Best 'Going Native/New World' movie?

T

The Magical Zoo

Veteran XV
Dances with Wolves? Avatar? Pocahontas? Thin Red Line? Apocalypse Now? Ferngully? 13th Warrior?

I'll say Lawrence of Arabia

heh, you apparently know me, and while I'm not triggered, you came very close. You know where the buttons are. repped.

Kevin and my brother and my Dad are friends. He comes out every summer and fishes our creek and grills in the yard and drinks beer and whatnot. My brother is a redneck (you'd all like him), and Dad just goes with the flow. Kevin knows I think he's a fuck and he and I do not speak.

I think the book Dances With Wolves was decent (kind of a dumb ending though), and I think Kevin did an excellent job on the movie-- Rodney A. Grant IS a friend of mine; I've never met Graham Greene, but I'd like to. Kevin wrote and directed the movie, and I'd like to hate on his acting, but I can't. Everything was done very well and the film will be remembered as one of the best ever; I'm just disappointed that in real life Kevin is such a shitstain of a human being.

For depicting how reservations really are, Thunderheart was very well done. Trailer homes with the windows shot out, alcoholism, kids with no shoes. I thought it was realistic, and again Graham Greene was stellar.

First, we were in the Flagstaff Cafe (Ten Sleep WY) and we were all eating breakfast. Some tourist pre-teen girl came to our table and very shyly asked him for an autograph, to which he said "Sure, and then MAYBE I COULD EAT!?" It was like a needle scratching across the record. Everyone in the restaurant looked. She went back to her table, feeling terrible. He could have said "Not just now, I'm having breakfast." That's his first strike.

Strikes 2 and 3 are his dealings with the Oglala and Hunkpapa Lakota in Deadwood (where he still owns 2 casinos). He made that movie, and then proceeded to erect casinos and refuse to pay rent. You all see Dances With Wolves and consider it an epic (it is), and conclude that Costner and the Lakota nation are all chummy. They are not, and are in courts to this day. He's a thief with a lot of money for lawyers.

Anything else?

for me it was when he made that robin hood movie, and my dad was related to robin hood (i can show you the family tree) and i called him on the phone and said listen, my dad was related to robin hood, i can show you the family tree, and i'm not expecting to be mentioned in the movie or anything but could we at least arrange a consulting producer credit and he was like no and i thought that was pretty f'd up that this guy would make a movie about robin hood and have so little respect for the lineage of the guy himself, who have not had it easy over the years i should mention
