The film is generally fascinating, with beautiful scenery, conflict, and sublimation. You can see the layers of elements of Hollywood films. It is a good film. Although it feels that the things discussed are relatively simple and the emotions expressed are relatively superficial, but Overall, we can still feel the many thoughts that the film wants to express to us.
The scene that attracted me the most in the movie was the scene of dancing with wolves and a few Sioux warriors to hunt yak Running and chasing on the grass of life and death, brutality and harmony coexist in this primitive hunting.
There are several contradictions in the movie. First, who was kidnapped by clenching her fists when she was a child? If it was the savage side, why did she grow up on the Sioux side in the end? It seems a little contradictory and too beautiful; The second is to extend from the plot where the family members were killed while clenching their fists. Did the local indigenous people have a history of aggression against some white people at that time? I think revenge and counter-revenge should exist in history, but in the end, the white people ruled the Indians with a more thorough victory. At the same time, whether the life of the Indians in the play is real, not glorified, I think so Feeling a little pessimistic and skeptical.
However, the overall impression of the Sioux to me is spirituality, wisdom, and harmony, so it can give people a very good impression. The intelligent "sage kicks the bird" can open up his heart to explore the unknown, feel good intentions, and establish connections; The wild "scattering in the wind", casual and powerful, in the end can say goodbye and reluctant to leave the dance with wolves, and other spiritual characters, all like this clear division of labor, slightly indifferent A state beyond the reach of numb modern people.
