Thank you ES... saw your posting on Facebook before here.. and glad to see article. The comments are always funny with a topic like this..
“The Man in the Bigh Castle” Season 1. It had the trite ending that would have earned you an “F” in High School English Composition.
reminds me of what we think is the BEST ending - Inglorious Bastards! If only....
I never liked the last half hour or so of ‘Dances With Wolves’.
The movie premise was compelling, as a young man who cheated death, got a glimpse of the old west “before it is gone”. I love the West anyway.
However, the writers couldn’t resist the theme of “White man bad, Native American good”. That was far too simplistic, as there was all sorts of BAD happening back then, and yes, our government was mostly at fault.
What would have been better IMO, was once Costner left the Soldier Fort, that was the last we saw of it etc. Instead, it would have been better and perhaps more poignant, had he lost his life in a meaningless battle fighting for the Sioux against the Pawnee. Sort of a bookend ending, mimicking how the story began, except this time, not so lucky.
