epic - terrifying length

"Dancing With Wolves" is very famous, Kevin Costner's famous epic film. I had the heart to appreciate it for a long time, but the 236-minute length of the film is really hard to summon up the courage. However, it is precisely because the film is long enough that people can experience the ideas that the film wants to express from beginning to end. The feelings between people, wolves, and horses, and the ugly faces of the invaders are all deeply expressed in this film.

The protagonist's fear and unfamiliarity with the Indians from the beginning gradually developed into mutual attraction, and then to a firm friendship later, which is worth appreciating. The wolf in the film also shows the same characteristics as the Indians. The end part of the film is indeed very distressing. The Indians kept shouting "you will always be my friend" on the hillside, echoing the wolf howling on the cliff, and it felt good.

The 1990 movie, I recommend watching it if you have time and patience.

    The soundtrack of the cattle hunting section is magnificent. This dance with wolves actually deserves its name, and the others have "a lot of smiles", "kick birds" and "stand with fists." very funny.

    The "civilization" that Bai Guizi brought to the aborigines was "fire water", "reserved land subsidy" and "casino".

Dances with Wolves quotes

  • Ten Bears: [in Lakota to Dunbar; subtitled] Dances with Wolves has been quiet these past few days. Is his heart bad?

    John Dunbar: [in Lakota to the village council; subtitled] Killing those soldiers at the river was a good thing. I never got to thank all of you for saving me. I did not mind killing those men. I was glad to do it. But now I know that the soldiers hate me like they hate no other. Because I killed soldiers, men of my own race, they think I am a traitor.

    [the council murmurs and nods in agreement]

    John Dunbar: [in Lakota; subtitled] And now they will hunt for me. And when they find me they will find you. I think it would be wise to move the village to another location right now. As for me... I will be leaving. I will be leaving with my wife Stands With a Fist as soon as possible. I must go and try to talk to those that will listen.

    [shouts and protests immediately begin around the council. Wind In His Hair stands up and screams his objection. Even Kicking Bird is protesting. However, Ten Bears rises both of his hands as a sign to stop]

    Ten Bears: [in Lakota; subtitled] Quiet! You are all hurting my ears! Leave us!

    [all the Sioux file out of the tent, and within seconds Ten Bears and Dunbar are alone]

    Ten Bears: [in Lakota to Dunbar; subtitled] You are the only white man I have ever known. I have thought about you a lot. More than you think. And I understand your concern. But I think you are wrong. The white man the soldiers are looking for no longer exists. Now there is only a Sioux named Dances with Wolves.

  • Stands With a Fist: [translating for Kicking Bird] He thanks Dances with Wolves for coming.

    John Dunbar: Who is Dances with Wolves?

    Stands With a Fist: It is the name all the people are calling you now.
