    The most ideological and connotative of the western movies I have watched actually I do not ask for any connotations of western movies. It is ok if it is cool enough and wild enough. The vast West presented here is another kind of beauty, tranquility, vastness, and the real owner of this land....

    In the end, the director avoided letting the modern audience directly face the surrender and annihilation of Indian civilization, and implicitly attributed the responsibility of the executioner to the vile and vulgar part of modern people, just like introducing a vicious wave in order to establish the identity of the Sioux. Nepalese tribe. In fact, everyone is bloodthirsty and violent. For the sake of the land and the people, even if the gun is used for self-defense, the essence is still...

    7.9/10. ①During the Civil War, white American officers who were tired of war volunteered to be stationed in the west. During this period, they met the Indian Sioux tribe and completely fell in love with this tribe and became a part of them. It is a pity that he was later found by the U.S. military. In the face of the continuous advancement of the U.S. military, he finally had to bid farewell to the tribe in order not to implicate the tribe. ②The overall photography is quite beautiful...

    The style of the American West, beautiful and bold. It is said that wolves are the most terrifying, but no, talents are! More often, the human heart is far inferior to the...

    It's so long, so long... Four hours of epic masterpiece, I thought it was an adventure or war Western before I watched it, but after watching it, I realized it turned out to be a literary Western. The photography and soundtrack are very good! The racial conflict between Indians and Americans, and the nation on horseback eventually fell under the cannons of spears. History is so cruel. But I always felt that something was wrong, and I had been waiting for a shock and finally did not come out....

    It's a frustrating process to engage with a foreign culture with respect and open mind. What's more, by engaging one also risks losing their old identity. International students and immigrants face this problem...

    The director's cut version is heartwarming! The epic masterpiece that lasted for nearly four hours brought an unfinished look and feel. In the vast and boundless grassland, a lone wolf runs across the conflict zone between horseback civilization and real civilization, roaring wantonly and dancing with wolves. The majestic narrative style is also full of delicate emotional portrayals. It is not impetuous, but has ambition in its calmness. You have seen the feelings, and I have seen a symbol, the...

    To understand the history of the United States, especially this part of the westward movement, in fact, we see more human-level issues. Look at ourselves, think about ourselves. Is it natural to be aggressive? Even wolves can do this, why can't people? What kind of creatures are we? If human nature is like that, I'd rather have wolf nature. Everything has been changed,...

Dances with Wolves quotes

  • John Dunbar: [in Lakota; subtitled] We are trying for a baby.

    Kicking Bird: [in Lakota] No waiting?

    John Dunbar: [in Lakota] No waiting.

    Kicking Bird: [in Lakota] I was just thinking that of all the trails in this life, there are some that matter most. It is the trail of a true human being. I think you are on this trail, and it is good to see.

  • Kicking Bird: [in Lakota; addressing the village council] He may be a special man or even a god. I ask that Chief Ten Bears give us permission to talk with him.

    [murmurs around the council as Wind in his Hair rises to speak]

    Wind In His Hair: [in Lakota; subtitled] I do not care for this talk about a white man at the soldier fort. Whoever he is he is not a Sioux and that makes him less. We took more then a hundred horses from these people and there was no honor in it. They don't ride well. They don't shoot well. They're dirty. Those so-called "soldiers" could not make it through one winter in our country. And all these people are said to flourish? I think they will all be dead soon... maybe in ten years.

    [murmurs circulate around the council]

    Wind In His Hair: [in Lakota] I think this fool is probably lost.

    [the councel laughs as Wind In His Hair sits back down and Kicking Bird raises his right hand as a call for silence]

    Kicking Bird: [in Lakota; subtitled] Wind In His Hair has spoken and his words are strong. It is true that the whites are a poor race and it is hard to understand them. But make no mistake, the whites are coming. Even our enemies agree on this. But when I see one white man alone and without fear in our country, I do not think he is lost. I think he may have medicine. I think this is a man who will speak for all white people. I think this is a man from which treaties may be struck.

    [the council murmurs and nods in agreement until Wind In His Hair rises to speak again]

    Wind In His Hair: [in Lakota; subtitled] Kicking Bird is always looking ahead and while that is good, he doesn't know this lone white man. This white man cannot hunt, cover our lodges, or feed our children. He is nothing to us! I will take some warriors with me and we will shoot some arrows into the white man. If he truly has medicine, he will not be hurt. If he has no medicine, he will be dead.

    [more murmurs are heard as Wind In His Hair sits back down and Stone Calf rises to speak]

    Stone Calf: [in Lakota; subtitled] No man on the council can tell another man what to do. But killing a white man is a delicate business. If you kill one, more are sure to come.

    Ten Bears: [in Lakota; subtitled] It's easy to become confused by these questions. Before we take action we need to talk about this some more at another time. That is all I have to say. This council is dismissed.
