Little Big Man (1970)

Rate: 6
Viewed: 6/07

6/07: Prior to seeing Little Big Man, I expected another great Dustin Hoffman movie, but I got let down...big time.

What I got out of it is a story about a coward who witnessed many events. It's like watching Forrest Gump all over again. So, why include Little Big Man, and why should I sympathize with him? Why not cut him out and just focus on everything else?

The acting isn't bad, but the plot needs more work. What I don't like is the comical aspect. American Indians should be portrayed more seriously. What's the purpose of the film after all? To lead me to the Battle of the Little Bighorn, and that's it?

All in all, I prefer Dances With Wolves over Little Big Man.
