Movie Reviews of Dances with Wolves - Extended Cut (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Movie Review: Magnificent Epic...Dubious History
Summary: 5 Stars
Spectacularly filmed with breathtaking action sequences. A smart, clever, warm-hearted script that pushes all the right buttons. The buffalo hunt scene is alone worth the price of a rental. I enjoy it every time.
As storytelling, Dances W/ Wolves is arguably the high-water mark of late 20th century political correctness. Minorities good, whites bad. That's not necessarily a bad thing, after hundreds of movies portraying native americans as savages, would it absolutely kill Hollywood to turn the other cheek just for once? Apparently not. Hugely successful both in box office and awards, DWW set the standard for epics for the next two decades. Who knows, John Ford might have actually approved. John Wayne would not have.
Once again, for the people in the back row who didn't hear the first thousand times: if you are looking to Hollywood for history lessons, you are fools. Sorry for the name calling but it is what it is. By now, any adult in North America has no excuse for not knowing better than trying to get educated through movie watching. Alas, many reviewers seem to persist in the understanding that the Old West was really like it is portrayed in entertainment. Even the basic premise that an Indian tribe would be so foolhardy as to take a white man, a professional soldier no less, into its community is absurd. Can you say, "begging for trouble?" Conversely, the idea that a white american man of a sound mind from the east in the mid 1800's would be so openminded as to want to "go native" is similarly absurd. Racial harmony was not taught in the classroom in the 1800's. It's a STORY. Enjoy the STORY.
Summary of Dances with Wolves - Extended Cut (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Kevin Costner's 1990 epic won a bundle of Oscars for a moving, engrossing story of a white soldier (Costner) who singlehandedly mans a post in the 1870 Dakotas, and becomes a part of the Lakota Sioux community who live nearby. The film may not be a masterpiece, but it is far more than the sum of good intentions. The characters are strong, the development of relationships is both ambitious and careful, the love story between Costner and Mary McDonnell's character is captivating. Only the third-act portrait of white intruders as morons feels overbearing, but even that leads to a terribly moving conclusion. Costner's direction is assured, the balance of action and intimacy is perfect--what more could anyone want outside of an unqualified masterpiece? --Tom KeoghA "truly spectacular" (The New York Times) film that combines action, romance and breathtaking adventure, Dances With Wolves is "a cinematic masterpiece" (American Movie Classics) that is nothing short of "a triumph" (Roger Ebert)!Sent to protect a US outpost on the desolate frontier, Lt. John Dunbar (Kevin Costner) finds himself alone in the vast wilderness. Befriending the very people he's sent to protect the outpost from, the Sioux Indians, Dunbar slowly comes to revere those he once feared. But when the encroaching US Army threatens to overrun the Sioux, he is forced to make a choiceone that will forever change his destiny and that of a proud and defiant nation.
