Dances with Wolves

Rating:
Summary: Racist movie.
Review: I loved 'Dances with Wolves' when I was younger, but when I went back to watch it again recently, I turned it off half way through. First of all the movie is racist toward whites. Kevin Costner seems like the only white man who has sympathy for American Indians. Costner depicts whites as sloppy, drunk, and incompetent, while depicting the Native Americans as pure, noble, and peaceful. The settlers who came from Europe did horrible things to the American Indians, but that does not mean the American Indians were all pure at heart and the white man was all evil.
The war and genocide that occurred between the two groups is what almost always happens when two people of different race, religion, and ethnic groups conflict with each other. Costner was paying respect to the Native Americans and that was a good thing that he did. The American Indians deserve it up to a point. But don't go around thinking they were not deeply flawed and did not have darker side like other human beings.

Summary: i saw this like 9 million times in school.
Review: ive seen about 10 billion movies about the indians in school.history classes are based entirely around them lightly flavored with the real news like the constitution and american revolution.so what?theyre neat.but man!how much credit do they really deserve.this movie should have been called beating a dead horse.this colonial adventurer type runs into some indians and hangs out with them for like 3 hours plus doing next to nothing.maybe they could call it isomnia cure.kevin costner is in it as the white guy.every movie but one hes ever been in suck.the postman being the really only exception.the kids will fall asleep too.i guess its supposed to be educational but weve had the indian thing shoved down out throat since kindergarten.we know it,already!shanghai noon is a billion times better!its got those cool type indians.it blows.save your money.no bartering either!ill give you something to be thankful for.quenten tarantino.his stuff gets into the type of movie oppisite of this one.that would be classic .
