Talk:Black Robe (film)

Comparison to Dances with Wolves
During the early 1990s, either the Chicago Tribune or the Chicago Sun-Times printed an article in which it stated that the success of Dances with Wolves compared to this film was a sign of political correctness. It said that Dances made Native Americans look good while this film did not. Others may argue that this film was dark and tragic and thus would not seduce viewers who like happy endings. jcm 8/21/8

The absence of a coherent thought in your comment makes me wish for a nuclear war. jpb 11/04/09 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.62.66.128 (talk) 23:37, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

The comments above make sense if you'd seen the film. Many Natives in the film are portrayed as horrible savages who skin their victims alive. European culture is portrayed as bright and beautiful with images of magnificent architecture while Native culture is dark, cold and foreboding. Native American culture does not appear very enlightened in any way in this film. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.154.103.157 (talk) 23:42, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually what the film showed was that the seventeenth century was shitty. Dances With Wolves was basically a sightly updated rehashing of the "noble savage" idea, whereas, one could argue, Black Robe showed Natives in a more realistic light. Natives weren't peace-loving proto-hippies; they were human beings, with all the baggage that comes with that, occasional brutality included.172.163.46.34 (talk) 19:07, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Wrong spelling of Kiotsaeton
Once erroneously introduced the name of the chief of the Iroquois/Mohawk was from then on constantly wrongly written, even in the IMDB: The correct name is (in Brian Moore's novel) "Kiotsaeton", not "-seaton". Moore might have taken the name from the famous chief of the Mohawk, the "wampum man" of Three Rivers/Quebec in 1645. ThomasMore52 (talk) 14:17, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
