Kevin Costner's best

December 6, 2016

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

This is truly a fine movie and represents Kevin Costner's best, both as an actor and a director. It is a Western but almost unique among Westerns I've seen in that virtually all the featured characters, save Costner's, are Native Americans...or in the case of Mary McDonnell's, Stands w/a Fist, adopted by the Indians. The treatment here of Indians - especially the Lakota Sioux - is truly remarkable. While some aspects of Plains Indian life are idealized, it is for the most part a fair and balanced treatment. The Buffalo hunting scene is probably the best portrayal of that integral aspect of Plains Indian life ever put on film and the inter-tribal warfare and social mores, including marriage and death, are all well depicted. Costner and McDonnell deliver fine performances, but, to me, the Native American characters are more memorable. From Graham Greene who plays the holy man, Kicking Bird; to Rodney Grant, who plays Wind in His Hair; to Wes Studi who plays the Pawnee warrior chief; to Tantu Cardinal who plays Black Shawl; and others...all deliver outstanding performances...and they are all Native Americans. This is Graham Greene's finest performance among those I've seen and it's certainly Rodney Grant's best. When I recall aspects of this film - and I do that often - it is the scenes depicting Indian life and the Indian actors I recall. Costner, I believe, peaked with this work; everything since has been spotty. I don't think he'll ever top this effort; or even come close to it for that matter. In addition to the awards recognition it garnered when released, it has justifiably been selected by the Library of Congress for inclusion in the National Film Registry...It is that good.

See the "real" Avatar

January 12, 2012

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

Dances With Wolves is Kevin Costner's finest film to date, hands down. Nothing else comes close. While the actual story is a tad revisionistic, it is very entertaining. But before I get into this blu-ray release, I want to address an issue that I am surprised most critics did not catch onto. Dances With Wolves is the movie that James Cameron adapted to do Avatar. They are essentially the same stories, with the same character arcs and overall themes. I won't go blow for blow, but watch them back to back and tell me that Avatar is not a rip-off of Dances With Wolves. Now, this is not a review to bash Avatar, because I actually liked it. But I am surprised how much praise Cameron gets for the movie without acknowledging how much it owes to Dances With Wolves. Maybe he DID rip off Terminator from Harlon Ellison after all.

Anyway, I am usually not a big fan of extended cuts recently, because they tend to tack on a couple of minutes of crappy outtakes that were edited out for a reason. Not so with Dances With Wolves. One of the biggest revelations of this cut is you find out what happened to the soldiers of Fort Sedgwick before Lt. Dunbar made it there. While the original theatrical cut works with an odd sense of mystery at the beginning, this is also an interesting addition adding an unnecessary, but fun cut that solves the mystery. The other big addition for me was the soliloquey that Dunbar makes in his journal after they find the slaughtered buffalo. He makes a mention that he could not sleep with them and there were no looks of blame. That never sat well with me until I saw this extended version which puts that scene into context. It turns out the scouts found the white guys who killed the buffalo, scalped and slaughtered them, and the dance you saw around the campfire was celebrating that. It was, to me, a very important piece of the puzzle and I finally understood what Costner meant in that scene. It is also a pivotal moment in Dunbar's development as he becomes separated from the Whahchichoo and becomes a different individual to the tribe and to himself. He is becoming a man who does not fit anywhere. This is a very key moment that, with this small addition in the film, makes the movie so much deeper and Dunbar's character arc much more compelling and real.

This is one of the few movies that used their cut scenes to great effect, similar to the extended cuts of the Lord of the Rings. They are great for superfans, but also great for the regular viewer. Yes, most of the cuts were obviously cut out for a reason, and for the most part, are unnecessary to the core story. But if you like the story as much as I do, there are so many more delightful details to experience.

DeKay's Opinion

The extended version is superior for those who enjoy even a more nuanced description ...

April 29, 2016

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

The extended version is superior for those who enjoy even a more nuanced description of Indian culture and characters. It is in my opinion one of the very finest films made, and in my mind the best made concerning the American west. The extra describing how the film was made "accidently" explains why it is such a great film. Kevin Costner was too young and inexperienced to know it couldn't be done! For example, when you think of it, it seems so impractical to film in the Lakota language, but that turned out to be the only way it could be filmed. The extended material is not inferior material and fits seamlessly into the new version. Thanks to those who worked on this 20th anniversary disc.

A superior epic western

September 6, 2013

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

By the late 1980s, Kevin Costner had developed a decent reputation as an actor, having appeared in several fine movies, along with more than a few duds. But nothing he did before would have presaged his extraordinary effort as a director in Dances with Wolves, a superior epic western. Based on the novel by Michael Blake - who also wrote the screenplay - Costner stars as Lieutenant John Dunbar, a Civil War veteran who volunteers for a post in a remote part of the West, so he can see it "before it's gone." Reaching his destination, Dunbar finds it inexplicably deserted, and so he resolves to hold the fort, literally, until replacements arrive. Soon he is tormented but then befriended by a tribe of Lakota Sioux, who eventually adopt him as one of their own. Among them, he meets the love of his life, a white woman the Sioux have named Stands with a Fist (Mary McDonnell), who also had been adopted by the tribe as a child. The movie is distinguished by having all of its Native American roles played by Native Americans, and Graham Greene (as Kicking Bird), Rodney Grant (as Wind in his Hair) and Floyd Red Crow Westerman (as Chief Ten Bears) are particularly memorable, as is Wes Studi as a menacing member of the Pawnee tribe. Alternately joyous and terrifying, as with so many other great epics it's an ultimately heartbreaking story. One of John Barry's most memorable scores intensifies the mood - it's every bit as stirring as his music for Out of Africa. Phil's Favorite 500: Loves of a Moviegoing Lifetime (2014 edition)
