It isn't any overt oppressive act, but it sends Jimmie Blacksmith into a rage. He declares war. Suddenly one realizes that under the surface incredibly strong currents were running silently. Jimmie Blacksmith takes an axe to seven women and children. In one of the most terrifying scenes of murder on film, axes slowly travel through the air. One is caught completely by surprise at the horror of it, the incongruous meeting...
