Universal Values ​​in Racial Issues

Having seen "Dancing With Wolves", I intuitively made this film, and it should cost a lot of money. In the late 1980s, the investment of about 20 million was not a small amount. It was more like an omen, indicating that The 1990s, which focused on luxury commercial blockbusters with big investment, was coming, and the "Titanic" that was born later was the pinnacle of this era.
Although "Dances with Wolves" won the Oscar for Best Picture in 1991, it doesn't seem to have been rated particularly highly historically. At that time, Kevin Costner was only thirty-five years old, and it was quite honorable to have such a big deal and achievements in his hands, but half of it was also due to the theme, which fit the trend of Hollywood preferences and epic blockbusters in the 1990s. , the story is based on the bloody history of western development and national integration, and tells a story and theme that people are willing to pay attention to. The film is very funny! The previous award-winning westerns can be traced back to 1931's "Ambition", with a gap of 59 years, which shows that although westerns are myths in American movies, they have not been favored and affirmed by mainstream film culture. It can be unique in the history of film, relying entirely on the style and charm of this type of film itself.
The bloody and unpleasantness in the process of national integration is largely due to the human innate mentality of possessing and plundering survival resources, as well as the soft aggression of human nature brought about by the export of civilization!
This standard is suitable for white Americans and Indians, and it is also suitable for the Chinese dynasty. It has universal value.
Personally, I think "Dancing With Wolves" is okay, that is, it focuses on the details of the fusion process, and it will inevitably be a little verbose. For four hours, most people will probably find it annoying to watch.
Still think Kevin Costner is handsome in a white shirt and overalls! I don't know why, but I always feel that he always plays bad movies, and there is nothing that impresses me particularly deeply. As for acting, although I don't know how to do it, I also think he doesn't seem to be particularly good, but I like him.

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.
