      Souls and races and the fate of destruction

      Between the blood group and the spiritual group, the average person is one. The protagonist of the story, longing for a new life, seems to have no intention of entering the Indian world. He was integrated into the Indian tribe, but he had to make a clean break with the ethnic group of his own blood. This kind of conflict is both emotional and confusing. However, the protagonist is actually such a person, a person who has a tacit understanding with wolves and horses, and his friendship with...

      Let the narrow frame go to hell in front of loneliness

      The two ends of human beings, survival and thinking, exist when alive, and the greatness of thinking may be thinking about survival because of loneliness. All living beings have needs. When you are hungry, the best thing in the world is nothing but food. When you are full and long for desires, it is precisely the existence of human desires that there is no limit to the existence of human desires. "Desire to go to the extreme" is an ancient Chinese philosophy of viewing people, and there is...

      in awe of movies

      Western films can be said to be the "native products" of the United States, and a legend left over from the development of the western United States. Therefore, most of the protagonists in Western films are American moral models, reflecting the character and spirit of the current trend of the entire country.

      "Dances with Wolves" has two lines from a storytelling point of view: one is Dunbar's story, and the other is Indians' story. The director fuses the two stories to ridicule the...

      It is rare to see westerns about Indians now, probably because of the sensitive subject matter. This one feels very realistic, not bad~ But it doesn't feel like a sharp rise in hormones, it's a little...

      3 hours and 56 minutes, it is only used to tell a story with a very simple and straight line of narrative and conflict. The repeated appearance of the wolf totem highlights the lonely melody of the film. Finally, there was a shout in the wind: Can you treat me as your friend? The culture on horseback died, the Indians died out, and the westerns faded away. Dances with wolves heart says: Goodbye...

    Movie Highlights

    At the beginning of the movie, two doctors are examining John Dunbar, and the man standing by the table is Kevin Costner's stand-in.
    Because the Su language is more popular, the film changes the Indian Comanche in the novel to the Su ethnic group. Although the dialogue in the Su language is very simple, the available words and pronunciation are quite accurate.
    Except for the civil war at the beginning of the movie, which was shot at the...

    An anachronism: the pigeon in an old fortress is a Eurasian pigeon with a collar, and it was impossible to appear in North America at that time.

    Creative background

    In order to put the film on the big screen, the film's screenwriter Michael Blake went through a difficult time. In the mid-1980s, because there was nowhere to find buyers interested in the "Dancing with Wolves" script, the impoverished Michael Blake was homeless in Los Angeles. In early 1986, Kevin Costner saw Michael. Blake's script later encouraged him to change the script to a novel. However, the manuscript of "Dancing with Wolves"...
