Dances with Wolves

One of the most touching scenes is at the end, when Dances with Wolves turned and left, the words Wind In His Hair rode on a white horse and stood on the cliff shouted, "I'm your friend, do you understand? You will always be me. Do you understand my friend?" Lt. Dunbar didn't answer, turned around and left silently, only the voice of Wind In His Hair echoed continuously in the valley, "Dancing with wolves, dancing with wolves...". I suddenly felt that the language of the Sioux was so beautiful, as if a certain string in my heart was plucked until this time, but the whole film has ended, and the subtitles have been played on the screen, "Thirteen years later, their homes destroyed, their buffalos gone, the last band of free Sioux submitted to white authority at Fort Robinson, Nebraska. The great horse culture of the plains was gone and the American frontier was soon to pass into history.”

    It's so long, so long... Four hours of epic masterpiece, I thought it was an adventure or war Western before I watched it, but after watching it, I realized it turned out to be a literary Western. The photography and soundtrack are very good! The racial conflict between Indians and Americans, and the nation on horseback eventually fell under the cannons of spears. History is so cruel. But I always felt that something was wrong, and I had been waiting for a shock and finally did not come out. The role of the wolf is very small, it would be better to have more

    From Dunbar to Dancing with Wolves is a classic cultural anthropologist's process of acquiring culture. Fortunately, the field notes were retrieved in the end, otherwise I would really be pissed off. There is too much to say, but I can't say it. In fact, there are still many imperfections, such as the setting of female characters, the ethical issues that destroy the ecology of the community such as weapons (this is demanding), the racist narrative that cannot be ignored, and the conflict between tribes is not fully demonstrated; However, it is a priori and rare to review colonial history from the perspective of the Indians. The fingers stretched out between different cultures are the possibility of inter-subjectivity, even though there are countless bloody and painful colonial histories above it.
