Wild and Spiritual

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.

    A 4-hour film that showcases the story of the close encounter between whites and Indians. This film gave me the greatest feeling of love and hate. The white people, relying on their own civilization, invaded the simplicity and harmony of the Indians with numbness and cruelty, so the Indians fought back fiercely with their instinctive primitiveness and savagery. The plot that moved me the most was the friendly relationship between the male protagonist and a wolf, and the warmth and warmth of dancing with the wolf!

    The biggest impression of this movie is that it is so long ~ 4 hours. In the end I felt like it was another avatar~It's just that the original residents lost their homeland~

Dances with Wolves quotes

  • [Ten Bears shows Dunbar an old Spanish Conquistador's helmet]

    Ten Bears: [in Lakota; subtitled] The white men who wore this came around the time of my grandfather's grandfather. Eventually we drove them out. Then the Mexicans came. But they do not come here any more. In my own time, the Texans. They have been like all the others. They take without asking. But I think you are right. I think they will keep coming. When I think of that, I look at this helmet. I don't know if we are ready for these people. Our country is all that we have, and we will fight to keep it.
