I decided not to read once I saw Dances With Wolves as the main photo in their article. John Dunbar didn't help the Dakota Sioux with their struggles, they helped him with his. He was suicidal, no respect for his own life. ((SPOILER)) It was the Native Americans that not only taught him about love, family, honor, and respect but they also physically rescued him when his own Union Army was shipping him back to be executed. I seriously hate when these so-called "woke" (threw up a little in my mouth just writing that word) film types throw in Dances With Wolves with the other white savior films. That tells me these quasi-film intellectuals either didn't watch the damn film (mostly out of resentment for Goodfellas) or watched it the way a 2-year-old would while having a tantrum, screaming with their ears covered and eyes closed.
