Film Critique - Dances with Wolves Movie Review

Film Critique - Dances with Wolves - Movie Review ExampleThe trail in His Hair, a young, angry Indian, did not trust him at all. When Dunbar brought back Stands With a Fist, who was a white girl that was living with the tribe and was attempting suicide following(a) the death of her husband, Dunbar was looked upon the tribe less suspiciously by everybody. Then, when Dunbar came into the camp to tell the tribe about him spotting Buffalo, he attained mythical status, and everybody wanted to be his friend from that point on. Dunbar then started living with the tribe. He learned the language and married Stands With a Fist. Dunbar was captured by the army when he went back to his original bit to retrieve his diary, thinking that the diary would be used to find the Sioux tribe and kill them. The Sioux brothers of Dunbar ambushed the Army hands who were taking Dunbar to be tried for treason and likely hanged. Dunbar knew that his presence in the tribe made the entire tribe a target, and put everybody in danger, so he knew that he had to leave. With a heavy heart, he and Stands With a Fist left the tribe. In the captions, it was made known that the entire tribe had submitted to the white bits rule 18 months later. One of the major(ip) themes that ran all the way through the movie was the white mans disregard for nature and animals. through and through this theme ran an undercurrent that the white man had no regard for life, period. The theme of having a general disregard for nature, thus having a general disregard for animals, was subtly introduced to the character of John Dunbars guide....

The theme of having general disregard for nature, thus having a general disregard for animals, was subtly introduced in the character of John Dunbars guide. This guide threw a tin can into the prairie, and by the way that Dunbar looked upon this action, it was clear that Dunbar did not approve of this. The theme was touched upon much more clearly in a subsequent scene there were dead animals in a pond, all of them shot to death. It wasnt clear why these animals were killed they apparently were not killed for their hide, or their meat, because the entire carcasses were left to rot in the water. They apparently were killed only for sport. The next instance where the audience was shown that the white man had no respect for an imals or nature came during a scene where there were thousands of buffaloes rotting in the sun. They were stripped of their hides and their tongues, then left on the prairie to rot. This was an insult to the Indians they depended upon the buffalo for the meat, the hide, the organs, the bones, everything. They did not
