Souls and races and the fate of destruction

Between the blood group and the spiritual group, the average person is one. The protagonist of the story, longing for a new life, seems to have no intention of entering the Indian world. He was integrated into the Indian tribe, but he had to make a clean break with the ethnic group of his own blood. This kind of conflict is both emotional and confusing. However, the protagonist is actually such a person, a person who has a tacit understanding with wolves and horses, and his friendship with the Indian tribe is inevitable. However, he was not afraid of death, not afraid of loneliness, and it seemed that he was not afraid of or cared about anything. When he established a real link with his horse and his totem wolf, when he cared about them, they were gone. At first, he was reluctant to tell Kickingbird how many people would come. Finally, he integrated into the Indian tribe and began to really worry about the survival of the Sioux. He told Kickingbird that when there were as many white people as the stars, the Sioux would also face catastrophe. The protagonist armed his friends, but could not change their fate. It was a destiny that was doomed from the beginning, from his time to the abandoned military fort. Because he was white himself, a soldier on the frontier before the westward movement began, his coming, as the tribal saint Kicking the Bird said, was a harbinger of sorts. The open and vast west still cannot satisfy the gluttonous hearts of white people. The Indian tribes will continue the fate of the piles of antelope, bison, and wild deer that they have seen with their own eyes, killed and abandoned. In addition, the simplicity and friendship of the Sioux people in the film is moving, and compared with the white people's own ethnic group, it is amazing!

    It came out slowly. The story is interesting, the Indians, the awe of nature, etc. There are also many clichés. Basically, I can guess the next plot. It is a routine work. Many animals died in order to make this film, right? The director’s temperament and photography are worth three stars, and everything else is general, even more fucking

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.
