After the ammunition ran out, the angry people stoned the soldier.
criticism
- The New York Times writes: "This is a greatly simplified, but unfortunately also static and too obvious allegory, violent and aimed at the fatal bonds of the socially outlawed."
"In the figure drawing charming, but overloaded with symbolism Westerns."
Remarks
