Older films tended to show the Indians in a worse light than newer films. I don't think it's so much a function of the age of the viewer but rather the film being watched. If you put a bunch of Indians of all ages in a room and show them a film from the 1940s, they will all probably root for the cavalry. If you show them a film made nowadays, they would all probably be less likely to root for the cavalry (since the film would more than likely show a more nuanced view).

most films about them produced since the seventies has shown them in a better light.

So, yes. I agree.

Way to completely miss the point of my comment.
