It's sad that the Anglo Saxon and Native American cultures couldn't assimilate with one another. The Native Americans were just too proud and free to be made subservient to the Whites, and that pride led to their destruction.
these suppositions as to why the Major shot himself, while interesting and well thought out, are any of them supported by the actual book by Michael Blake? just curious..agreed that Wayne Grace's performance stole the scene...
@Ellipser or one could think of it as the gradual decline into senescence & finally the death of an older, more noble, heraldic culture; a culture that honors its enemies instead of eradicating them. You can see the way he watches Dunbar departing; he would give anything to be there.
Or I could just be over-romanticizing it. I'm quixotic like that. In my spare time I tilt windmills and court imaginary maidens :D
I love this movie! The isolation and solitude that Dunbar longed for after the slaughter of the American civil war must have been like a dream! The native Indian Americans look fantastic, they are a very proud people. It is a shame they are all but gone.
@scholarofsteel the major was feeling his own mortality. To know someone growing old, someone who's even losing control of their own bladder & bowels, but who still has enough mind to understand their own decline is to understand.
I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in my mid-50's. It was a helluva wake-up call. A single surgery took care of it. I dodged a big bullet. I'm completely free of it, but I too understand in my heart as well as my head that I'm facing a gradual decline someday.
@EgaoNoGenki there was alot of disease back in those times,and did not have the proper treatments to help medically and also not enough knowledge like we have today
@EgaoNoGenki the reason for the clip: the only person in Lt. Dunbar's chain of command who knew where he was just shot and killed himself. That is how the character goes to the outpost and is forgotten about. He had to survive on his own...
Tremendous scene. This is from the director's cut - much better than the wide release... tells more of the story. Same thing during the buffalo hunt when they discover the skinned carcasses and say that it "must be white hunters." The director's cut shows what happened when the Sioux found the white hunters and what they did to them, but it was edited out of the wide release.
fantastic scene, fantastic actor (Chaykin). I know the whole piss-self thing is funny, but there is more to this scene, I'm not trying to be an asshole or anything, just a fantastic scene, iconic.
King Solomon if you dig in his "mine" for him then he will make you disappear and be nothing like him and not have to come back as something you don't want to be...

The man who played the Major should have received an Oscar for his brilliant performance...
After seeing this movie in the 7th grade, I remember getting a detention at school and when my teacher asked to me sign the slip, I scribbled my name the way the major did at 2: 22 ...the whole class was laughing lol
when you die you piss your pants, i wonder if he did? as he had just been already. Anyway this bit was a little random to say the least but this movie is brilliant
Interesting...in my DVD (and when I saw this in the movie) They never showed the twoother men in the office nor the "where is my crown" scene. In a way it shows how big the office is. My version you get the illusion the magor (loosing his mind from lonieness) is in a small shed of an office and more secluded
This scene is the only reason I ever watched this movie. He was also hilarious on that trailer park boys episode where he was also yelling about somebody pissing themself.
Does anyone realize this is the same guy from War Games that says "Mr. Potato head!"? Yes, yes it is! check it out on Youtube, type in Mr. potatohead wargames and see for yourself
This must be a directors cut...I have never seen the scenes with the Major before he shoots himself..and after. Fantastic movie..If you have never seen it..I envy you. I'd love to watch it for the first time again.
@lego398 you wouldn't know it, because they probably had certain standards for literature, but I too was surprised to learn that certain swears have been around way longer than you'd think. For example, the word fuck has been around since the middle ages.
After seeing he was little control over anything he losses it, still within his own mind he then views himself as a king having control over his land. And he pisses himself because he figured choosing to piss himself is control, because he did it "and nobody (else) can do anything about it". After that he loses it even more (The king is dead), can't handle it, and shoots himself.
But I hear in the book he had a medical condition or something. The above is just what I always figured.
Well I never read the book, but I always figured what happened was, he was sent to take care of his little fort or whatever on the frontier after having a mental breakdown. Barely mentally stable, all that was keeping him together was that he was in charge and had control over what was going on.
Then a soldier comes in, a veteran soldier who has the option of choosing wherever he goes and he *requests* the place the major hated most, to be sent to the frontier, ~Continued
LOL...I always found it hilarious how it seemed like his decision to shoot himself was spur of the moment...one moment he's casually looking out the window and the next he has a gun to his head
why did he piss his pants..why did he want his crown/crowd what ever he wanted?..who was the king?..why did he shoot himslef?..dont tell me to go watch the full movie..answer my questions someone
@tuvaluboi The movie doesn't go into details, though I imagine the book probably does... never read it. But basically, the guy is crazy, presumably from the shock of combat. And his lunacy (again presumably) is the reason he sent Lt. Dunbar to Ft. Sedgewick, as the post was abandoned, and in complete disrepair.
But uh... watch the movie... not for this reason, but because you'll see a great movie :)
Thank you for posting this. This clip has three of my favorite actors, all of whom are gone now. Rest in peace Mr. Chaykin, Mr. Pastorelli, and Mr. Rocket. Thank you for having allowed us to see your wonderful talents.
the major was suffering from late stage syphilis. That's why he couldn't control his hand when writing and saluting, and why he pissed his pants. It would also explain why he lost his mind.
@ichbineinfreidenker He has Syphilis to be more accurate. The movie doesn't clarify that he does, but his behavior and the time period seem to suggest he suffers from Syphilis. These are common symptoms he shows here such as disillusion.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
At least he was intelligent enough to realize that one pisses IN his pants.... not "I pissed my pants." Pissing ones pants implies urinating ones trousers through the urinary tract. Idiotic pop culture and the dumbing down of an entire country.... My bad.... "Your bad what? Idiot. This country is so doomed.
I don't get why he told him that he pissed himself ._. or why he killed himself. I don't see how anybody could even have the courage to shoot themselves like that... on a happier note :) I love this soundtrack...
I took it to be that he was having or had had a nervous breakdown. Reasons? Could be many - sending brave men into near certain death might be part of it. Who knows what he had seen "at the frontier". He is portrayed as an intelligent person who is now broken and these are more likely to suffer, for they often think too much.
The suicide could well be that the request was too much for him, could have brought back memories or, to him, the futility of waste.
It seems to me the Major didn't like being anywhere near the frontier, nor did he like Indians, and was at heart a coward - and he knew it.
Then, after far too long being posted at the frontier near the people he hates, an obviously brave soldier who could have requested a post anywhere, asks to be posted on the frontier amongst Indians.
Being confronted by his polar opposite and knowing he can never be what Dunbar is, the Major has a complete mental breakdown and commits suicide.
Lt. Elgin , even at hes capture he carefully watched to asure Dunbar was treated respectivily. After the ambush attack at the river Dunbar later returns the respect that hes body is not desicrated.
He has syphalis-read the book, as there are many other details that were left out. Ever wonder why he said that he could not celebrate with the Sioux after they came across all of the dead buffalo and wagon tracks? He felt guilty, as the Sioux had found the wagons and killed the buffalo killers. But yeah, he had syphalis.
This clip has the deleted scenes in it. Cool! I remember watching this at the theater with a great sound system. The buffalo hunt rumbled our seats! And when he said, "Sir knight, I just pissed in my pants and nobody can do anything about it" Everybody lost it! Thanks for the memories.
I eat meat and love my steak ex ex ex rare. If you are a vegan, thats ok. Everyone is different, and everyone has the right to be different. You have no right to judge what others do. What do you think the Indians did with the buffalo?
I buy some of my meat from the store, but I also hunt and process it myself(white tail deer, rabbit, pheasent, moose, ptarmigan). I also catch my own fish and turtle, clean it, eat it and enjoy it. Do you grow your own veggies?? I also do that( can them, freeze them, dry them) Just because you don't eat meat does not mean you can condem someone else.
you said, and I quote "I never said I don't eat me". I know it was a finger fart in typing, but the pictures it brought to mind still leave me laughing.
The Major is under stress. He hates indians, his command and the frontier. He's stuck where he is. He's an alcoholic.
A fit, young, smart and heroic Lt. walks into his office and *requests* a frontier position. *Requests*, when he could have gone anywhere.
The Lt.'s requests forces the Major to realize he has totally lost control of his life. In a final, insane bid to gain some control he pisses his pants because "nobody can do anything about it."

The suicide could well be that the request was too much for him, could have brought back memories or, to him, the futility of waste.

I'd say he was the officer in command at 'Fort Segwick' previously, and escaped.......'The King is dead, long live the king'
That means something, and I take it to mean the above suggestion. What do you think?

It seems to me the Major didn't like being anywhere near the frontier, nor did he like Indians, and was at heart a coward - and he knew it.
Then, after far too long being posted at the frontier near the people he hates, an obviously brave soldier who could have requested a post anywhere, asks to be posted on the frontier amongst Indians.
Being confronted by his polar opposite and knowing he can never be what Dunbar is, the Major has a complete mental breakdown and commits suicide.

Well, you must have a lot of guts to commit suicide. Not sure he is that coward then. I'd prefer to be killed than kill myself.
I think he is not mentally stable because he find meaningless his life and this Indian 'conquest' .

He lost his mind, too much time alone on the frontier.
I love his smile when he hears Dunbar's reason for wanting to be posted out on the frontier.
This was the first time I'd seen Maury Chaykin on film. He is certainly eccentric.

Lt. Elgin , even at hes capture he carefully watched to asure Dunbar was treated respectivily. After the ambush attack at the river Dunbar later returns the respect that hes body is not desicrated.

He has syphalis-read the book, as there are many other details that were left out. Ever wonder why he said that he could not celebrate with the Sioux after they came across all of the dead buffalo and wagon tracks? He felt guilty, as the Sioux had found the wagons and killed the buffalo killers. But yeah, he had syphalis.

This clip has the deleted scenes in it. Cool! I remember watching this at the theater with a great sound system. The buffalo hunt rumbled our seats! And when he said, "Sir knight, I just pissed in my pants and nobody can do anything about it" Everybody lost it! Thanks for the memories.

I eat meat and love my steak ex ex ex rare. If you are a vegan, thats ok. Everyone is different, and everyone has the right to be different. You have no right to judge what others do. What do you think the Indians did with the buffalo?

if you buy your meat in the grocery store i guarantee you that the meat your eating is nothing like the meat the indians ate.
over time your health is very likely to suffer because of it.

I buy some of my meat from the store, but I also hunt and process it myself(white tail deer, rabbit, pheasent, moose, ptarmigan). I also catch my own fish and turtle, clean it, eat it and enjoy it. Do you grow your own veggies?? I also do that( can them, freeze them, dry them) Just because you don't eat meat does not mean you can condem someone else.

The Major is under stress. He hates indians, his command and the frontier. He's stuck where he is. He's an alcoholic.
A fit, young, smart and heroic Lt. walks into his office and *requests* a frontier position. *Requests*, when he could have gone anywhere.
The Lt.'s requests forces the Major to realize he has totally lost control of his life. In a final, insane bid to gain some control he pisses his pants because "nobody can do anything about it."
