Well madame/sir, now I have to rewatch this classic today… thank you so much was wondering what to watch today.
Sounds quite interesting. I don’t know why I never watched it.
I enjoyed this quick scene just now, in which the hero ‘uses the power of nature’ to thwart enemies.
It’s extremely bloody. I mean that literally. There is so much blood. I saw it in the cinema and in one scene you could see a fine blood mist after someone got hit in the head. But the movie is really good.
It’s fantastic. Not a lot of dialogue. No one is calling it the most historically accurate movie of all time, but that’s the biggest complaint.
Hmm, is there something(s) that stands out egregiously in terms of historical accuracy?
Seems like kind of an odd complaint otherwise considering the liberties that the typical Hollywood film takes.
The native Americans are a bit too “savage.” Like the natives in King Kong almost. If you’re an anthropologist you will have some problems with the way the cultures are depicted. Mel Gibson is the director, and if you’re familiar with Braveheart (1995) and the historical accuracy of that, it’s similar.
Yeap, understood. Thank you.
It’s on my list now. I’m even looking forward to hearing the Mayan, with Dances with Wolves sort of standing out vaguely in my mind as a subtext-less movie that got the Lakota right for the most part, but bungled the gendered words, evidently.
