Saw this movie when it was first released. Leaving the theatre I told my wife, "That movie will win for best picture." Love the movie.
Absolutely one of my favorites of all time!!!
I'll grant you, DWW is a good story, well told, with excellent actors. But what sets this movie apart is the music and landscape shots (cinematography). Both were absolutely beautiful. One of my favorite films.
But it is completely at odds with the actual history of what happened in the 1860s. In 1862, the Sioux were not rescuing white children and hosting women and renegade U.S. Army officers; they were taking advantage of the absence of U.S. forces to attack and brutally murder settlers who had often hosted them in their homes, during the infamous Sioux Uprising of 1862 in Minnesota. They took many women hostages and gang raped some, murdered others, etc. In the end, 131 Sioux "warriors" were convicted of crimes of murder and destruction and sentenced to hang, but President Lincoln, always hoping for the impossible, commuted the build of them and only 37 were hanged. This leniency led to another spate of brutal attacks, mostly in Nebraska, by Sioux and Cheyenne "warriors." The brutality of it was unbelievable. You can read about this in well-researched and documented books such as "Massacre Along the Medicine Trail, by Becher,. Doubtless, you've heard all about the "Sand Creek Massacre," which was little more e than a few scalpings by whites incensed by the brutality of the Sioux and Cheyenne a few months earlier. The 1862 Minnesota Uprising is covered thoroughly in Gregory Michno's, "Lakota Dawn." Gregory Michno and his wife, Susan compiled a catalog of captivity narratives titled "A Fate Worse than Death." You people with such romantic notions of what the 19th century was like really ought to read real history. No matter what present-day apologists and Leftis claim, the U.S. government made treaties for peace over and over, which were broken violently, whenever certain tribes wanted something more or as in 1862, extended their credit to a point that no one was willing or able to supply them until Congress voted more funding. The Sioux didn't care about that. They just knew many soldiers had marched off east, and the white settlers were vulnerable, so they just went on a rampage.
Don’t forget the sound track.. absolutely perfection
Is that soundtrack really necessary? I found it very annoying.
Agree
Totally agree. Unnecessary
I agree, 100%
Me too!
Why is it necessary to have that annoying background music, for a documentary
Master and Commander, one of if not my all time favorite. English bravery and capability, great music, fantastic sea going scenes!
Read the books. You’ll enjoy them.
I love this movie and have watched it several times, and I will watch it more.
I consider Dances With Wolves a masterpiece. We'll directed and well laid out I have watched it at least once a year since it was released on video. If there is A sequel I will be one of the first to go to stand in line to see it..
"Thirteen years later, their homes destroyed, their buffalo gone, the last band of free Sioux submitted to white authority at Fort Robinson, Nebraska. The great horse culture of the plains was gone and the American frontier was soon to pass into history."
Mary McDonald was and is the most lovely and talented Lady the movies.
Dances With Wolves, Jeramiah Johnson, The windwalker
My all time favorites.
Plus; Quigley Down Under. The Outlaw Josie Wales, and Pale Rider.
True Grit wins an Honorable Mention. Both Versions.
Windwalker was wonderful!
Very well put and a great movie
Spectacular movie all the way through.
Enjoyed this movie tremendously.👍👍👍
Amazing movie
I was born and Raised on the Prairie in SW Minnesota.
Costner captures the Pre Agrarian prairie and Sunsets perfectly.
And he shows how slowly the American Indian was pushed West past the Black Hills.
Yes please we don’t need the background music
@glyndary I agree the background "noise" is distracting. When did a buffalo herd become a "swarm" @3:40?
Great movie . . Dancing with the wolf's . . . I never get tired of watching it over and over again. 🍿 😏📽 🐺
Agree in spades. But I fell in love with Mary McDonnell(?) over the way she looked (my Ideal), talked in broken english/sioux, and acted!!!! esp. in the end.
I may buy a dvd to replay the great feelings I got outta this film.
I always had a problem with her having that California valley girl accent, and I was not able to hear any native influence at all
She was outstanding!!
Phenomenal movie!
One of the best Westerns ever.
It is a wonderful movie. I have seen it many many times. And I will probably watch it again. And again.
An absolutely brilliant movie.
There are less than a handful of movies I have watched more than once..I have watched this movie every couple of years. The last of the Mohicans being another...and the documentaries of Ken Burns.
I went to college with Mary McDonnell
I loved that movie. It may have been my favorite.
It’s a great movie.
Dances With Wolwes is a Movie where I feel Myself at Home.
A Very Nice And Good Movie!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏆🏆🏆
Another Very Good Movie by Kevin Costner is Waterworld.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏆🏆🏆
How it comes that I feel at Home in what somebody call Wilderness that I understand as Nature.
It is Nature!
Wilderness is The Concrete Djungles where a Lot of People are fighting about many things like Money and Fame.
These Concrete Djungles are often Called City / Cities.
Can be visited sometimes but no place to live permanently for Me.
Thanks A Lot for Your Movies Kevin Kostner!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😎🇫🇮
A great movie.
I've spent a good portion of my life looking for a woman like stands with fist .
Easy call. I never realised anything about Dances With Wolves.
Love this movie!🥰❤❤🙏
When I saw this in the theater,I was so sad & cried when they're leaving & his friend yells from the mountain about tem being friends. Please don't do a sequel,not needed.
Me too, breaks my heart when I him hearing say that.
The problem I have with the movie is the White men except for Costner and Stands with a fist were portrayed as cruel, crude or insane, The Lakotas are all noble and the other Indian tribe [not sure there given a name] are all murderous savages. In real life people of all races,groups tribes, however you seek to divide them are more complex than that.
Costner had another similar take, Hidden Figures.
Moreover, the Lakotas in the movie were not able to find buffaloes. An outsider, a newcomer on the Plains told them, where to go for the hunt.
In reality, the Plains Natives send out scouts in different directions to spot buffaloes.
The closest relation ever between Natives and Whites in North America were the Metis in Canada. They were of mixed blood and culture. True intermediares.
Worth too, a great movie.
Didn't know he was an an honorary Sioux, Didn't know the dialect thing either. Nice 1 Kevin, a favorite movie, Mary McDonnell has always been a favorite actor. Can't remember all the front line Indian actors [bugga], but they've been in quite a few movies.
Love this movie. So real and a curate. 8:18
I’ve always been convinced that those damn “Avatar” movies are a flat-out rip off of “Dances With Wolves”. Their plot lines are so similar. Injured and depressed soldier goes out to the frontier. Makes friends with and gets accepted into the native tribe. Falls in love with one of their women. Soldiers come and fuck everything up. Soldier boy joins the natives in a great battle against his own people. They win victory, but it is short term as more soldiers come and make everything worse. Natives fight a running battle against a force they can’t hope to defeat. See what I mean. It’s the same.
I totally agree, I've said that many, many times.
Right. It's part of the whole White Savior trope, just like A Man Called Horse, The Last Samurai, Pocahontas, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, and, to a degree Lawrence of Arabia, though it is of course based on the true story of T.E. Lawence.
The main star of Dances With Wolves was Two Socks, who l’m quite sure was underpaid
'A reviewer for the film "Black Robe" called it "Dances with Wolves with reality."
Good movie, if a bit sappy. Worth watching, in comparison, "Little Big Man."
Same movie. Both took liberties with the facts.
@@benjamincary5526 I tend to think "Little Big Man" as having a more realistic view.
"We was not just playing Indian, we was being Indian" -Jack Crab.
A generally more engaging story. A Forrest Gump of the last frontier.
We put way to much into entertainment and not life 😊
In the 19th century western diplomats learned Japanese from women. They called them pillow dictionaries and more than translate. The Japanese were amused that westerners spoke like women.
I don’t think Costner emailed anyone about scripts, translations etc in 1990 or before…
I wonder , if their is really a fort Sedgwick?
Got so bored by 2:10.........
One of the best movies EVER made, but the ending is so sad that it's not a movie you want to watch over and over like Shawshank, or Caddyshack. I think a movie like this or 'A Perfect Storm' which also has a sad ending lose out after the initial box office success, because people do not want to pay to see a movie with a sad ending more than once.
I find the narrators voice more annoying then dumb background noise!
Thanks to Kevin Costner( and the actors known as Two Socks)
I always believed the the Buffalo parts were shot at the National Buffalo Range in Montana...I guess I was wrong. I didn't realize that South Dakota has Buffalo heards of thousands of animals.
I think it was a Ranches buffalo breeding herd.
Takanka vs Herford.
LOSE THE MUSIC NEXT TIME.
Wow woe
Why is she the only one with messed up hair in her tribe? She's been with them since she was little. I would think they'd make her as much of the tribe as the rest of the women with nice fixed hair.
Written here in Bisbee Az.
Good to hear from Bisbee, ARIZONA!!!! Relatives, the Mitchells, my relatives, lived there since 1957. They've since either passed away or moved on. Very special to me----
At the end of the movie Costner says: "The end of the great horse culture was no more." Paraphrased, couldn't remember the exact words. He made it sound like the Sioux had been riding horses for thousands of years, but there were no horses in the Americas before the Spanish brought them in the 1500's. Also, the Comanche were the best horseman of all the Indian tribes, not the Sioux.
I don't know if what you wrote is true....but, what is your time frame for a culture?
Knew it was going to be 1000 words without getting to the point, the minute I heard the narrator. His voice is like the proverbial “nails on a chalkboard”. I suggest people stop using him to narrate their videos. 30 seconds in and I quit.
Very
1989 are we sure she wasn’t sent the script, who had email? I graduated highschool in 1990
Agreed on the irritating soundtrack
Open range is better.
If people would get it through their heads that they are not buffalo in reality they are American Bison. Buffalo s are from Africa
Who decided to shoot the wolf
I had an idea for a movie called “Dances With Wasps,” after I mowed over a yellow jacket nest, but after four takes, i had had an allergic reaction to the 50-60 stings, and we halted production.
The major flaw in the movie was the hairstyle for Mary McDonnell's character Stands with a Fist.
What's with the shoulder-length, overly layered, big, late 1980s hair style and bangs ?
The producers tried so hard to be authentic with the Lakota language and to use talented native American actors, and they ruined the effect with a leading character's hair. Native women most always kept hair braided or bound while Colonial and pioneer women, in a knot or bun and up under a cap of some sort. Hair had to be kept out of the way and clean. The only time white women cut their hair was If they were very seriously ill with a bad fever. Then often times, their hair was cut extremely short in the false notion that the fever was in the hair.
If McDonnell's character was 10 when she was kidnapped, it was already one length and long. I can't believe with all the top people Costner had access to, he couldn't find someone who knew hair.
Kind of like Jane Seymour's character in "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman". Letting her waist-length hair blow around on the dusty streets of the Old West town. Oh wait.... I'm sure Dr. Mike could take a hot shower, wash her hair and then plug in a blow dryer. 🤔
Really? The hair was your waterloo?
@@jadepaulsen8456 I found it really annoying. Everyone else kept their hair neat except her, even though there was one scene where one of the other women was working on her hair.
7:00 I read "The Holy Road" and was disappointed by the ending. Dances with Wolves gets killed and the Lakotas (Comanches in the book) finally end up confined to a reservation.
Like reality, just not as bad.
WHO CARES JUST ENJOY THIS EPIC MOVIE. JUST SHUT UP AI COMMENTATOR!!
The Doors guy
Outstanding movie on so many levels. What got me was the hypocrisy of that time period which our hero did not buy into one bit. The citizens of the North and their army just claimed their entire reason for the slaughter of the southern white citizens was for "saving or freeing the black people" and all men are created equal blah blah. The North then immediately turned Sherman and the monster Northern army right onto the Indians calling them "subhuman, savages, etc" worthy only of being slaughtered, tortured and herded into basically prisoner areas. One of the largest land grab/thefts in human history. History as written and taught is a joke.
I was always puzzled by the casting of the female lead who just looked like a modern white woman with freshly blow dried hair and full make up
The soundtrack to this video is thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump
Reclaim your time. THERE'S NOTHING NEW HERE. I heard all of this before. Time to move on.
I remember seeing the movie Avatar and realized I had seen it before when it was called Dances with Wolves. 😂
I never thought about that but you’re right.
Costner really wasn’t a director, and this manifested in his approach to pre-production and production of the film. If he went over budget, this is because he didn’t do enough pre-production preparation. I worked with the gaffer of Dances with Wolves, Victor Perez, while I was working on Dr. Quinn; Medicine Woman. He said the entire crew would show up in the morning and sit around for hours while Costner and cinematographer jumped in a jeep and went off looking for locations for that day’s shooting. That is definite tell Costner didn’t know what he was doing as a director, it should have been all predetermined before production started.
Costner also did things backassward when it comes to continuity. Usually, a master shot showing the whole of the location of the scene is shot, then moving the camera closer in for coverage of action and dialog. But Costner started with the coverage close in, then moved out for the master, which causes continuity problems with the change of the time of day. If you do a master and then coverage you can use artificial light to fake time of day, but not the other way around.
So it was actually beginner’s luck that Costner accomplished what he did with Dances with Wolves, but it cost him a lot more money the way he did it…
Plot is very very similar to the 1972 Jeremiah Johnson file starring Robert Redford
Yes, I kind of agree with you about that soundtrack… It is a bit annoying… Though I love this narrator’s voice, who has narrated so many of these videos!!! Don’t know your name at all!?!?! You narrated this all very well!!! I love this movie!!!! It’s been a few years since I’ve watched it last, or maybe more than a few!?!? Wasn’t Graham Green in this movie also?! Where I fell in love with him?! Thank you very much!! Love, Sister Gay Michaelis(for we are all brothers and sisters!! Have you found the gospel of Jesus Christ?!?!). ❤🙏😇🤗👍
SOUNDTRACK - Highly annoying to those with heart problems and/or mental illness. Try harder to be inclusive, okay?
I'm working on the screenplay for a prequel to Dances With Wolves, it features the amiable Indian boy Laughs A Lot and the adventures he has with his pet lamb. I'm calling it, Dances With Wool....😉
"Dancing with Wood?"
@@andywomack3414 lamb = wool. You know, where wool comes from.
@@busmirror Ever fell a tree? To the tune of a chain-saw?
😂🤣😂🤣
His name was “Smiles a lot” 😉
I thought the movie was good, unfortunately the way we treated the Indians in that time period was nothing short of terrible. But if you look at history settlers all over the world same kind of treatment to the local population. Now we have politicians falling over the themselves trying to apologize, even worst trying to whitewash over history.
It should've been called "Dances With Camera."
Tatonka! I said tatonka dammiit.
What is that annoying repetitve beat? What's its purpose? What does it add to the content?
So many videos have that stupid background noise
I’ve visited the country where the movie is set and really enjoyed its depiction. This narrator is annoying and the script disjointed and repetitive.
This movie made me embarrassed and disgusted to be a White person.
What that the indian is really president roslyn from battlestar galactica?
Yes.
When it came to good stopping points, it should have stopped.
Annoying soundtrack
This narrator needs to go. Annoying.
Awesome movie, Costner is a horrible human.
You don't know what I know, condescend to someone else. Blocking you
Sorry it is so bad I'm turning off the video....!
Yep, the irritating background is very irritating!
You know it's just another show about how the white man made the Indians famous we've been here for years and years it's about time that somebody steps up and says
Of course, DWW is completely ahistorical. The actual situation was the complete opposite of the cute story.
What's with this stupid beat. At least you could do is have an Indian drum!
The worst movie to ever win Oscar for best picture.
Thought it was awesome when it first came out,
I tried to watch it a couple of years ago and found
unwatchable.
One and only success of Costner. Highly overrated actor
Can we just have a movie like this WITHOUT the non-existent white hero who is "not like the other whites"? Or the faux Cynthia Ann Parker love interest with the moussed-out hair?
Yeah...I hated her hair. Layered, bangs, teased out. Come on!
The first lady of President Whitmoore in the war of 1996 or the future sectretary of education and later president of the 12 colonies was in this?
Yes.
2 things I don't like about this movie: It's just another "woke" type narrative of the old West, in which native Americans are portrayed mainly as innocent "victims" and whites as oppressive destroyers. That's not true history. By the content of the sequel book, it sounds like the narrative only got worse. Also, how many movies can Hollywood producers make about the same very LIMITED number of native American nations? I can think of at least a hundred of them that NEVER appear in movie plots.
You're right arrows VS guns wasn't oppressive
And portraying the Sioux as ignorant to guns is ridiculous. The Indians had better weapons than the US Cavalry in many cases. They were using guns almost since the beginning of their contact with Europeans.
@@sheldonf I suspect many had them before they were pushed out of the woodlands into the Great Plains where they discovered horses. Native nations had robust trading networks, might have guns before meeting the English?
Novel "Hanta Yo" as source for early Lakota history. I also attended a Colonial American History class.
I think the movie "Little Big Man" a less romanticized story based on a similar pattern. Probably has some inaccuracies as well.
We owe these people.
"Last of the Mohicans" as glimpse of Eastern Nations?
Had to stop immediately. The Soundtrack was too distracting!
