispossession. On one hand, missionaries like John may have sought to provide spiritual guidance and support to indigenous communities. On the other hand, the presence and actions of missionaries are often intertwined with colonial efforts that led to the dispossession and cultural disruption of indigenous peoples. The film might be using John's character to explore these ambiguities and the impact of missionary work on indigenous societies.

Moran talking
Mid-shot of Moran against backdrop of bark hut
Travis has no sense of duty, no sense of loyalty
16: What does Moran understand by the terms duty and loyalty? Moran's concept of duty might be rooted in the colonial imperative to expand European control and influence.
