Just watched dances with wolves on my laptop with headphones on. I saw the film last time maybe12-13 years ago. Actually enjoyed most of it, great photography(filming). Bit sort of sentimental too, though maybe that is just my imagination...........Any opinions on this movie?

It was Costners best film ever with the Al Capone movie coming second.

If I can recall it doesn't make American Indians look like the bad guys, which is rare for hollywood.

I liked it as well.

I liked the fact that (like min0 said) it didn't criminalize the Native American Indian people. Another thing I respected was the fact that Costner chose ONLY real Native Americans to portray actual Indians in the movie.

I loved the film.

I forgot about that lol, I remember in F-Troop they used old Jewish men as Indians.

I'm watching Airplane now and it's still funny.

Not that there's anything wrong with that but when they speak and you hear a Brooklyn accent it just doesn't sound right.

That and the whole orange body paint to create the "redskin" effect. Great motion picture realism!

Great movie, they should show it in History class so the kids can see how compassionate the American Gov. really was/is.

Didn't see the movie, but I read the book and enjoyed the story very much. Bigups to the native Americans for all the shit they dealt with throughout history -- massive deaths from European diseases, deathy by conquistadors, and settlers taking their land.

God I was pissed (drunk) when I posted that........
Paying the price now- really helps my training too...

Kevin Costner seems to have totally disappeared..... Maybe waterworks erm, 'waterworld' turned him off making movies.

making drunk posts about Kevin costner, that could be a bad sign

He married a hot girl and settled down, but I'm sure he'll make another movie soon

Yep, I don't recommend a whole bottle of rosé at midnight..........

Did you see Open Range? its his best movie in years, i think it came out in 2004.

Not seen that .......... I think 'Dances with wolves ' is in many ways a damned good film. He annoyed me in 'Robin Hood' a bit though the movie wasn't bad, Robin Hood should be acted by a Brit!

Posted by: Decker

In Robin Hood, Costner's British accent was marginal next to invisible. He makes good movies but I think he's an average actor. Bull Durham was my favorite.

One of my favorite movies, not because of Costner though he lost all respect from me with The Postman and Waterworld(both feeble attempts at becoming the next Mad Max)
