) Beyond the historical setting of the period, this film, entertaining and well told, is really and thoroughly a universal, timeless, feminist film, . In this movie, men are simply background-extras to propel the story, worker-bees destined solely to service the women. Women, by contrast, are strong willed inititators, mistresses of their destinies, manipulating their men, never wrong, never sorry, who deep down do not really need any men. However, it's disappointing that this film missed making a strong, biting criticism of the hideous, hypocritical, yet recurring US policy of exploiting and repressing other human races, be it Native Americans, Africans, or in this film, Chineses.
