Dances with Wolves: More than just a 'feel-good' Western?

Okay guys, so I watched Dances with Wolves for like, the millionth time last night (don't judge!) and I started thinking...is this movie really just a feel-good 'white guy goes native' story? Like, on the surface, yeah, Dunbar finds himself, learns a new culture, falls in love, all that jazz. But the more I watch it, the more I think Costner was low-key making a statement about trauma and PTSD. Think about it: Dunbar only ends up out West because he's trying to CHECK OUT after the Civil War. His attempted suicide is a HUGE opening moment that kinda gets glossed over! Also, there's the whole isolation thing. Is he really connecting with the Lakota people, or is he just projecting his own need for peace and escape onto them? Maybe it's both? I mean, he clearly cares, but the whole 'becoming' Dances with Wolves feels a little... I don't know... idealised? Like he's finding therapy more than a tribe. And okay, I know this might be a reach, but the constant threat of violence – the Pawnee raids, the eventual arrival of the real army – feels almost like a manifestation of Dunbar's own internal battles. He's trying to find peace, but the war (both the literal war and the war inside his head) keeps following him. The scene where they slaughter Cisco is still brutal AF. Like, what if the whole movie is just a super long, symbolic representation of a guy working through his trauma? Am I reading too deep here? Let me know your thoughts! Maybe I just need to watch another slasher flick to recalibrate my brain LOL
