With Christian Bale's upcoming American Western film 'Hostiles' releasing in India on February 16, 2018, it is impressive how much attention and depth has gone into the making of the movie. To achieve a truthfulness in the representation of the Native American characters, Cooper worked with acclaimed filmmaker Chris Eyre and the academic Dr. Joely Proudfit.
"The biggest request that Scott and Christian had is that we, as Cheyenne consultants, get it right," says Eyre. "To hear the language spoken in the right dialect and in a respectful way by Christian and Wes and Rosamund, is something great to see on screen. It's just a victory that millions of people will get to hear this rare language" he continues.
Chief Phillip Whiteman, Cheyenne consultant, worked closely with Bale, who at first struggled mightily to get the words out. "It's bloody difficult," Bale laughs, "but it's wonderful. Speaking the language correctly is also allowing me to understand a bit of the Cheyenne belief system. I've been so surprised because it seems impossible but there's such a natural flow to it."
