This week, we started the movie "Dances with Wolves" about a civil war soldier transferred to the frontier at his own request. He starts out with trepidation and evolves into someone who can bond with the natives on the frontier. This movie is interesting because it has a lot of interesting culture in it, the dynamics between the Indians and the white men, the Sioux and the Pawnee and what the whites thought of the natives. I found that the way this movie was shot really called attention to what was happening in the movie at the time, the music also reflected what the scene was trying to portray.
The way the director did the music was amazing, because it made fun of the old west movies where the Indians were always the bad guys, which is not entirely the case in this movie, there's a bad tribe and a good tribe. The way the Indians treat white people is almost the same as the white people treat the Indians, they both hate each other with some people trying to make peace.
