Dances with Wolves (1990), is a film about a post-civil war U.S.
Army officer who deserts his unit to live with the Lakota. He learns their
language and protects them, eventually becoming one of their leaders. Ferngully:
the Last Rainforest (1992) is an animated movie about a young man who learns to
appreciate the rainforest and its inhabitants, and fights to protect them from
corporate greed. Avatar (2009) is a CGI sci-fi flick about a disabled veteran
who finds purpose on an alien planet, protecting the indigenous population and
assimilating into their culture. Essentially, they’re the same movie, except
that one has buffalo, one has ground-breaking (for its day) computer animation,
and one has Robin Williams. If you’re only going to watch one, I’d recommend Ferngully.
It’s only 76 minutes long, while Avatar is 162 and Dances with Wolves is 181.
And, of course, there’s Robin Williams.
