I relfect on Dances with Wolves

Thoughts on setting, plot and characters: I thought the setting was very appropriate for the type of movie they were making, if they filmed in Canada, the setting wouldn't of matched the plot so well, so it's good they chose the great plains. The plot was interesting, sort of, but I can respect it for the historical quality of it. The characters were interesting, I thought the internal conflict of John Dunbar .was very interesting, and that Stands with Fist's conflict about marrying John was interesting as well.
New History: I didn't know about the Sioux and the Pawnee, I just recognized their names from random snippets of history. I also wasn't aware of the fact that buffalo were already rare in the 1860's, I thought they were thriving in that time period.
Overall thoughts: I hated this movie, it was boring and I hated the analyzation of it. I'm just no good at analyzation, that's why I hate movies like this, because you have to see the deeper meaning of it to actually enjoy it, which is incredibly hard for me.
