While good, the ending isn't what i expected - Dances With Wolves Reviews

I was just getting ready to give Dances With Wolves an A. But right before I could enjoy it fully, a lot of animals started to die. The worst part was that you had to see the suffering. But while the movie gets a little sad, you shouldn't give it a bad grade. The beauty of the Sioux landscape is the first part, and I wonder how Kevin Costner was able to direct it very well. I really like how Costner's character was able to interact with the Native Americans. The movie reminds me very much of The Last Samurai because he makes friendship with the enemy(actually, they really only hated him) and he falls in love with one of their women. So, according to me, the movie would be perfect if it weren't for the sad violence. But I understand why it was the Best Picture of 1990.
