Movie Reviews of Dances with Wolves (Full Screen Theatrical Edition)
Movie Review: My Favorite Movie - Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
The first time I saw this movie, I was stunned.
I had not seen any previews and so had no expectations. I was so moved by watching it, as were my companions, that we all sat and watched the complete credits roll by before we could get up to leave the theatre. For the first time in my life, I saw a tribe of our Native American population, portrayed as compassionate and caring. This type of information had never been taught in public school or college!
My friends and I stood outside the theatre that night, discussing the wonderful epic we had just experienced, for quite a while. As I drove home that evening I remembered that my maternal grandfather had some Native American blood lines and for the first time in my life I wanted to find out more about them. I doubt that I would have started any ancestry research had I not seen DWW.
It has been 18 years and DWW is still my all-time favorite movie. My ancestry research started after the first viewing and has never stopped. Thanks to the internet and other available resources, my family tree has expanded to over 5,500 people. Many of my Scottish and English ancestors intermarried with Native Americans. I am a veritable Heinz 57 of DNA! I have Cherokee, English, Scottish, and French ancestors, all mixed with remarkable and extended lines from all over the globe.
Whether the story line is credible or not to others, I know it's possible. My great-great-grandfather married a Cherokee woman who had survived the Trail of Tears. Knowing their history, I doubt they would have met or married, had it not been for the help and kind acts shown him by her family.
Watching "Dances with Wolves" for the first time was a turning point in my life. So, thank you Kevin Costner and Michael Blake, for making a movie that has been such an inspiration. If watching it does not inspire you, that's okay. I hope that at least you become curious enough, after watching it, to read and research topics concerning the Native American peoples. In the very least - you will be entertained.
Osiyo.
Summary of Dances with Wolves (Full Screen Theatrical Edition)
Lt. John dunbar exiled to a remote western civil war outpost befriends wolves and indians making him an intolerable aberration in the military. Studio: Tcfhe/mgm Release Date: 10/09/2007 Starring: Kevin Costner Mary Mcdonnell Run time: 181 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Kevin CostnerKevin 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 Keogh
