When Hoffman tells Custer that he'll soon be a "greasy spot," that's an actual quote from a meeting between Oglalas and Custer before Little Big Horn. They had made an agreement to avoid fighting and by which the Native peoples could remain free...and they smoked a pipe on it. Then the Natives emptied the pipe and showed Custer the ashes, saying, "if you break your word, this is what will be left of you."

It has so many wonderful messages that we could learn today...but we haven't unfortunately. It like all great works, mixes incredible sadness with brutal humor. I think it is a hugely underrated work of art and all the cast and producers should have been very proud of what they did.

Irxchanberlain. I agree with you. I also saw the Movie in the H+Theaters when I was about your age. I thought then it was a great Movie. I have not seen the MOvie again outside of KZbin Clips I have not seen this Movie listed either on Standard Cable or even on some of the Premium Channels like Showtime or HBO. I think the Move has an underlying Radical Message and also the message about how the U.S. treated Native Americans despeicably that the Establishment doesn't want people to see. I also think Dances with Wolves owes a lot to LIttle Big Man which was a Book first. Both books are books that I would eventually like to read- Little Big Man I think would be more of a Priority for a read. I also would like to see LIttle Big Man again if I can find some way to see it again.

Seemed so bizarre when I first saw it on TV. But gradually it sank in: This wild tale isn't really about some crazy old man spinning yarns to a reporter. It's about the arc of the decline & fall of the Native American way of life as the West became "civilized." The consequences of Manfiest Destiny. Told to the (contemporary, white American) audience thru the eyes of this crazy old man spinning yarns to a reporter. The Chief's death scene should've remained as in the book, to complete the story. The false happy ending ("...Sometimes the magic works,...") spoiled the message. Hollywood just had to tack on happy endings in those days....

He had said that if he were Indian, he would be one of the hostiles, as he understood that they were fighting for their families and way of life. Even one of his Indian scouts said he "had the heart of an Indian". I recommend the book "A Terrible Glory" by James Donovan for a more balanced view of this complicated man.

The mental gymnastics Custer uses to justify himself are hilarious. In a previous scene, Custer explains that he thinks everything Jack tells him will be a lie. So here he turns to Jack for what he expects will be a quick "Don't go down there" which he'll interpret as the reverse. When Jack instead says "You go down there," it catches him up short for a moment, until Custer finds a way to work it out in his head to make it work out in his favor anyway.

Richard Mulligan captured the oblivious vanity that Custer was known for. Custer would put cinnamon oil in his mustache and hair, he was never far away from a mirror, there are more photos of Custer than Grant from the Civil War. Blind vanity and hubris were the slow poisons that finally caught up with him. He was just as affected by those character flaws as a hatter working with Mercury, or a painter working with lead paint. The outcome was the same.

Felix Vinatiere was Custer's 7th Cavalry regimental band leader. He's NFL kicker Adam Vinatiere's great-great-grandfather. The band didn't play at LBH, though. Custer needed the band's horses more than their music. The only "battle" the band got to play Garryowen at was at the Battle of the Washita. They only made it through the first verse, however, before having to stop because the players' spittle froze up their instruments in the freezing cold.

Gotta love Jack's sly smile at the very end - Custer has just doomed himself with his own gigantic ego. That being said, LBM's portrayal of Custer is a little too over the top. He viewed Indians similar to much of the political and military leadership. It never occurred to him that he might lose - Custer's biggest concern was that the Indians might get away, so he divided his force and disobeyed orders by attacking. Not too bright. Btw, Custer graduated dead last in his class at West Point.

Custer had incredible luck during his career and it fed a reckless abandon and ego. I think when Gibbon showed up at the Little Bighorn after the battle the overall feeling was Custer had it coming. Indian fighters like John Gibbon with a degree of intelligence actually came to respect the Natives and befriended some of the chiefs. Gibbon soon became known to the Natives as one of the few who kept his word and actually tried helping them as an agent. He's a little known extraordinary soldier.

I've not seen Forrest Gump . Jack Crabb, the protagonist here is not dumb. He just starts out naive. It reminds me of Voltaire's 'Candide', which is a satire on optimism. Like that the protagonist goes through a lot of life experiences that challenge his optimism/naivety. The difference is that Candide doesn't learn from experiences as far as I remember, but Jack Crabb does.
