I am looking at the two movies avatar and Dances with wolves and the adaptations tome are very outstanding to me. both movies are about two tribes of people being forced from their homes and one person from capturing side convert over to the other side. in Dances with Wolves a army officer joins a group of souix indians and learns from them and comes to understand their way of life, just like in avatar a solider learns from the avatar people and comes to learn their way of life. both actors fall in love with a girl from the tribe and both fight with the tribe.in avatar the movie is based in the future and space travel is common in dances with wolves the travel is still by horses. in dances with wolves the time period is when the west was being opened and many government issues were with indians and settling the west so the movie was based around that; also at the time idians were considered to be savages and heartless. in avatar the setting is more modern and right now space travel is getting to be more and more close; also alien life is always being discussed and many people believe there is life on other planets. in both movies there is a love story and love never dies its one of the main aspects of human life so it is present in both movies even though they are from two completely different time periods.
