On a side note, since Christians were discriminating people from the beginning, when the white people came to America, they were extremely racist, and they still are. Thus all the racism happened.
Now, going back to the film, the theme of identity is eminent in the story. Billy Mills has identity problems throughout the movie, starting with him being half-indian/white. In a world that is racist towards native Americans, controlled by the white man, and studying through it. Yes, you will have such problems, because you're still developing yourself. Either way, Billy Mills sorts out his issues, gains everyone's respect and accepted himself as he is. But if it were not for racism, maybe he would've gone through a different identity problem.

For me Running Brave was a bit of a cliche movie but it was still inspiring somehow. About the identity problems, I think we all have had them throughout our lives and there is not so much special about them nowadays.
ResponderEliminarI think Billy Mills was being judged by both part of his ethnicity. Meaning that no matter if you are half, third, or even completely something(meaning race) people will never be satisfied and will judge. So it's all a matter of knowing who you truly are and staying that way.
ResponderEliminarThe movie was inspiring and Billy clearly had an identity problem. I'm not sure what the Christians had to do with all of this, but its your blog so I respect it. Nice analysis.
ResponderEliminarHello Angel! While I agree that in some ways the movie is probably not as inspiring towards our mind set, it probably is to another person...

When you say old news, by comparison with what war is(might be/interesting), I get the feeling that you’re going more on a subjective side of “the conversation.” I understand that if you take out the theme of racism, you eliminate the whole aspect of the movie; discrimination and racism in the movie is what the director probably wanted to convey (and on the side lines, saw that he could make a profit out of making said movie).
