Reflection "Running Brave" 2

Identity is a person's conception and expression of their own and others' individuality or group affiliations. Identity may be defined as the distinctive characteristic belonging to any given individual, or shared by all members of a particular social category or group. At the last class we saw the second part of the movie “Running Brave”, in this part of the film we see how Billy's life begins to change.  Coach begins to change the running style of Billy, people are mocking about his identity. Billy felt that the coach would not let him be the same, because the coach wanted to change the way he run. The coach was saying that the Indians liked surrender, and Billy said, "I'll do just what you said, I'm out". Billy got tired of holding on and decided to resign. Billy asks his girlfriend to go away together, but she refused and Billy returned to the tribe he came from. I think Billy left because he felt it was not the same, he felt he were stealing their identity and forced him to have another identity. In the tribe were surprised when they saw Billy, because they believed that would never return. Billy returned to his brother's house. He practiced some activities with his tribe and he could see that he had not forgotten to be Indian. I could see in the movie was that identity is something that each of us carries inside and whatever happens, you will always be what you are, because that is your identity. Always going to try to change who you really are, but that will not be possible because what's inside of you is your essence, your soul, your culture, is you. I think the message of this movie is that you know who you wherever you go and always be the same. There will always be obstacles in the way, but you must remember who you are and where you come from, because that's what defines you as a person.
