作业要求看到，还挺有趣的一部老电影，在当时也算大制作了

Lana was born in a rich family and move to the frontier with her husband so she can not imagine and accept the poor environment when she first arrived. She was scared by a friendly Indian and cried. At 24 minutes, the concept between frontier women and Lana is totally different. Lana believed women should be romantic but the frontier women believe those beautiful pieces of stuff are useless. They only want things that could help their life and make them eat well and dress warmly. Therefore, before the Indian invade, Lana didn’t work because she was a kind of noble lady. The wait china is a good clue to show the value changing about her. After Indians burned their house, they went back to the ruins of their house and found the broken white china. It also means that Lana has changed her mind. She didn’t want to be that” useless” white china and really want to help Gilbert to make a living and rebuild their house. Their conservation at 35 minutes also shows this point. Edna provided them a place to live and Lana started to work. This is a part of Lana’s transform. Edna is a kind of strong women. Edna also let Lana learn to calm down and to be independent. She didn’t afraid of Indians even when they invaded her house. I think Edna influences Lana to be strong and brave. In the end, she didn’t depend on Gilt and shot an enemy. It means that she was truly accepted by the community. She transformed from a cowardly lady to a real frontier woman.
