    Hey! I'm learning Lakota Sioux and feel pretty confident of at least basic conversation and expressing basic necessities such as, 'I'm hungry,' 'Are you at home right now?' and 'How you doing?' I can understand Mrs. Leader Charge adequately fine at best; especially when she says wanáškaŋškaŋyaŋpi -- "movie" and šuŋgmánitu tȟáŋka ob wachi -- "Dances with wolf(ves)" What really helps is that she speaks with good volume and with both slow and clear enunciation, three key points in speaking ANY language in the world. What a wonderful spirit she was.

But even if I did not agree that DWW deserved to win over Goodfellas (jury's still out on that) your story of how you went from living in your car to being a successful author/screenwriter is an inspiration to a would be writer like me. Also props to you from bringing Doris Leader Charge who played a big role in the film (translating the script, teaching the actors the Lakota language.)

    This length of thank you, would probably never happen today. I wonder if at the end of his life he would say the same thing to young people if his stories had never been turned into films. If he had gone to his grave, still dreaming and wishing that life could be different than it was, is it possible to do both to have dreams, unfulfilled and yet feel like life is enough as it is, as the Zen Masters proclaim?

    Several Years later, a filmaker stole his Idea for Dances with Wolves and made his own Movie with just some minor alterations in it from the Original Dances with Wolves. That Filmmaker made one of the biggest , if not the Biggest Blockbuster Movie of all time- basically plagerizing Dances with Wolves.
    That Filmmaker was James Cameron and the Movie was Called Avatar. Avatar is just basically a Science Fiction Version of Dances with Wolves.

      2. Writing is about dialogue and character interactions. Dances With Wolves does have that but in reality it’s the visuals and the cinematography that told the story so I don’t see that as a good enough reason to award it Best Screenplay when Goodfellas has all that.
