Dancing with success. - Dances With Wolves Reviews

Dances With Wolves is a movie made in the classic Epic style. Stunning visuals that capture the beauty and power of a people native to the expansive west. This movie tells of the tale of a Union officer in the Civil War. During a failed suicide attempt that gives his men a edge over the enemy, he is hailed as a hero and offered the choice of any military outpost in the country. John choices a remort post on the western fringe of what passes as civilization. Upon his arrival, he finds that his post is deserted. not having any clues at first to what has happened, he set out to repair the outpost and as a result, draws the attention of a nearby tribe of native Americans. What follows is his attempt to interact with members of the nearby tribe and stumble over the cultural differences that each have. As time goes on, John Dunbar learns that not all of the native tribesmen are as the people back home portray. And the native Americans learn that not all of the white and pale skinned people are to be shunned and feared. =My Review= This movie by Kevin Costner is in my opinon one of the best he has made. One of the main reasons for this is the fact that Mr. Costner uses the talents of authentic Native Americans as actors and extras. Secondly, the location shots and the SFX for this film were all first rate. At over three hours long, it might be assumed that this movie would drag - However I was pleased that it kept my interest easily and was very entertaining. =Other Movies You might Enjoy= If you liked this movie, you might also like these other films by or starring Kevin Costner: THE POSTMAN BODYGUARD TIN CUP
