Good Movies You would Recommend Others to Watch

[abbydoss1969]

Dances with the wolves is not western! It is anti-western.
It is made from the Point of view of the native Americans. Traditional westerns are made from the Pov of white guys, trying to conquer the frontier, with the natives being the villians.

That's pleasantly surprising AND interesting.
Wish HW made war movies also without imposing the American viewpoint. We do have (anti)war movies like Platoon, but at worst they glorify American genocide and at best take into account only the Amercian cost of war, and not the costs of the victims

Even in Apocalypse Now, the story has just two view-points - that of the Americans and the French.

Hi,
There is an interesting story behing making of DWW,It was written as a novel by the author 15 years before the movie was made living in trailer vans etc.After he met, Kevin costner, he remade it into a screenplay and even with KC, it took more than ten years to find a producer because it was so unconventional.And it was not produced by the big studios, but by an independant producer.
That kind devotion is hard to find, here or in holly wood,
War movies generally made for jingoistic audiences, like Gadar, Border etc.
I have not seen Apocalypse Now, it is any better?
