Minervini built the sets in Montana and then let the actors live for two months
Chronology
In the winter of 1862, during the Civil War, the US Army sends a company of volunteers to patrol the unexplored territories of the West. Actors came up with dialogues and thoughts while living in the desert, imagining themselves as soldiers of the Civil War. Convicted: 1862 In winter, a detachment of volunteer soldiers was sent to protect the mountain area, we are not told where it is, we do not even know the names of the soldiers.
Everyone lacks military experience
After the regular army was disbanded, it was headed by a patriarch in the style of John Brown with a flowing beard, and his teenage sons joined the army. The soldiers are mixed, some are middle-aged, even old, most of them are in their thirties. They share knowledge and transfer skills.

Buffaloes are shot and slaughtered, the dreary landscape, the hills, the mountain meadows, the blizzard, the ending cold ration contribute to the development of a sense of existential despair. The battle is going on, we see not the enemy, but the victims of the unit. War is a thing, especially when you no longer know why you are there.
