in awe of movies

Western films can be said to be the "native products" of the United States, and a legend left over from the development of the western United States. Therefore, most of the protagonists in Western films are American moral models, reflecting the character and spirit of the current trend of the entire country.

"Dances with Wolves" has two lines from a storytelling point of view: one is Dunbar's story, and the other is Indians' story. The director fuses the two stories to ridicule the ugly image of the United States when it expanded its territory, and delicately presents the condition of the Indians. Maybe the Americans are not so ugly, and the Indians are not so kind, but the exaggerated effect of this kind of drama can make the current rulers (viewers) allies to question and reflect, and avoid repeating the crime of killing and violating the territory. This movie is still a typical western, but times have changed, and so has the hero in the hearts of Americans.

The character creation shows the director's patience! After staying in the metropolis for a long time, people easily lose their spiritual energy, integrate into nature, and get more spiritual energy when they are close to the original ecology. This is the reason why Dunbar came to the western prairie, and it is also a reflection of the director's thoughts on the people of today. You must know that the protagonists of traditional Western films do not know who and what purpose, but the author of this film does the opposite, making the story and characters fuller. Dunbar was a brave and thoughtful man. In the opening chapter, he reluctantly begged for death, but unexpectedly died, this stroke is a satire on the American war, and also set the tone for Dunbar, a brave and unique character. On the way of Dunbar and the groom, Dunbar recorded what he saw and felt, which shows that he has a delicate mind that is different from his rough appearance. Groom's vulgar image also highlights the image of Dunbar as a civilized man, because the entire American society tends to have a high-quality, high-civilized environment.
(The scene of Dunbar dying to death is so beautiful)

Dances with Wolves quotes

  • Sergeant Pepper: [at the inactive battlefield] Some of the boys are saying that if we ain't gonna fight we could just settle the whole business with a little high stakes poker. Wouldn't that be a sight... a bunch of fellas sitting in the middle of this field drawing cards...

  • John Dunbar: Many times I'd felt alone, but until this afternoon I'd never felt completely lonely.
