  • Fallacies (85%)
    The article contains a few informal fallacies and an example of a dichotomous depiction. Kevin Costner argues that he aims to portray Native and minority characters as well-rounded people in his film Horizon. However, some critics have taken issue with the initial depiction of Indigenous characters as dangerous and threatening, which is later shown to be a response to the occupation of their ancestral lands. This demonstrates an informal dichotomous depiction fallacy where the characters are initially presented as one-dimensional before being revealed as more complex. Additionally, Costner's statement about trying to make Native people look like people and not stereotypes could be interpreted as a subtle appeal to authority, implying that he has some expertise on portraying Native characters due to his past success with Dances With Wolves. There are no formal fallacies present in the article.
