Lashaunda,
I remembered one of your comments, as I was reading fellow classmates post. The comment, “And I agree that the winners of historical events are the story tellers,” there is so much truth weaved into that statement. Undeniably, I have wondered what the real truth involving accurate historical events other than what we have been told to believe. Concerning film, the goal is to make money as the bottom line. Another point to make about film back in that era is the filmmakers were white people and when I realized that many Indian characters were played by white people is ironically strange in my viewpoint, just like men played women in Shakespeare plays; because you can’t truly understand that character, if you do not have respect for
