The surrender/massacre scene - Is it Josey's character that causes all the men to be massacred? Because he refused to surrender. And when he comes riding out of the trees, that's when the Union opens fire. It's not clear whether the Union men had already intended to shoot everybody.
Sondra Locke's character - is she supposed to be mentally challenged? She appears as a grown woman, but acts like a child.

So actress Sondra Locke just died (actually a while ago but it was just announced today). If you haven’t heard of her, she was Clint Eastwood’s partner for the longest time, until he dumped her (changed the locks and threw her stuff out) and she sued him (twice). And won. Take that, Dirty Harry!
Anyway, I just wanted to recommend Every Which Way But Loose and Any Which Way You Can. Two films of the late 70s/early 80s, with both her and Clint. The Guardian today describes them as “redneck” comedies, which might be true but they’re pretty good ones. Fun and funny. One of the leads is an orangutan, which is certainly different, and Ruth Gordon is there too and is damn good.
Anyway, I liked Locke. She’s a good actress with a hell of a singing voice, and I thought she should get some recognition here for it. She got an Oscar nomination for her first ever film, and I think she was better than the opportunities she got. There’s not a huge body of work, but what there is I would recommend.
