In my opinion, Lawrence of Arabia a poor example of the White Savoir theme. The story, as it's written for the screen, is rather about a man who mistakes himself for a white savoir, but learns quite rudely that he is not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.102.148.214 ( talk) 21:23, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
Not sure if Isle of Dogs would fit under the white savior movie? I guess it is sort of b/c the main character is an American exchange student living in Japan, but she's not saving Japanese people -- she's saving dogs (which have been interpreted by some critics as substituting for a racial minority). But I would also argue it's the Japanese characters that do more of the work in rescuing the dogs. 173.71.122.33 ( talk) 18:00, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
Hi all, in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (film) from 1948, Walter Huston's character 'Howard' is called upon by a gang of Mexican natives to cure their child of some ailment. All Howard does is wave the kids arms up and down, while a gang of locals looks on in awe, and the child slowly comes back from the dead. I'd add this to the list, but i can't find a source. Leaving this here for someone else to find eventually. Ridiculopathy ( talk) 23:58, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
