Talk:Little Big Man (film)

message: This article is incredibly bad.  It's written poorly, and it is plainly inaccurate in many areas.  I can't believe how bad it is.  Someone needs to go through and clean it up.  Please!75.145.59.94 (talk) 14:59, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Spoiler warning

message: I love this movie. One thing I took away from it were two illustrations of how a person of one culture can misunderstand or be misunderstood by a person of another culture.
In the first instance, young Jack, returned to white society, is asked something like, "Boy, can you drive a buckboard?". Jack hesitates, and then bravely answers, "Yes". When it turns out that he really does not know how, he is treated as a liar. But I think that, in the Indian culture that Jack had just returned from, he would never be asked if he could do something unless the questioner knew that he could, so that Jack interpreted the question as meaning something more like, "Boy, I know you can drive a buckboard, and it is time for you to do it." A serious miscommunication.
The second example is that it becomes clear by the end that the statement, by an Indian, "Today is a good day to die", can mean something more like, "What a great day!".

message: The article currently states "The movie's portrayal of the Battle of Washita River as a Custer-led massacre of women and children . . . is not entirely accurate as the camp was partially occupied by tribal warriors.   This implies that the camp as portrayed in the movie contained only women and childen, no warriors . . . but that is not the case.  For example, the warrior Younger Bear is shown as living in the village at Washita River.  I suggest this sentence be corrected, but will leave that to those more familiar with the subject matter.  --Skb8721 (talk) 14:34, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
