Dances with Wolves

the story is about the us soldier, Dunbar, accidentally he was a hero in battle. So he got rewards that was a house and the permission to choose the force place everywhere he wanted to be. He chose to be in western frontier,Fort Shedwick, the far away place. He was lead by a man but after sent Dunbar, that man was killed by Pawnee. When he arrived there was no one, many day passed,there still no one. He met only a wolf name Two socks. One day he met a white girl, her body full of blood. She afraid of Dunbar so the faded. Dunbar took her back to Sioux village. Sioux was angry with Dunbar. Later Dunbar was accept to Sioux because he is good person and Sioux' leader want to talk with Dunbar.
Then the good relationship began, he learned about the Sioux language his first word is the buffalo. He was named in Sioux language "Dances with Wolves" because the indians saw him played with Two Socks. Dundar told about the direction of buffalo and helped Sioux to fight with Pawnee. He married to a Sioux girl that he helped her. One day while he come back to his house at frontier to take his diary. He met soldiers and they shot his horse. It died right away and he was take to the jail. Then, the indians helps him out. Finally, he decided not to stay with Indians because the indians will be in danger b'coz of him.
The main character is Dunbar, US soldier, he is open-minded. He's open to Indians culture. He is a really man. Also, I think his horse is main character b'coz it's very clever. Additionally, a wolf, Two Socks b'coz it's lead the name of Dances With Wolves.

From this movies it tell me something more about Sioux Indians, they were great hourse culture of the plains. They worships their God by dancing. They will kill the buffalo only the number the sufficient for them. Indians was not cruel like what I think. But they are cruel b'coz of white people. For the Indians that I think they cruel is Pownee b'coz they take the flash out of the human body after they killed them. Overall, I think this movie is fun to watch but it's very long. (*!*)

Yeh, this is a long movie! I loved it as did most people who watched it. It placed the Sioux in good light while showing how bad the whites were. Not always true but this movie did not go crazy showing how noble the Indians were.

Your summary was good and I really liked your insights into the Sioux culture. They were very good horsemen. Most people do not realize that the Indians danced as a religious ceremony. You did very good.

Keep up the good blogging.
