Review of Dances with Wolves (1990) by Alex R — 18 Jan 2011
Dances With Wolves is the story of a soldier by the name of John Dunbar who is sent to an outpost at the Frontier where he befriends a tribe of Indians. Directed and staring Kevin Costner, Dances With Wolves is a near flawless film.
The story is simply beautiful and the acting and storytelling are superb. Dances With Wolves is a stunning epic as a man befriends a tribe of indians and becomes more attached to them throughout the film so attached that he abandons his previous life to start a new with the tribe he has befriended.
The film is long, but it's perfectly paced as John Dunbar rediscovers himself through the tribe. Dunbar's friendship is seen as a betrayal from his superiors. Costner has crafted a near flawless film.
The only real problem I had with the film was the length, which when you look at it is necessary to tell this story. Dances With Wolves will surely appeal to history buffs and film fans who enjoy other such films as The Last Of The Mohicans.
The film has that same feel to it. Dances With Wolves is a film that will definitely get your attention and is a breathtaking film. Kevin Costner has made a unique film, and this is an important classic of film.
A film full of wonder, Dances With Wolves tells a powerful story on screen.This is also one of Kevin Costner's best performances, he truly delivers something great on screen. Dances With Wolves is a near flawless masterpiece.
