BEAUTY

I finished Dance With Wolves (1990) today (see yesterday's post).

And yup, it ended kinda like I was afraid it would; but, in between, and for the most part, there were flashes of brilliance and beauty that is rare in a film of this kind; an extended western.

I liked it a lot and will give it a 4 out of Netflix5.

I don't suppose that any analogy between what the US Army did to the Sioux and what they are doing today would be too heavy handed.

It has been our approach too many times towards strange, brown people; wherever or whoever they are.

Of course, you could argue that the film was slanted; but, it did not have to work too hard to see the underlying motif in the brutality being used on the battlefield and in military prisons today.
