By the time it was over, she was dead, and he claimed LSD made him do it. His name, David Minor the 4th, and we talked to him. Listen to Invisible Choir every other week as we uncover the most haunting true crimes you've never heard of, available wherever you get your podcasts. Thank you to Shopify for sponsoring this video.

More on them in just a bit. Hi-do-ho there, Reject. How you doing there, fellow citizen of this great country of ours, or of the world. Either way, Reject Nation is worldwide. We are going to watch a movie today that my father, Stephen was obsessed with. Obsessed.

I never watched it. It was one of those movies, you know, when your dad has a movie on, and you're like, this looks like the most boring thing in the world, because it's such an adult movie when you're like five. Yeah. But he owned like this giant laser disc of it. It was like this thick boy. And he loved it.

And I never sat in the room and watched it because it was like, this is not Power Rangers. I don't want to watch this. movie. This is audio visual NyQuil. Yeah. So I do was like, I finally have to watch this movie. Apparently it's really good. I won a bunch of Oscars and stuff. And I never gave it its chance. But now we honor Stephen.

So yeah, that's how I'm feeling. Honor my dad. How are you feeling today, buddy? I'm feeling good, man. Yeah, just drove here immediately through traffic and chaos and, you know, we're on CPT today. But we're good. Feeling well, feeling swell. This is my first proper social interaction of the day.

Me too. So, yeah, I'm ready to get into it. I don't know anything about this movie, but I am excited to see a Kevin Costner classic. That came on 1990. That was three hours and two minutes long. We're in for a journey today. Yeah, there's an extended cut I'm aware of. It's also on HBO Max.

It's almost four hours long. Really? But I wanted to, A, not be here for that long. I looked it up. And apparently the extended cut is not Kevin Costner's extended cut. Like the producer went in. and did the expansion on it. So it'd be a very different argument to do it

if it was the director himself who did the extended cut. Kevin Costor's known for getting a lot of footage and making longer movies, but I wanted to just watch the movie that everyone else has primarily seen. This is the version that has been seen by the masses and won all the awards.

So I want to watch this version specifically. Okay. And not add an extra hour to this very thick day as we try to have holidays. So guys, I want to say thank you to everyone who's here. Thanks to Prepper for editing this down.

we'll think of at the beginning. Why not? You guys are a good, good, good, good foreigners editing and good American stuff right now. I appreciate you. Very much so. Do you think of a preacher Indian people like this movie? I'm sure Native Americans love this movie. Not Native American Indian as in India. Yeah, man. They're all about our American history. Yeah. It's their favorite subject, actually. It has to be, right?

ready let's rock let's do it buddy so i remember my dad telling me that back then kevin costner was mainly kind of just like an action star or some shit and then he just came out of nowhere with this movie this epic and was like proved himself as this a tour of a director yeah i didn't realize he directed it until you started saying that in the intro there i was like oh my god i didn't know he did that okay paw kent look at that given gosner dances with wolves mr yellowstone himself a show i've still never seen a single minute of oh he's off of it now i know too greedy on all that money i don't know that's why i don't know why he left wow floyd red crow westerman is this the last one i don't know straight with the bled

no holding back is this the last one that is such a stark opening oh my god wow ah so Yes, the sound of it. Let's coffee up. He can wait a few minutes. He's a northerner. So young Costner? Yeah. Oh, the flies on it, that can't be sanitary.

I didn't have disinfectants back then. Oh, wow. Oh, the brutality of back then. You had to get surgery. You felt it. War is ugly, man. Ah, I see, he's refusing to have his leg amputated. Ah, so nasty.

Already a really effective score. A great visual storytelling. Make a splint out of it. Oh, no. I'll pass out. Yeah, and even without words, can already tell he's a tough dude persistent dude willing to put his boot on a messed up foot like that well it's an interesting opening because it's i don't know what the movie explores but the vibe i get is the belief in oneself in

spite of whatever the obstacles are because he's being told he has to get his leg removed he's like i will heal on my own the actual author wrote this these landscapes are gorgeous Yeah, real epic. Last. 1863. How long has it been like this? They've been here for two days. Apple original said.

Is that you, Lieutenant? Whoa. Damn, I want to get down there. What's going on here? It seems to be the question, all right? Just like stumbling into the battle. Could ask you, Major. He's busy trying to figure out

how come the officer's mess run out of a peach-ass tree. know what that means about i sure don't want to be the first one across this field so far the only thing's been killed out here three milk and cow is he gonna you gonna steal that horse gonna grab that horse him you know son boys are same

we ain't gonna fight could you settle this whole business with a little high stakes poker he's gone he's having the hell of a day does have their persistence and perseverance man and what exactly is your objective here oh what the hell is he dumb is he brave look at him go is he delusional it's actually really dangerous riding a horse that fast i'm so confused of what's going on yeah i'm definitely interesting i thought they're like they're on a warground

when some people are cheering like do they have a death wish you should just like put your arms out man surrender release your inhibitions a free spirit

I've definitely seen that shot of him in his hands up oh Oh, I think he's using himself as a distraction, so they can ambush the other side. I think they might have just used that sort of advantage, but I don't, I think he was ready to just die. Is this one of the final battles of the Civil War? That film grain texture adds so much life. This whole day is him going.

He's meant to die. He just can't doubt. Don't take off my foot. You rest easy, son. You'll keep your foot. As God is my judge, you'll keep it. That's my favorite foot. Bring up my ambulance and bring my surgeon with it.

You get an officer who's worth something lying here. I get so fascinated by authenticity details. Saying something like, bring up my ambulance is so different than what you would say today. Yeah, I clocked that as well. I was like, give your own. ambulance? And what does an ambulance look like in the 1800s? I'm trying to produce my own death. I was elevated to the status of a living hero. The bloody slaughter continues in the east as I arrive at Fort Hayes, a tiny island of

men and material surrounded by a never-ending sea of prairie. Wow. It's crazy hearing how young his voice sounds here compared to like what it is in Man of Steel. Is that the only Kevin Costner thing you've seen? Yes. Okay. I'm sure I've seen other stuff, Fizz. I just got to look at his discography or his filmography. No, his music career is the main thing you're thinking. It is a Western epic in just the scope of everything. Everything they've built and designed.

It does feel like you've kind of been transplanted back here. It's pretty gnarly. And I love how, like, wet and sweaty everyone is, too. Lieutenant John J. Dunbar? Yes, sir. Shaved his beard. Well, it says here that you have to be posted on the frontier. The frontier is Indian country.

I quickly deduced that you're an Indian fighter. I did not ascend to this position by being stupid. I don't feel like Dunbar has an idea what you're talking about. Just here. That you've been decorated. And they sent you here to be posted? Actually, sir, I'm here at my own request. I feel like I could smell this movie.

I've always wanted to see the frontier. And does not smell good? Oh, yeah. Yeah, Frontier's probably just like a lot of isolation right now. Such a smart lad coming straight to me. People are moving west. Night. Right.

I'm sending you on a night series of documentaries. Dust it's real. Personal seal will assure your safety through many miles of wild and hostile country. Dangers of the unknown. I was wondering, sir, how will I be getting there? See that peasant out there? He's going to your Fort Sedgwick this very afternoon. You can ride with him if you like.

What the hell was that? This guy's definitely seen combat. I feel like he's just changed so much by this war. I just pissed in my pants, and nobody can do anything about it. That's power right there. That's so weird. What was the point of that? I'm a big boy who pisses in my pants.

No one can piss in my pants but me. That's because I'm the leader. To my journey! Oh, you're drunk. That is what this is. Okay, told you I could smell it The piss There's like no gloss to it

The way it looks You feel like the The heat I even like the detail Like how his curved mustache is actually Kind of uneven It's not like a polished Hollywood stash It's an 1800 stage

I think this guy's about to Call it his last day man Oh my god You're really not too Oh shit Sheesh oh gave it away it seemed like he was on his way

you watch enough movies you start picking up when someone seems like they're about to off themselves but you see how being like a little boy and this is on the living room you're like I'm not watching yeah it's like slow man but as a dog I can appreciate it yeah this is like I'm like five years old like there's no way watching this is dad movie but also because it looks so like gritty and like not glossy it doesn't attract that thing that kids would normally be yeah visually drawn to I'm sure there were kids who were into it though oh I just as in one of them somebody back east says why don't he write three a stupid bastard I love the mindsets he's

surrounded by everyone just kind of lost their mind a little bit they've all just experienced such horrors and they're all like malnourished too Trauma, disease, and malnourish. I'll do that to you. This guy is empty searching for purpose. What hell is that? There is that? He's not amused.

I mean, I guess it's how they had fun back then. I guess so. Plastered. Oh, all right. Best pitcher. Were it not from my companion, I believe I would be having the time of my life. Hey, humor was the last thing I'd expect in a movie like this. Just expect, like, darkness and seriousness, epicness.

Oh, God. Hello. Oh, it's just so dirty. Yeah, the flies don't stop. He took the time to smell him first. Get up. I half expected him to be dead. It's in such poor condition.

Yeah, people just dropped like flies back then. Didn't even make it a 50. Oh, damn. Oh, poke me in my butt. Was that you? No, man. There's the flies. I'm gonna have a wilt.

The horse looks like the animated horse spirit. I never saw that movie, but quite distinct look. Damn, look at these planes. Was this all shot on location? Oh, my goodness. Oh, it's green screen. Wow, that is beautiful. Like shots like this remind me of the beauty of like the cinematic camera of what is able to capture you know

especially when you're doing a movie that takes place during the Civil War where you had like that one flash camera but this is the evolution of cameras here and like this is film lens just you're able to put someone somewhere where you're you otherwise would be able to travel to so beautiful you can't figure What's a stink in Buffalo? Sometimes you won't see any for days. All the times they'll be thick, like curls on a horse. What? What about Indians?

God damn Indians. Nothing but thieves and beggars. I don't know the score is really nice in this movie as well. It's kind of like sweeping and epic. It reminds me of like the Great American Plains. Go down there. Why? There's nothing down there.

As I said. Sending him to test the waters in case it's dangerous. Okay, clearly long abandoned or recently abandoned. There ain't nothing here, Lieutenant. I wonder why the emphasis on the bird. There ain't nothing here, Lieutenant. I wouldn't be so sure about that. Everybody's run off or got killed.

You want to finish chewing before you speak? Manners were not really a necessity back then. Let's unload the wagon. the wagon. I'm staying too. There ain't nothing here, Lieutenant. He wants that. We don't know what's happened.

Well, might as well just turn around and get headed back. This is my post. It's not post. What are you crazy, boy? Jesus, age Christ. This is my post. All right, put it down. Damn.

We're just having a conversation. Now, put it down. Yeah, hurry up, man. Army bread. peaches. Good luck, you, Kenny. Thank you.

Jake and Jim. A jar of eggs are going to fall down. All right. Bye, gross guy. It's like he wants to immerse himself in the loneliness of it all before the expansions happen

and he's aware of it. Time just moves so much slower back then. The post isn't exceedingly poor. condition and i have decided to assign myself cleanup duty beginning tomorrow and the country is everything i dreamed it would be yeah i mean after being launched into war like that i'm sure peace and quiet is all you'd really want yeah post war in i don't have to deal with that guy got a feeling somebody's watching me Is it the Native Americans?

Bad horse. It's a unique tranquility to it. I love the sound capturing all the environment. Wow. Whoa. What the hell? Yeah, you do really get the sense that this man is alone with no person or thing for miles, but except for obviously the small tells that there was somebody here.

Whoa, that's here. Damn. Aw. Is he immediately drawn to conclusion that it was a fight with Native American people? I was gonna cook it. I can eat it. Would the meat still be good? Yeah, I guess they'll be good.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Dada did it do, Tarko, skiske. Surprise our first scene with them. They're presenting them like a villain. Oh, no, no, no, no, what cut. imagine this will be a story about perspectives oh yeah most definitely what they cut the hawks di autonoxy but he used to oh yeah that guys could be a problem but imagine it might be a thing of i don't know the two of them finding common ground despite their differences

that is definitely not done we can't back anywhere rot in the ass Ouch. Ouch. Woof. Gosh. Eish. Just stop.

Just stop moving. He's gonna keep firing at your dog. Oh. Oh. Yeah, he's really getting a long death here. Oh. Hurt my mules. kill a man to steal his eggs oh oh they're scalping him oh no yeah it is interesting how

they're returning them as antagonists so far you know kind of like you were saying villains with just shooting this guy and then taking a scalp we have no context for for them and their culture just you know how they interact with Outsiders. Yeah, but, you know, Americans done to be taking their land a long time ago. I mean, yeah, it's very true. That's not the ones we've adapted so far, but obviously, yeah, that is the larger issue here. I can make no sense of the clues left me here.

Perhaps my relief will provide the answers. No. Oh, be that wolf alone. You want to dance with that wolf? Yeah, you do. Walt's with the wolf. That's a real wolf. A lone wolf like you, man.

But when a bunch of wolves connect, they're not lone wolves anymore, are they? They're a pack? It's been almost 30 days. Still, no sign of Captain Cargill's command. Wow. There is a wolf who seems intent on the goings on here. Has been my only company. He has appeared each afternoon for the past two days.

Hmm. He has milky white socks on both feet. If he comes calling tomorrow, I will name him two socks. What an interesting way to describe a wolf. Interesting humor. Diary Vio. Before the fly comes home, I cannot marry a pretty little girl. Costor wanted his ass out.

Yeah. He's like, now keep this. Don't just save it for the extended cut. goes into theater so much of this seems to be about letting the environment be a character and immersing you into what the lifestyle would be like

so it moves to the patience of that doesn't require move like a movie or a typical movie that is they really want you to like soak it in take its time plus this is a massive contrast to the opening shot of the movie or just like war and blood and Comes home.

Yeah, they had simple songs back. Oh, my God. He has to do this naked. Oh, God. Before this movie, I'm assuming, most westerns had a rather two-dimensional dehumanizing way of portraying Native Americans. Yeah, I feel like this is going to be a film that deconstructs that. oh wow no no it's that white dung scared of it's gonna put it on me you ran away from a fully naked man when you have weapons oh he's got to hide all that shit

oh my god have decided to bury excess ordinance lest it fall into me hands. My afternoon rides have been paired down to short patrols, I was keeping the fort inside. In my land. It's been two days now and nothing. The man I encountered was a magnificent looking fellow. When I looked down, it was hard. I did not expect this. I question my sexuality now. My bull was raging. So just let him go? That actor looks so familiar. I thought that's the guy who died recently.

What's the guy who died recently. Is this a different group, right? I don't think it's the same face paint. Oh, gonna, what a can you haseche? You one block of a actor, what shechu, La Omecchi, what we chak, jiglaka, Okihishet. Oh, that's an open perspective. God, what a cool name. Wow, what a very different belief system.

So just let him be. Okay, he has-ne-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-hhhhhhh. But if it's, no rules. No rules. That shit's sly. It just happens They're talking You won't go out of a pig tailor

Hetch a guy pink tailor Go visit the white man Let him know what has transpired You will pay you in what you value most Just keep your gun on the ground, bro Oh, got another one, all right Okay Are they just

just haunting him right now? Oh, man, why? No! No! Oh, she's shit! You better hope that white boy has medicine. Do you break it? I'm sorry, E.A.

You know, I'm going to be able to dozele. I'm trying to put myself in the mindset of when this came out. Because this is, I imagine it was like a rarity. Now you expect if they're going to have a tribe, you want to portray them with a sense of respect and authenticity. And I could if you know in the comments, please tell me. I could imagine this was one of the

earlier films to really do it. Because they just feel like people and they're having real conversations. You ran out so hard you knocked yourself out. That's an American horse right there. American Stallion. I love that jump. It's always being caught in the middle of something mid-hygienic with these guys.

Uh, make it. You have to pull an Indiana jump. That's his name. Yeah, that's rather tense. their intention is for you to connect with them have perspective all this time i've been waiting for someone to find me for indians to take my horse to see a buffalo his narration delivery is so interesting

there's like no emotion to it it sounds like he's reading from a paper which is granny's writing What are you looking at? It's just so matter of fact. Didn't this movie win the Oscars and stuff? I won Best Picture and Best Director. It's interesting seeing a movie like this that is like an older 90s classic.

It feels like an Oscar-type movie. And then you see something like everything everywhere all at once. It's a totally very different kind of movie. also won an Oscar. It's kind of interesting, the cultural landscape of people's interest in cinema over the years.

Oh, we'll fall in love with her. And her bloody hands. Whose blood is that? An animal, I imagine. That a white one? Yeah, that's the same thing. Yep. Oh, she's harmered...

Your birth, or what's going on? No, wait. Wait. Is she a wady raised by them? Wait. You need help. You need help. No, no.

She's speaking English. You're hurt. Yeah. You're hurt. You're hurt. hybrid between the language native american speaking in english maybe she was already a little girl like an american little girl and then taken oh it's going to return her to i don't know the name of the the tribe the tribe yeah but oh wow okay just stumbled upon them wow wow wow

Oh, beautiful. The horses and the TPs in the distance. Gorgeous. Ah, I rescued you. So stay off my land. This relates to a lot of miscommunication really fast. Oh, definitely. Just got to make yourself.

as non-threatening as he can very quickly so they are ready to attack ready with their weapons wonder how many movies have borrowed the tropes of this movie I feel like the only reason like some of this could be predictable is because we've seen a bunch of movies I was gonna say the only

the only thing I've heard is that a certain blue people franchise pulled from this like people have said like Avatar Ferngoly last samurai and I'm always referenced this I'm like but I've never seen this yeah and those movies get to the main plot a lot faster and like we're almost like an hour and a half in we're an hour and a half in oh it's not she's hurt maybe he does like a tieberry goal because of her no she's hurt but but see her in his hands man

Whoa. Damn. Dude. Dude. That's rude. Yeah, she's clearly not doing well, man. It's killing me. I can't remember this guy's name, but...

Yeah, it's kind of last of us and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Here, yeah. Here, here we have a very different soldier on their hands. Here's a southerner that have a very different soldier on their hands. Very different movie. We'll see that a thaw yon piquetal.

We'll find that a thorough raisin to see in his potatoes out. You chasha, itachua, one kair, on gluonehapelow. Dokehah, what's itchewan. You will go. You will go.

The two men on the opposite sides of the end. Circumstance. Yeah, we haven't seen the people yet that killed his friend. Yeah. Welcome. Welcome. Hi.

come please sit down sit down yeah I will say that the infusion of humor was the thing I was probably least expecting going into this but I'm happy that we have some here and there what is he doing just a minute

trying to stuff his jacket into his shirt watch it good in yellow There you. Here. Yeah. Tonka. Tonka. Thottonka.

Here. Here. Ta-tunka. There you go. Hey. The fierce one, as I call him, seems a very tough fellow. I hope I never have to fight him. From the little I know, he seems to be honest and very direct.

He's been patient and inquisitive. He seems eager to communicate. I would conclude that he is a man of some weight among his people. Oh, he nailed that down way faster than Tatanka. And Tatanka sounds a lot easier to figure out. I believe I made an even greater impression on their next visit. I produced a coffee grinder, something none of them had seen before. Stuff in the face.

Wow, 18th century or 1800s coffee grinder. I'd love to see what that's like. Is the coffee not good? It's too strong, maybe. fake mustache the line on top seems like very pristine um take sure we're up to him you want some say stop cut it out made presence of coffee and most of the sugar it didn't figure to last anyway. Don't believe I'd go too far in saying that a foundation for good relations is being laid.

I'm not going to lie, the first hour was a little slow for me, but I feel like it's just now picking up. I'm getting it. Oh man. I was actually really digging that first hour, but I just saw 2001 in Space Odyssey. That was really slow. I loved it. It's really slow. Husband, part of the tribe?

Did a white man killer, or the other Native American people? The whites are coming. The whites are coming. We chascha who we're staying. We'll see her. Marry him. I mean, she must have been like a

she'll have a child, Oshikia o'clock, what he'll wakishni each and lakotayishni you know. Translate, she must have been like American for a while and then taken in as a kid.

Limishnala, mehishnitka, oh, yate ki, I washti, oh, he chasua, wachin you, so I'm guessing she's probably like our,

uh, Neitiri, I guess. of sorts I think that's I like how you see how you see are you chen

I'm gonna ch'nichael's I think that's her name and avatar yeah it is yeah yeah yeah like how it does start the first indigenous people you see

are you know the Cowboys versus Indians vibe and then they really pull back the veil and I love that you actually take time to cut to

when Kevin Koster's not even around you're just with them Yeah, you're just getting to live in their world outside of what people at the time made it perceive to be the stereotypes. You'll have to remember your whole pass if you want to remember the language. Yeah, it was them. Her name's Christine. Who is it, Willie? They look like Pawnee.

My father and your father are talking to them. What do they want? I don't know. You heard him. Uh-oh. That's not how you talk to them. Dude, ah, aha, no. Is her name.

Oh, damn these guys fight. Mast up. Okay, so I believe that group of people call the Pawnee, which I'm surprised the kid called them by their seemingly proper name. And it shows not all of them are the same. Yeah, that part.

So maybe not all white men are the same. Yeah, it seemed like the parents are trying to go in talking good faith. That's him. Plot twist. Two socks like Cisco has become a trusted

friend. He still won't eat from my hand, but his keen eyes and ears never failed to alert me when something is wrong. You, Dunbar's becoming a lot happier. It started with a scream inside a quiet Maryland home, a mother trying to protect the family dog and her son

in the grip of a violent hallucinogenic rage. By the time it was over, she was dead, and he claimed LSD made him do it. His name, David Minor the 4th, and we talk to him. Listen to to Invisible Choir every other week as we

uncover the most haunting true crimes you've never heard of. Available wherever you get your podcasts. Finally getting some sense of connection. No, I haven't seen any buffalo. Sorry. Oh, man. Once he gets a buffalo, it up go hang out with the tribe yeah oh they're giving them a like a buffalo blanket

are you hungry i have food i have a i have a lot of food it starts with trade he gave that gift with such a serious face Hey, one of them waves. Hey, good faith. They're all like, what you doing, man? Put your hand to. I've thought to inquire about the woman I found on the prairie whether she lived or not. One thing is clear, however, there are no buffalo, and it weighs heavy on their minds.

But once you find that buffalo. It seems I've been invited to the village, and I'm looking forward to going. How happy is, his side position. He's almost kicking his feet out just there. Is he reading his own writing? Yeah, he's really impressed with it. Look what I wrote. Look what I wrote me.

There ain't no buffalo, but you can puff a low. It's just saulia. Talk with the woman. Friend of the channel, I got to tell you something.

Thank you. I feel good. She had to learn how to speak English. She had to learn how to speak this language and pretend like she doesn't know how to speak English. What is your names? Damn, there's a lot of fear she has to overcome right now. Who are kicking, kicking, bird, bird, kicking bird. You got it down.

Yeah. Is he chief? No. Takia-ho. Takia-ho. I'm getting there. He talked. Your name.

What's your name? I don't. How are you called? What's your number? Nishatah. Oh. To. Christine.

Get up. Crossed arms? Stand. Stand. Stans? Stans. Your name stands? With.

With? With. Fist? Stands with a fist. I'm John Dunbar. John Dunbar. Nowhere in there is cool. John Dunbar.

Dumb bear. Dumb bear. He knew what he was saying. Oh, yeah. Dumb ass. Dumb bitch. This guy speaks perfect English. It's going to be one of those tropes.

He's pretending like he has spoke English's whole movie. There has been an exciting breakthrough with the Indians. A woman among them speaks English, and today, clear progress was made. For some reason, I'm reluctant to answer all their questions. It's all that built-in fear you had a prior. I look forward to another visit with my neighbors, but this is still my home. I remain watchful for my relief and can only hope that my negotiations here will bear fruit. The irony that you go into a civil war where you can't get along with your own people.

that you're fighting them and then now you start finding connection with the ones you've been taught to fear your whole life yeah that's a good point oh is the buffalo is the buffalo season very well could be buffalo quake you got to get like 20 buffalo man so you just got to hop on one and ride you got to get your assault rifle start grenading up them buffaloes I've ever seen a buffalo in real life? I've seen 10. Are you serious? I saw one of those crazy pettings who once.

Oh. Damn, this film is shot so wonderfully. God damn. I love seeing him amongst the smoke and the light blue. Buffalo's in the darkness. Well, you've got to grab one, man. It's easy. Just grab one.

Just say stop, Buffalo. Put your mouth in it. Oh, man, he's going to win so many brownie points. It is interesting to compare it to the movies that have been inspired from this film because a lot of those other movies have some, like, crazy world stakes or war thing happening. and this is just about the heart and the communication and the lifestyle and the learning of a different culture that's usually that's usually the thing that comes in

that's like that's the heart of the movie but there's like action and shit this is just about that yeah more grounded more simple not end of the world stakes or anything there you go there you go yeah my man oh we love you i mean though they did establish he's waiting for his people so i imagine they're going to still be overcome have that fear and then it's going to be like some sort of battle thing

thank you the tanker yeah the tank of lilo they like attack him i thought they were celebrating his nose is bleeding so maybe they're just real aggressive with it Wow, they're migrating. Got the TV, TPs and packed them up. The efficiency of the people and the speed at which they moved was enough to impress any military commander. Spirits are high and overnight I have gone from a person of suspicion to one of genuine standing. That's so cool. Yeah, man.

In short, I have become a celebrity. Lieutenant. That his name? Tentan. Lieutenant. Lieutenant Is that the way of saying Lieutenant?

That's what I was just thinking, yeah. Or is it an actual word we don't know? It sounds like Lieutenant, but I don't know, they just started calling him this scene. What are these music cues? Can't quite tell. Oh, no. Who took out the box?

Buffalo. Oh, my God. Oh, the other tribe probably. Skinned them too. Dang. It's the predator from Prey. I was, yep. I was just thinking that. Sheesh. That's sad. Who would do such a thing? The wagon

tracks leading away left little doubt and my heart sank as I knew it could only be white hunters. Damn. You racist, you assumed it was the other tribe. But I have to imagine And this tribe honors the entire Buffalo. So to use it for like sacrifice.

I don't know if they understood, but I could not sleep among them. There had been no looks and there was no blame. There was only the confusion of a people not able to predict a future. Wow. And you're just in some ways naturally a part of the side that will slowly dwindle down their numbers over time too and put their people in the shadows even more. whoa oh my god so many he probably had the shame too of just being an american yeah white man

that white guilt back it up back back it up actually real Buffalo or they had to CGI them. I hope they're real. I don't know if computer-generated effects were where they needed them to be yet at this point. It wasn't until like Terminator 2 in Jurassic Park, but they started really becoming a staple in Hollywood

and this was before them. Could be wrong, though. Could be way wrong. They are endangered. On how much cultural research they did before, you know, going in production. Just all vibes. Yeah, it's probably right.

I just winged it from the mind of Kevin Costner. Something so sweeping and lush about this music. Yeah, it is. Not quite like war epic, but like grand and in sweeping. Whoa. Wow. How is that one light one amongst the bunch? this is insane wow they're actually doing that shoot this oh my god this looks complicated

even though they're going to kill the buffaloes as well i imagine they're more of like a spiritual basis for why they do it and then yeah like i don't know re-honor them or something something to that effect That's nuts. Is that actually Kossner? Yeah. I definitely. I definitely understand. Especially the time.

And it's really conflicting for my vegetarian brain right now. historical piece but yeah it is uh is really sad i hope we get that line of text no actual buffaloes are harmed in the making of this film yeah hopefully they should have a pop up on screen right now you careful oh no that buffalo has it out for them oh shit Oh, this is going to get a heap of praise now. I mean, you were, you were a kill in them, so of course he's going to try to kill you. Oh, not short breathing. That's horrible.

Are you all right? Are you all right? Jesus, Jesus, okay. They could just eat Cite Hill Greek non-dairy yogurt. Yeah, guys, it better. Figure it out. What the heart?

Get the first bite, buddy. Eat it raw. Don't, yeah, take first bite. What is that? Don't be disrespectful now. come on take a little nibble take a real bite be a fucking man came this far a big bite I love the way they're able to connect there not without words and earn respect I think this guy's gonna die just throwing it out there could die could die

I think they're never going to be bros, but I feel like he's going to die later in this movie. He's going to sacrifice himself for him. Do you want to try it? You want to try it? Try it on. Uh-oh. Here. That's the bone out.

You try that on. Aw. This is awesome. Oh, hell yeah. Get your hair out the way, buddy. Okay, good. Hey, how good look. You guys can culturally appropriate each other.

It's a joke, you sensitive to watch. I can't. It's too much. You got to braid Kevin Conch's hair now. This is a good trade. No, no, I can't. I'm full. I'm tired.

No. No, gee. Just one more time. One last time. Margie, come on, man. No, no, no, see? He's so sick of this. He's so sick of this.

I'm wearing his hat. You're wearing my hat. You had, like, gestures, man. Oh. My hat. Let's make it awkward. He's got a sense of pride with it. Lieutenant.

Yeah. Chishalakai Yawalya, what I get chien, he's got a sense of pride with it. He's got a sense of pride with it. Charlie, and you ha, slow yampi. Hetcher yachi,

Taki, Taki, and I kipea. Is it going to be good enough? Is it going to be good enough? What's the day? Trey. I'm starting at his hat. It's like a forever secret Santa.

Yeah, I guess so. Oh, our priest is getting it on. Oh, she's staring at him. a problem? Oh, is he saying goodbye to them? We had hunted for three days losing a half a dozen ponies and only three men injured. Not bad. Many times I felt alone, but until this afternoon, I'd never felt completely lonely.

Once you have it, then it's gone. It's taken on their culture. Dance with him, Wolf. The only two days, it seems like a week, and I'm missing the company of my new friends i can see all of their faces but somehow it is not enough tomorrow i will make an unannounced visit after all they are my neighbors what can it hurt oh no so worried he's got bump into the other tribe oh the wolf is going with him now hey god go home go where's buddy or his home good wolf I thought that wolf could turn on you at any second oh my god yeah

hell out of you oh okay oh okay it is autumn now and i'm spending more time than ever with my friends they have given me my own lodge and i feel comfortable there wow one day there will be too many but i cannot bring myself to tell him that i'm sure that stands with a fist knows that i I'm holding back. Yeah, exactly. You've got a warn-up, man, so they can prepare. Which side will you be on? Obviously, the white side.

At the power. Want to be on the winning side. They are my friends. And from what little I gather, the ponies have been very hard on these people. You have a hard time speaking up. I hope I have not overstepped my bounds. What is that? He has a hard time.

He was guilty. So much of, I cannot bring myself to say this thing and I need to say. Yeah. It's time to tell them. Kiki Lourg wants to know why you want to make war on the pony. Oh. They have done nothing to you. They are Sioux enemies.

I got to remember that. It must be a real tribe. Only Sioux warriors to go. Yeah. He said that the Sioux way of being a warrior is not a is not the white way you are not ready not the white right way he also asked that you watch over his family while he is gone ah this thing he asks is a great honor for you tell him that i would be happy to watch over his family huh he'll khihi he thanks dances with wolves for

coming who's dances with wolves you are It is the name which all the people are calling you now. Hey. How do you say it? Chumani Tutanka obachi. Go with dance rules. Shumani Tutanka. Shumani Tunker.

Who would have thought the dance rules is his name. I mean, given they've had titles as names, I was just guessing I was going to get there. Oh, really? I didn't think I'd put that together. Kicking Bird stands with a fist. I'm like, yeah, it's going to be some sort of title rather than. than like a formal last name first name situation okay oh she's learned to enjoy it so worried about that guy with the jacket she's come a long way since the beginning i'm also

worried about what that might invite if the ponies see that oh i cut this off you said fire lives on the prairie i did no no laughing no How did you get your name? One day she was calling me these bad names with her face and my face, and I hit her. Definitely. I was not very big, but she fell down. She fell hard and didn't move. Oh, you killed her?

I stood over her, my fist, and asked if there was any other woman who wanted to call me a bad name. No one bothered me after that day. Yeah. No, I wouldn't think so. So any y'all can get it. Oh, it's a bag. Okay. Show me where you're here.

Ha ha ha ha. Why are you not married? Wow. Why right for it? I'm sorry. I have to go. Ruin the moment. Don't bear.

Now she just shy Well, they said her husband was killed, right? Damn, his language is speaking up so fast. Takuja, sloyaya, that'shi-oh. Oh, yeah, yeah. They did say that earlier. Washi-a-piki le taku slova-shnielo. Damn, his language is picking up so fast.

Do it's a un-chante-she-chah-hu-o. Can't try this guy. This guy gossips. This guy gossips. When must be over him? It's not her place? She's not her place. Ah.

Then you'll be the quiet. You're done being sad now. Uh-oh. Where do you go? She also looks in my own. Is it a lie? Where do you go? He said, look after him.

Look after the family. I don't care. That would deal. You just disrespect a kicking bird, man. I don't know what's more impressive. The fact that he learned the language or the fact that his foot is okay. okay learn the language yeah because he was talking to him in the native language yeah i'm saying i'm answering your question oh this feels messed up they were about to amputate it earlier but he's

walking he's walking fine i think it's much harder to learn a language to heal a foot yeah he had to learn a language without being without having anyone really with much english to help him oh wait no that he wasn't laughing from his journal. No, no, it is. That is his journal. That's right. He draws in it, my bed. That will be the name of my book when I release my memoirs. I think there's a heart on the horse, like, sort of harness there. Aw. I bet you were thinking, now, why don't you write?

I'm really worried something that would happen. Hello, two socks. Hmm? I'm really concerned. Oh, they're just going to connect. It's fine. Sweet moment. It's okay.

It's a good moment. It's finally going to learn to eat from his hands. It's like the closer it becomes with this wolf, the closer it becomes with himself, or his identity becomes clearer. Symbolism. Aw. Oh. Wow. It's like all my squirrels and possums.

Yeah. I've seen two new movies and we're just gonna get like shot for no fucking reason damn where did they film all this oh my goodness are we gonna find that one she was bleeding earlier I am mourning oh wow take advantage of that morning

oh the extent it cuts 40 minutes and then banging did anyone see us hair is even more wild than his. Wow, look at that reflection, holy shit. With the horses in the background. Is that real? I think it's real.

Oh, my God. Damn, what a shot. Oh, it's so pretty. Aw, they're holding hands now. And then when she has the baby. Ooh. Oh, wrap the leg around them.

We can't. We can't. We mustn't. Okay, a little bit more. She's so conflicted. Now he directed he was like, you got to be all over me. And I want you to call me Kevin during this take.

Oh. Oh, do they not actually sleep together last time? No, they're just making out. Hey, you had all like Kevin Koster's ass but can't see hers. Can you imagine if he had gone off to fight the Pawnee? We'll be able to do all this stuff. Pony.

All right, guys, got to put the clothes back on. Oh, shoot. I will go. I will go. Yeah, watch it. What a blue and yellow. Lila. Lila.

Lita, they don't know how to use them. You should have to train them for this. You have to be hard place, but you got to pair them for something like this. And they smile. Bring your grenades. C-4. Cannons, your chaff grenade. Your atomic bombs.

Rocket launcher. It goes all your stuff, man. That's right, he buried everything. Hopefully you marked where it is. Our human bodies out here when we're exposed to too much rain, we can get sick easily, but their bodies back then must be in other parts of the world, too, are much more adaptable, and they can adapt pretty well. Yeah, no, it's interesting how, you know, different people in different areas can adapt to, you know, natural circumstances, but there are certain tribes that have kind of been closed off that haven't been exposed to the rest of the world. that are forbidden to go to because if they're exposed to someone from our world, they'll get sick easier because their systems aren't adapted to be prepared for something like that.

That's why I go visit them. Time to build immunity, guys. I was very curious how they were to capture the shot in the rain, given that they're in a wide open field somewhere like this. Oh, my goodness. Beautiful shots, man. I hope it won cinematography as well. oh no so mean there are too many dead animals in this movie yeah man why even kill

the dogs whoa damn damn damn shoot the gun I just said that in Pawnee oh man oh this is this is a conflicting looking image man if I'm gonna equip them with the with guns. It is interesting watching something like this where obviously out in like wide open fields with hippies and stuff and then the introduction of American weapons and American materials or how that changes Native American culture

and something like Killers of the Flower Moon seeing like what I guess American culture or like new American culture and how it influenced how they operate essentially. Damn, how'd you shoot that? That's the movie movement.

That's everything so authentic until that one moment. Oh, no. Oh, two. Jeez. This guy. He plays so many bad guys. He plays so many bad guys. Reload faster.

Hurry, kids. Ooh, that is a ruthless weapon. Yeah, run away. Oh, he's surrounded. Come on, there's so many of you. Got you surrounded. He's the baddest one of the mall. Take him out, but not the horse, please.

Oh. He got his ass. Oh, man. There's something so, like, unsettling about seeing all the guns, but. This was not a fight for territory or riches or to make men free. It had been fought to preserve the food stores that would see us through the winter. To protect the lives of women and children and children and loved ones only a few feet away. Instruction versus preservation.

But even the old men could not remember such a one-sided victory. And I gradually began to look at it in a new way. Even the odds, man. I'd never really known who John Dunbar was. Perhaps the name itself had no meaning. But as I heard my soon name being called over and over, I knew for the first time who I really was. I am, dances with wolves.

It would be so cool to have a name that's a verb. Yeah, right. Yeah, what are you? And our team, when our main guys, like, went off to battle. What happened to them? They went up to fight the Pawnee. Yeah, it was a different sector of the Pawnee? I don't know.

We haven't seen them yet. It is an interesting sort of thing to have a movie that subverts the, I guess, not traditional, but the stereotypes of Native Americans and humanize one side but not really give time to another side of that. Well, I think in our culture, especially back then and in cinema, a lot of it would just lump all Native Americans in a one cat, they'd all be the same. They're all Indians, you know, they're all bad Indians, Cowboys versus Indians. And I think showing that you could, they're just like how it starts off with the Civil War where they're Americans and there's two different sides. Good and bad. There could be good and bad in all cultures. That's true. one guy's perspective and experience on a subculture of Native Americans or a certain tribe rather than lump them all in together. I mean, but our people, the group we're following has more humane values, though.

From the perspective, what we're saying, but we don't really know the Pawnee side all that much. Seems like whenever the Pawnee show up, they're like, fucking kill them. Yeah. It's like kill first, ask questions later. Until she sleeps with dances with wolves. It's interesting, yeah, the fact that the father determines how long she mourns for it. It's such a... I'd like to know more about that.

It's something that we should adopt. It has culture. 100%. You don't get to decide when you're sad. I do. There were no signs. And in nine months from now, you will see a baby. And their children will be standing with wolves and dancing with fists.

I suppose they did a wide shot of all the other people around them. as they're just laying there. Damn, what a cool damn, what a cool culture. Yeah, man. Cut that crying out. You're free.

I mean, there's too much moping out here. This generation needs to man up. Sack up. Oh. Is this a marriage? Is this a marriage? Get that. He wasn't even trying to get her at first. He was really trying to get her at first.

which is very much the norm from back then. He's a very much the norm for back then. He's a very non-traditional man. Wow, look at that Blurring glow I had never been married before But as kicking bird began to speak About what was expected of a Sue husband My mind began to swim in a way

That shut out everything but her That would have been bad if it was not over Yeah, sir Yes Go make love right now For the first time, make love Oh good Oh good

We will cheer you on for outside the tent As you consummate your relationship Nope, they're all going to be there They're all going to be there I was going to say Do you think they believed in you know men Eat an ice cream back then, you know, in the tents. It's a sinner's reference.

Did they eat ice cream in center? Cuddolingus. I never heard of that flavor. Wow, look at him. He's got all that, man. He's full in, man. He's feathered up. Soon as his American boy is going to have an accent.

I'm Jake Sully. I was just going to say that. He's full Sully now. That's good. He's got a level of him about the other white men. Well, now that I'm married into your family. How many? You're telling me this now?

How many? Yes, in English. All of them. Like the stars. Wow. There's a lot of stars back then because no light pollution. We chompi, we chumpi, Lakotaki, Tanta Hapi, Nihimichiello. What a sad thing to contend with.

That when they first came here. Settlers. Spaniards. Yes, there's nothing for me there. That's good. Oh, no, they can let them find the journal. The words in the book are like a trail for people to follow. Now, it tells everything about my life here.

I must get it. I need a bright orange. Maybe it's like blood stain or something. I'll catch up. I would change out of that. Yeah. Just in case. Ah, that's really hard.

I'm sure they lost one husband. Man, he really had a grip on the camera on this one dude. Like he had a vision to try to capture the film. Yikes! Yo, that's a lot of people. There's a lot of people. Take off that shirt. Oh no.

Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Jesus, no! No! No! To speak to, oh, no, there's a horse! No! Why is the horse getting all the bullets? Damn!

Oh, that poor horse. Aw, so sad. Why there's so many dead animals in this movie? Because Kevin Costner hates Peter. Oh, go hot. Hey, boy. had a real connection with it oh damn why that was unnecessary I'm gonna try to go say that I feel yep

yeah those guys seem like the kind of guy who were dying a movie like this who are you John J Dunbar this is my post why you dress like this came out from four Hey's last April but there was nobody here do you have proof of that my journal's on the bunk in my quarters are in the journal it'll tell you everything did you find anything no where's Edwards he's outside turned engine didn't you didn't you that's fucking ugly Oh, there's a horse just can't fucking eat it. I said it.

Oh, god, shoot! Get it! Get it! Oh, get it! Get it up! Get it up! Get him! With the butt of the rifle?

Oh, my God. Ugh. Ugh. Kind of reflective of the opening. Yeah, no way. Harrison Ford in that shot. A little bit. Why you're out of uniform?

What's the Army doing out here? Hey, the tenant's asking the questions. Bauer. I don't recognize any of these actors. We're charged with apprehending hostas. Was it? Retrieving white captives taken in hostile ratings. There are no hostiles.

We will ascertain that. for ourselves. Now if you'll guide us to these camps and serve as an interpreter, your conduct will be re-evaluated. Ah, fuck. Jesus. Your status as a traitor might improve should you choose to cooperate with the United States Army. There's nothing for you to do out here. Well, speak up. Shumani to Tanka Oboachimi me yellow.

some shit the bell to her drama historicals generally on the tuesdays all right aaron tell me all your feelings are concise precise decisive feelings. I thought it was a very well-made film about an important time in history that is not traditionally covered, at least not widely. It was informative about giving a different perspective on what it means for someone to be an enemy or perceived enemy and learning how to, you know, ingrain and then appreciate somebody's culture, even if it's different from your own. and yeah it was it was done very well the scores were beautiful the performances were really strong the the landscapes were sweeping and beautifully shot and yeah i understand why this is a film

hollywood classic definitely have that sort of old hollywood uh feel to it well bringing in against a culture that's not traditionally shown at least at this point point seemingly in a positive or protagonistic light. Yeah, I thought it was really strong. The first hour was, you know, informative. He had a little on the slower side for me. I was never like bored or checked out, but I definitely felt the pacing. And once he kind of got into the vicinity of the people, it really kind of picked up for me.

And I really started to become invested. um ingratiated to the the culture and the people that we were learning about and spending time with i thought it what did you not like about it what i not like about it um i don't know if i didn't specifically didn't like and i don't know if i particularly didn't care for anything um yeah i don't know that you got you wish you got more of uh oh uh i think maybe just getting more of the the Pawnee and their perspective because I know we're trying to part of the intent of the film is to destigmatize Native Americans as a whole and I just thought it was interesting how we're getting the perspective of you know this one group and you know destigmatizing them we're on the other

side with the ponny we're not really doing any of that and they're just like kind of just like these killers that like kill first and attack and just like are causing all this this pain and destruction So I feel like maybe getting a little bit more nuanced perspective As to where both sides are coming from Because there's multiple sides in the story But yeah, it was really about them So I'd say that's my only like small criticism But other than that, I thought it did a really good job

What about you, man? I agree with everything you've said Everything is about the movie I see why it's held up Like while we were watching it I was trying to put myself consistently in the in the person i mean i let it go kind of like halfway through but i was it's easy to you know predict certain plot points that might happen not everything was predictable there were some stuff that was

certain beats some stuff that i did predict that it's completely did not happen at all and that's because a movie that was this influential in cinema has influence other films so much to the point that i'll hear this movie referenced when experiencing those movies without having seen the actual source which is this film so to like you know get films like avatar and fern gully and whatever the fuck else comes out it's kind of like this it is cool to actually last samurai was another one that i heard reference a lot i could definitely see the last samurai inspirations happening here so it was cool to dissect where it was all coming from but it actually ended up giving a very different experience because it's a western i expected a little bit more

westerny stuff you know and it wasn't that at all actually like there was no real like the violence when the violence was there it was violence it wasn't like an action scene you know it was just trying to be cool wasn't trying to be cool at all even though sometimes you would get like oh that's a cool shot of them writing or whatever the sequence itself was meant to be something kind of disturbing and ugly no matter what version of violence that we were actually getting outside of the hunting of the buffalo uh that was the only one that was like wow look how beautiful it is killing these buffalo outside of that every every other scene was was pretty um dark but yeah um the score was strong it was emotional and lush you were saying very sweeping throughout a lot of it and i concur with that

The themes of being about identity, transformation, I thought hit home. You know, like, it's cool to see this film do it in a way that's so well executed because, you know, we've all heard the white savior trope. And we've seen that kind of made fun of in movies like Avatar and Last Samurai than to watch this movie and that didn't even cross my mind until right now. Oh, yeah, that is kind of a thing that's happening here. But it's not done in a way that is disrespectful or negating because the tribe, which I can never commit to memory, I mean, on Google it says Lakota, I guess we'll call them that, but the Lakota Sioux tribe, they're not a real tribe. Either way, the way they, okay, what is it saying? The tribe in the film Daswolds is a fictional band of the Lakota Sioux, not a real tribe. Uh-huh.

It's a cool post. It's supposed to be like Comanche setting. Okay. Whatever. All right. Well, either way. Culturally, they were presenting indigenous people, Native Americans, in a way that I totally, I would like put my firm bet on it, that this was one of the earlier films to truly portray a culture without making them a cliche or one-dimensional. I mean, the Pawnee are kind of like sort of that I put the actual group that we're with for most of it.

You know, you see seeing what their culture is like and how that actually influences because of the breadth of this film, because of how long it is, and because of how they let nature and environment and the isolation of the frontier, all that be a character along with the experiences there. You really feel the gestation of time. I bought into him being a part of this group. One little criticism is that I thought the narration was a little funny. Like at times it seemed like some of the lines were meant to be kind of funny, especially with the timing of when they would sometimes come in. And I get it.

It could have been goofy Civil War type of, my dearest Abigail, it could have been some shit like that, or it could have been too dramatic. So I imagine Kevin Costa was going for that just dry realism when you're just jotting shit down. But sometimes it did read like kind of weird a little flat. Yeah, it sort of sounds like he's reading from like a school presentation or something at some parts. Yeah, I didn't feel like he was putting his emotions and thoughts into the page when he was journaling. Yeah. It seemed like he wrote something and was reading it back.

You know what I mean? Yeah. I think part of me would have maybe wanted some more of what brought him to this state of, you know, being ready to die in the beginning of the movie to really kind of showcase that transformation from you know not wanting to be a part of what's going on to finding a sense of tribe and belonging really i thought i mean i thought it was serviceable but i felt like i started to really care about him once he got involved and i wish i would have like been more immediately caring about him from the jump i i guess the my my american history

is so very limited in what I actually know or have committed to memory from whatever education I've ever gotten. But to me, considering that it's the civil war, he's not like a general, you know, he's not like one of the higher ranking officers here. And, you know, he's about to lose his leg for a fight that, you know, it's a, the idea that it's a civil war,

you're fighting with your own brothers in the same country. and that then you then you cut around to the kind of people that that he's with showing the way the mind and soul has been corrupted in this fight you know a necessary fight that we had even though maybe we could have chosen a different path of going about it you know just like a voting process or some shit but you know we had to fight it out and with that fight it you see how they've all changed some of them seem they've gone like really crazy and so to me i felt like everything that was inferred was strong enough to get that of course this guy was just feeling kind of empty and lost and kind of felt like he fought for it didn't even seem like the reason when you're that when you're that knee deep i think in the in the fight like that you even lose sight of the whole point of the fight like they don't even bring up the point of the civil war they they don't even bring up the point of the fight and you and you kind of i think you lose side of that

and which was an interesting choice to do because that was obviously stemmed from slavery and fighting for human rights and then he gets thrust it into the lifestyle and then you see like this kind of hypocrisy right where they're fighting for the north he's fighting on the north the north the north is fighting for human rights yeah fucking black people but then fucking indian people show up in that we've called Indian people you know that and and they're like savages you got to kill them and it's like wait a minute this is so this is so counteractive to what we fought for to the whole from the whole time you know what I mean so I kind of feel like the point um at least for me on my on my personal

level I thought it was a German home but I actually do get where you're we're coming from at the same time yeah I feel like you know obviously this movie compared a lot to avatar and you know not to make this reaction or this review about that but I think the thing that emotionally hit for me with someone like a like a Jake Sully is the fact that he was like this guy who was disabled and he was like he brought on to this program he was like he was like he was an underdog and then infusing the this quality of something being an underdog through and then giving them a sense of purpose through through culture I feel like was what made that character endearing and I feel like yeah he was we know that he was somebody who was in the war here and he kind of didn't know what he was fighting for maybe I don't know maybe a little bit of that underdog quality could have been added when granted you know that's i don't know how much this is based on something but i was in the beginning i was like okay yeah he's a guy who like we started off showing the fact that he was going to lose his leg and i don't want to be a little bit more history before that point or like giving some more context and like who he is or his reputation or

something so i think would have um would have added something for me but i think again like eventually I did get there seeing him interact with his environment, seeing how gracious he was and how open he was to the people rather than viewing them as enemies off the bat. I thought that was yeah, he proved himself to be a very likable lead.

Well, yeah. I like the way the world is illustrated. It felt so real because of its pacing, it transports you back into that time, which I loved because it feels like it's transferring you back into a time yet they're clearly shooting on location in real spots so the history is still it makes the history feel even more alive because they're just using real locations to bring the past back without having to set dress it with a bunch of stuff too which i thought was really impressive and i thought the experience it was it's weird it's like to apply the word epic is interesting because it's epic in the way it's shot in the scale but it's not really like a

epic film yeah epic it when you usually say the word epic it's like you imagine you know fucking battles and you know big action scenes usually or like massive set pieces or something right you know it's the movie's like sweeping it intimate at the same time yeah it's kind of it's contemplative i would say meditative even it's uh reflective and i i enjoyed it quite a bit I like Kevin, I mean, don't get me wrong. As much as I had criticism about the narration, I actually like his performance a lot. I think his performance is really good. And the other characters, too, wooden the hair, there was so much acting that had to be done via just through, like, even though we got subtitles as audience members, they only had body language to communicate with.

And you had to buy into it as, it's because there's kind of a cheat code. like as an audience we're able to see what's going on both perspectives because there's subtitles but we have to buy that none of these guys have subtitles for each other and their communication has to evolve over the course of film they have to understand each other in the heat of the moment too and i bought into that at all times which gets you endeared to the characters you know even though like okay of course when i thought one in the hair guy would die but he doesn't but you know eventually that relationship's going to come around and the way it did come around i was really moved by. The relationship with stands with a fist, again, predictable, like the second

she popped up, kind of guess her whole background, and that they would, we all, like, they're going to fall in the one white chick here, you know. But I was good, and dear to it. I was connected to it. You know, I was connected to a lot of it. And I thought this, this whole thing was a good illustration of progress versus tradition. And making our own choices as well. And, and, you know, and forming our own identities along the way. I thought there's a lot of beautiful things to be had with it. I think my dad really liked it because he went to Japan and he clearly was obsessed with Japan

and wanted to be part of Japanese culture very, very bad. And I think that's what he saw himself in here. I don't know. That's just my guess. Trying to guess, like, why my dad loved this movie? As I was watching it, I was like, why don't he love this so much? I can't quite pinpointed. Did your dad love Last Samurai?

i think he did i don't know i don't know this stuff i mean this was like what it came out you got to understand like when this came out this this was like groundbreaking cinema really oh man yeah i mean granted the way of a shot it's like oh my god i can only imagine watching this on a big screen now sweeping it must have been like let's i mean we don't have any questions this is like up a couple of fun chervia stuff here uh yeah okay so yeah 19 this came on 1990 so oh man the year i was born shit interesting poster tells you nothing about the movie one seven oscars directing and star uh-huh let's go to the facts it's great to the facts baby inside everyone is a frontier way to be discovered the real frontiers inside the lakota nation adopted kevin coster as an

honorary member because of how well that that's what i mean that's that's that's normally back then, you know, fucking Native American people were like, you guys portray us very racist. That's really cool, you know. Oh, the wolf, they really stood with two socks. It was so touching, too. I thought that was beautiful. Yeah. There were two different wolves.

Oh, he earned his trust. Okay, to prevent any animal possible animal cruelty, Kevin Kosser's TIG production spent $250,000 on animatronic Buffalo. That's what I was wondering, too. As I've heard they actually, my brother taught me this fact,

very recent where sometimes they would do extras and then they would put blowup dolls not like sex dolls but like blow up dolls so that way if you're mixing in real extras or some blow up dolls it makes it look like there's more extras and it makes the blow up dolls look real so I was watching I was like they must have mixed in like

animatronic or puppet buffalo with some real buffalo to make it look real the damn $150,000 a lot of money that's expensive he did most of his own writing quarter mill wow okay well I don't know he wrote it too wow Yeah, co-wrote it.

Well, the author, I guess the script, the credited writer on it was only the author. That's interesting. Wow, none of the actual characters, the actors knew how to speak the Lakota language. They have to learn it. Damn, that's really impressive. I wanted to see, like, why was, I'm just trying to find if there was, like, any of my things about why it was, wow, the first code, this still was five and a half. Oh, goodness. Where's that version?

I'm curious to know what they cut out. Yeah, it was a whole thing we could watch. Oh, that's cool. So Michael Blake, originally it was written as a screenplay. And then Costner came across it in 86 and he said turn it into a book. That way it would have a higher chance of being made into a film. Oh, wow. That's smart.

Damn, Costner, you a businessman. man you turn it into a buck so he could turn it into a movie yeah that's smart yeah that's really smart wow there were 3,500 animals in that scene and but the bison that's crazy plane's the largest horror hurt north america let's just type it on google a i why was dances with wolves influential controversial so well received respectful and humanized for child Native Americans there you go

flaws is dignity revitalization of the Western genre oh okay I can imagine that stunning visuals productions yeah strong performances yeah see a lot of the reasons

why they're saying are things that you kind of expect out of films today when they're covering a subject yeah and this movie seemed like we're going to do that when no one else is really asking us to

yeah we're on like the the renaissance of, like, films getting their dues and cultural respects and whatnot. But I wonder, like, what the problems are with the movie. Why is it culturally bad now? Well, one of the things you popped up said, why is it controversial. Yeah, yeah, let's get, let's see why it's canceled now.

Uh-huh. Yeah. The color language is in the accurate. laughable. It was close enough for me. And I don't speak it. Who's Nathan chasing horse? He was accusing some shit. Oh. Well, damn.

Okay, yeah. The, uh, okay, the portrait of the Pawnee. Yeah, I feel like they could be used some more nuance on the Pawnee side. It seems a little counterproductive if you're going to make a movie about how humane they are, but also depict another faction as like, the people the thing that people are expecting them to be woke hit me now comments all right well i give it an eight out of ten i give it two thumbs up cody price

kevin costler's a great actor but he isn't even better producer and director is shown by his oscarine directing debut would dances with wolves debut i didn't know that is there any ip man or genre that you would like to see kevin coster take on as either a producer or director after seeing this film right now he's got this film called horizon zero done didn't he come out with like a movie recently that was like super long like yeah and it was like already shot two parts to it and it bombed right yeah it was like super expensive and looking for another you know he's working on part three oh my god yeah it is uh it is his like baby and it is not going well in terms of financial success horizon american saga

yeah how long is that a lot of his own money in that they're long they're they're seen him no no but they are not well received oh no they are not I mean I don't plan on reacting to it but maybe one day I'll watch it um I don't know what other thing would he do

it would be cool to see a samurai movie from that's a three hour movie as well 50% and 70% he really loves some cowboy stuff in westerns I'd like to see him do a samurai film or it would be kind of cool to see him do something that's a little bit earlier in time period now like Nolan's going back to doing like the Odyssey which is of course mythical but something kind of like in that realm it'd be since he's a sucker for trying to bring a historical sense to

life I'd be down for that that would be pretty cool see a western sci-fi movie Kevin Costner it's the same concept but in space that's good for me here Gabriel, our audience on Patreon is not having any questions for this one. No, they didn't see it. Kevin Costa does not actually dance with wolves in this movie. Is it false advertising? Just for fun. Love you guys.

Yes, it is. Yeah. He dances around the wolf. Kind of, yeah. He's kind of chasing it, and the wolf walks him down. I guess that's dancing to some people. It's a good advertiser for a Patreon. See?

You guys are the advertisement for it. This is the kind of questions you can ask if you join our Patreon. In-depth, detail questions. that drive our discussion to elevating us above just a reaction channel into true territory. High art here, baby.

Like how this movie is false advertising for not having Kevin Costor actually dance with a wolf. We're rioting as we speak to the studios. And Jay Russian has the ultimate question. Question, ever been to a Native American reservation?

Nope. It's called America. No, never been. No. No, I don't know they have casinos and stuff that some of them nearest american native american reservation in los angeles let's go there to los angeles it's high it's focusing on the inn oh god stupid a be better so technical where's this give me the address i'll tell you formal address okay of course they do it's in california callie we're going to see how far this is this is good this is good advertised for the patreon it's going to take a filter up there this is called content how far we got to drive

dude i got this it all those two hours 13s all right we're prime traffic time but hey it's a straight shot damn near like that it's not too bad you have san bernadino it's like 66 miles from us yeah it's not that's kind of got the redlands that's doable before the redlands oh erin i don't want to go i do a companion piece of this video as we go yeah let's correct all the wrongs that kevin costerton portrayed his movie we'll just interview them How did you feel about dancing with wolves and just put a camera up, uh, mic in their face. Yep. Yep.
