Dances with Wolves

REVIEW
Costner's directorial debut is this emotionally charged Academy Award—winning tribute to the Sioux Indians of the Dakota plains. Costner himself stars as Lt. John Dunbar of the Union Army, a man whose life is changed forever when he befriends the Lakota. At the close of the Civil War, Costner applies for service in the Western frontier. When he finally arrives at his outpost, finding it deserted, he settles in and begins to explore the territory. It is here that he makes contact with the Lakota. Beautifully photographed and filled with amazing stunts, Dances with Wolves presents a majestically sweeping vision of the grandeur of the great American West. The acting throughout is wonderful with Greene particularly memorable as Kicking Bird. A wonderful cinematic achievement in which Costner brings back the epic western.
