The most touching place may be the different emotions brought by the two figures of the Sioux people who are radiating in the wind and kicking the bird.
At first, the second lieutenant felt that he might not be able to run freely from now on because of the cruelty of the war. People may only realize how beautiful it is when they lose it. After asking for forgiveness from the war horse, embrace the moment with the war horse on the battlefield as if giving up everything, and run as much as you like. After going through this, I can understand why the second lieutenant volunteered to go to the grasslands, and went to an uninhabited place to experience the existence of few violent things. The ensign's exact words, "just wish to see it before it dies", feel it. But what did the second lieutenant feel? It was the destruction of the garrison by the white garrison, the slaughter of antelope animals, the stench of the river; the skinning of the buffalo by the white poachers, the bloody corpses everywhere, that was the Sioux The food of nature, the gift of nature is so insulted; it is the desecration of the sacred source of life by the white people, the abuse of what may be the last fertile green land in the steppe, that is the common belief among the races, though barbaric. Kicking the bird represents the civilized side of the Sioux, and he also promotes the communication between the Sioux and the white people. Love and peace are the ultimate goals. Violence and repression cannot resolve conflicts.
When Feng Zhongfan met the second lieutenant for the first time, he deliberately ran into the second lieutenant to show his courage, but he never thought that the second lieutenant was also the one who was afraid. If one is equal communication between people, the other is to conquer and suppress. The exudes in the wind represents the fighting power of the Sioux. Although his character is violent and direct, he is the mainstay in the fight to defend the tribe. If they fall, the Sioux may have been slaughtered by other tribes long ago. Their battle makeup, their roaring force, their scalp-cutting, resentment against the defiler, and a survival instinct. Compared with the slaughter of animals and the destruction of the environment by white people, they are just treating people with their own way. Perhaps in their eyes, white people are the real savages. After killing a buffalo, the act of devouring raw internal organs is more respectable than the indifference that seems to dominate all living beings.
At the end of the movie, when the second lieutenant told Kicking Bird that countless white people would come, the second lieutenant lowered his head, while Kicking Bird was silently sad; ”, the second lieutenant knew that his friend who was in the wind had died in the hands of the white man, and his heart was even more silent sadness.
The name in the wind is so literary but it represents force, and the name of Kicking Bird represents force but symbolizes civilization.
Although the film consumes the civilization of the Sioux, it is at least sincere and moving.
