Dances With Wolves

The ending of the movie Dances With Wolves shows the beauty in the way the two different cultures learned to accept each other. Dunbar tried to go back to his fort to get his journal but the soldiers had already invaded that area and they took Dunbar prisoner. The Souix warriors sent men in to go rescue Dunbar and they did. Pathos was used to appeal to the audience when Dunbar returned to the tribe. The men rode their horses over a hill down to where their camp was set up the sun was going down and the heroic music played. The intentions of the music and the set up of the scene were meant to make the audience happy that Dunbar was coming home and to put emphasis on the heroic battle they just won to get him back home. The way the scene was set up makes you feel happy and it shows the bond between Dances with Wolves and The Sioux tribe that has grown. Its a very beautiful moment.

The protective instinct between a man and a dog grows throughout the movie between Two Socks and Dunbar. The wolf begins to trust Dunbar and when Dunbar is captured by the soldiers Two Socks is worried and keeps an eye on them. He comes running when he sees Dunbar in the back of one of the soldiers cars and unfortunately leads to Two Socks being killed. The ignorance of the soldiers were exploited when they killed Two Socks. The soldiers were just messing around and seeing who could shoot the wolf first. They eventually hit the wolf and let it sit there to die. The soldiers don't care about the animals and that leads to huge conflict with the Sioux nation because animals are sacred to the Sioux and they don't let any part of the animal go to waste.
