Grand scale western epic - Dances With Wolves Reviews

One of the greats! Kevin Kostner, Mary McDonnell and Graham Greene should all have gotten Oscars for this film. Very moving, seemingly realistic (I didn't live then) portrayals of the old west. It takes you away to a world that no longer exists. It is an epic western like "Little Big Man", but a lot more believable. It's realism comes close to "McCabe and Mrs. Miller". It's up there with my other favorite epic westerns like "Jeremia Johnson", "The Outlaw Jose Wales", "Quigley Down Under", "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" and a few others. I feel sorry for anyone who can't lose themselves inside this movie.
