at the 63rd Academy Awards The first time I came into contact with this film was in the first year of high school. At that time, a young female history teacher had this film on her computer. I wanted to watch it, but she told me that this film compares Dull, we teens don't like it. At that time, I thought I didn't say it, she looked down on me too much. Later, I only watched this film in my freshman year. It was more than 3 hours long, and there was not much fighting. No wonder she said it was dull. The film tells the story of a white lieutenant Dunbar who goes deep into the Indian tribes to gain their trust and eventually integrate into their society far from modern civilization when the United States is developing the West. This film, along with "The Last Samurai" and the upcoming "Princess Mononoke," always reminds me of Samuel Huntington's famous book "The Clash of Civilizations and the Restoration of the World Order."
As human history moves forward, many natures and traditions are left behind. I have traveled to some ethnic minority settlements and found that most of them have been assimilated by the Han Chinese, and know everything about modern society, including various means of making money. In addition, religious beliefs have also been invaded by modern civilization. Now the monks who practice asceticism are not as many as when xx represents. Sometimes, I will think that those traditional cultures, such as opera, ancient writing, meditation, etc., are all eliminated by natural selection? For example, the giant panda is actually a species that has been eliminated by nature. Should manpower intervene? On the other hand, the strength of a nation is not reflected in the GDP or "happiness index" that ghosts believe. First of all, it has the courage to face the truth of history, dare to examine oneself correctly, and secondly, it has to be tolerant of different cultures. The birth of this film gave Americans a chance to face up to that period of history. While the best picture at the Oscars may not be to your liking, there will never be a bad movie. "Dancing With Wolves" directed and acted by Kevin Costner deserves to be the best picture in the Oscars. With the long-lasting soundtrack, it seems that a river called history has experienced vicissitudes and slowly flows through... The

most impressive scene: from Indian When the tribe returned to the army, Lieutenant Dunbar was arrested as an Indian, and his horse was shot mercilessly; when he was pinned to the ground, he looked up and saw crows pecking at the carcass of his horse. While Lieutenant Dunbar was being escorted, American soldiers kept shooting at the wolf not far away.

    From Dunbar to Dancing with Wolves is a classic cultural anthropologist's process of acquiring culture. Fortunately, the field notes were retrieved in the end, otherwise I would really be pissed off. There is too much to say, but I can't say it. In fact, there are still many imperfections, such as the setting of female characters, the ethical issues that destroy the ecology of the community such as weapons (this is demanding), the racist narrative that cannot be ignored, and the conflict between tribes is not fully demonstrated; However, it is a priori and rare to review colonial history from the perspective of the Indians. The fingers stretched out between different cultures are the possibility of inter-subjectivity, even though there are countless bloody and painful colonial histories above it.

    In my heart, this movie is definitely regarded as a classic. Before watching this movie, I should only understand this movie literally. After watching it, I am deeply impressed by the culture and wisdom of the Indian people. I especially like the way they named them, kicking birds and blowing in the wind. Spreading, standing with a fist, black shawl, always smiling, ten bears, etc., and later dancing with wolves, every name contains a story, and every name is alive, just like this movie , Mysterious and distant.
