violence
Scenes of moderate violence include a bare-knuckle fight between two men, with some resultant bloody injuries, and a sequence in which a soldier is punished by being made to walk shirtless between two rows of men who cane his back as he passes, leaving his back criss-crossed with bloody marks. There are scenes in which children are punished by being caned across their buttocks. There are also pistol duels, including one which focuses on the distress of one of the participants, including him vomiting in fear. Battle scenes include men being shot and killed, with some blood sprays.
threat and horror
Sequences of threat include people being held up by highway robbers and buildings collapsing and on fire.
language
Mild bad language includes use of 'ass', with even milder terms including 'damn'.
sex
In one sequence, a man is shown kissing two topless women at what is presumed to be an orgy. In another scene, his cousin persuades him to search for a ribbon she has hidden in her cleavage as part of a sexual game. There are also verbal references to 'fornication'.
injury detail
Blood and injuries are seen in the aftermath of violence. There is also sight of dead bodies, without graphic detail.
nudity
There is female breast nudity when people are seen at a presumed orgy, although no sexual acts are shown beyond kissing. There is implied nudity in non sexual contexts, including two men bathing in a river and a woman in a bath, although any clear nudity in these sequences is obscured.
suicide and self-harm
A woman is seen screaming and writhing in pain after she drinks poison, although she survives.
theme
A young boy is thrown from a horse and later dies.
alcohol and smoking
Adults drink alcohol and smoke pipes. A distraught man drinks to excess.
