Watched this movie a last semester and today, its based on book by Dee Brown. Kinda reflects on mankind actually. Human ego, to think that one is better of the other and force ones values upon another , the "uncivilized"; a favor they say. It's also very common nature (not human nature) to fear the unknown. The Native Indians in the movie were continually oppressed by whites by forcing their rules and culture on to them. All the killings, the innocent children , women and men.

You can see it the extent of this "nature" in life i m sure... The weak fear the unknown, the brave ones with reasoning tries to understand it.

Force, yes is a straightforward means of conveying something, a straight line. Can't people be more creative? Whats the use of reasoning if you don't use it?

Anyways, something i can relate this to is people discriminating against your culture and traditions. At one point, i think i was baffled by the dilemma of whether "my" culture is really all that "pointless". I m sure now of one thing, after 20 years... culture & traditions are what make us who we are, lose it and lose your identity. Lose your identity and you stop being part of the society you are from. I have come to learn to be proud of your own heritage and be respectful of others. You may say, blindly flowed traditions? That's what reasoning is for...

The righteous see with their heart through their minds.

So only let only one break at a time...
