Kevin Costner's 1990 epic won a bundle of Oscars for a moving, engrossing story of a white soldier (Costner) who singlehandedly mans a post in the 1870 Dakotas, and becomes a part of the Lakota Sioux community who live nearby. The film may not be a masterpiece, but it is far more than the sum of good intentions. The characters are strong, the development of relationships is both ambitious and careful, the love story between Costner and Mary McDonnell's character is captivating. Only the third-act portrait of white intruders as morons feels overbearing, but even that leads to a terribly moving conclusion. Costner's direction is assured, the balance of action and intimacy is perfect--what more could anyone want outside of an unqualified masterpiece? --Tom Keogh

Description

A "truly spectacular" (The New York Times) film that combines action, romance and breathtaking adventure, Dances With Wolves is "a cinematic masterpiece" (American Movie Classics) that is nothing short of "a triumph" (Roger Ebert)!Sent to protect a US outpost on the desolate frontier, Lt. John Dunbar (Kevin Costner) finds himself alone in the vast wilderness. Befriending the very people he's sent to protect the outpost from, the Sioux Indians, Dunbar slowly comes to revere those he once feared. But when the encroaching US Army threatens to overrun the Sioux, he is forced to make a choiceone that will forever change his destiny and that of a proud and defiant nation.

4 out of 5 stars A story every American should see.......2007-09-10

Great scenery, great music, poignant story have the fading of the great frontier and the demise of the Souix nation - an inevitable yet tragic clash of cultures

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful experience.......2007-08-16

Kabajhed enterprises delivers again. What wonderful cinematography. This is truly a classic for all times. While Costner is not always known for his acting ability, this one is a plus mark for him. I would recommend this to everyone.

3 out of 5 stars Good Film, bad disk arrangement, what a dumb idea.......2007-08-09

Although the film is a good one, I had to write this bad review, not for the film, but for the DVD arrangement on this Collector Edition. The first disk is two sided and has part 1 of the movie on side 1 and part 2 on the other side. The second disk contains the special features. Whatever moron decided this was a good idea has no clue about collectors and what they look for. This should have been put on three disks or at least put the special features on the B side, so the movie could be watched without having to manually remove the disk from the player and turn it over. I have a multi-disk player so I can just put them in the player and select which movie I want to see, sort of like a juke box, but with this DVD's arrangement, that isn't possible. Out of over 400 DVD's this is the only one that does such a thing (other than having a full screen on one side a widescreen on the other, that's Ok). The problem isn't the kind of thing one can return it for, so this one will go in the reject pile while I look for a better version (probably not available).

4 out of 5 stars Very good movie, but don't buy into all the mythology.......2007-08-06

Let me just get my quibble with the aura around this movie down first so that all the people who want to give me unhelpful votes will have some ammo in their guns: what about the Pawnee? This movie was credited with turning around the cinematic view of Native Americans by making them the good guy. And to a large degree it does just that, showing the Sioux through the eyes of an outsider who grows to love and respect them while spurning the decadent culture he used to be a member of. However, while the Sioux are portrayed wonderfully and humanely, the Pawnee come across just as badly as any "Red Indian" ever did in the 1950s. They scalp a defenseless man, launch an attack on a defenseless community full of women and children, make evil-sounding war cries, etc. Oh, and in Stands-with-a-Fist's flashback sequence, we learn that Pawnee massacred her whole family too. This isn't really a major problem, but it is certainly something that should be thought of before heaping so much praise on the film for its "revisionist" leanings, especially since (as far as I'm aware) the Sioux were the masters of the Great Plains rather than the Pawnee.

Nonetheless, the movie still earns a hearty 4/5 star recommendation. While I wouldn't have minded focusing a little less on Stands With A Fist and more on the more interesting Sioux characters, I recognize that this is John Dunbar's story and she represents a large part of it. The acting is very good (including a career-best turn by normally-iffy Kevin Costner), the action sequences are good verging on spectacular, and it comes to a very emotional but unmanipulative conclusion. A little long (made by Costner after all) but a nearly-great film

5 out of 5 stars Dances With Wolves.......2007-07-11

Long but engrossing Western is staggeringly beautiful as it details the tragic outcome of our expansion westward: the virtual annihilation of a proud society and culture. Costner has never been better as the most conflicted of men, a U.S soldier converted to a way of life that is dying, due to the destruction and injustice wrought by his own countrymen. An outstanding achievement for Costner, as the star/producer/director took home Oscars for Best Picture and Direction.

5 out of 5 stars GOOD FILM FROM THE 50'S.......2004-12-18

CAVALRY CHARGE is actually a film from Paramount,called THE LAST OUTPOST.
It was an A feature and did good solid box office.

The original film had beautiful colors by Technicolor.
From Paul B. Scott

3 out of 5 stars A typical 1950's Civil War film.......2004-02-04

Those old Civil War films are always the same. They're filmed in the California desert with inaccurate uniforms and weapons. Reagan gives a so-so performance as a Confederate Cavalry officer who finds himself fighting against his brother who is an officer in the Union Cavalry. And of course...there's a woman invoved too. It's a somewhat enjoyable movie, but certainly not a five star film.

5 out of 5 stars the last outpost.......2003-03-12

well made movie. Ronald Reagan, Rhonda Fleming, and a host of tv stars of the fifties. Premise is two brothers fighting the civil war one union one confederate on tv it's known as the last outpost. Interesting plot and in color

Kevin Costner's 1990 epic won a bundle of Oscars for a moving, engrossing story of a white soldier (Costner) who singlehandedly mans a post in the 1870 Dakotas, and becomes a part of the Lakota Sioux community who live nearby. The film may not be a masterpiece, but it is far more than the sum of good intentions. The characters are strong, the development of relationships is both ambitious and careful, the love story between Costner and Mary McDonnell's character is captivating. Only the third-act portrait of white intruders as morons feels overbearing, but even that leads to a terribly moving conclusion. Costner's direction is assured, the balance of action and intimacy is perfect--what more could anyone want outside of an unqualified masterpiece? --Tom Keogh

Description

Rewarded for his heroism in the Civil War, Lt. John Dunbar wants to see the American frontier before it is gone. He is assigned to an abandoned fort, where a Sioux tribe is his only neighbor. Overcoming the language barrier and their mutual fear and distrust, Dunbar and the proud Indians gradually become friends. Winner of seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, Kevin Costner.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars A story every American should see.......2007-09-10

Great scenery, great music, poignant story have the fading of the great frontier and the demise of the Souix nation - an inevitable yet tragic clash of cultures

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful experience.......2007-08-16

Kabajhed enterprises delivers again. What wonderful cinematography. This is truly a classic for all times. While Costner is not always known for his acting ability, this one is a plus mark for him. I would recommend this to everyone.

3 out of 5 stars Good Film, bad disk arrangement, what a dumb idea.......2007-08-09

Although the film is a good one, I had to write this bad review, not for the film, but for the DVD arrangement on this Collector Edition. The first disk is two sided and has part 1 of the movie on side 1 and part 2 on the other side. The second disk contains the special features. Whatever moron decided this was a good idea has no clue about collectors and what they look for. This should have been put on three disks or at least put the special features on the B side, so the movie could be watched without having to manually remove the disk from the player and turn it over. I have a multi-disk player so I can just put them in the player and select which movie I want to see, sort of like a juke box, but with this DVD's arrangement, that isn't possible. Out of over 400 DVD's this is the only one that does such a thing (other than having a full screen on one side a widescreen on the other, that's Ok). The problem isn't the kind of thing one can return it for, so this one will go in the reject pile while I look for a better version (probably not available).

4 out of 5 stars Very good movie, but don't buy into all the mythology.......2007-08-06

Let me just get my quibble with the aura around this movie down first so that all the people who want to give me unhelpful votes will have some ammo in their guns: what about the Pawnee? This movie was credited with turning around the cinematic view of Native Americans by making them the good guy. And to a large degree it does just that, showing the Sioux through the eyes of an outsider who grows to love and respect them while spurning the decadent culture he used to be a member of. However, while the Sioux are portrayed wonderfully and humanely, the Pawnee come across just as badly as any "Red Indian" ever did in the 1950s. They scalp a defenseless man, launch an attack on a defenseless community full of women and children, make evil-sounding war cries, etc. Oh, and in Stands-with-a-Fist's flashback sequence, we learn that Pawnee massacred her whole family too. This isn't really a major problem, but it is certainly something that should be thought of before heaping so much praise on the film for its "revisionist" leanings, especially since (as far as I'm aware) the Sioux were the masters of the Great Plains rather than the Pawnee.

Nonetheless, the movie still earns a hearty 4/5 star recommendation. While I wouldn't have minded focusing a little less on Stands With A Fist and more on the more interesting Sioux characters, I recognize that this is John Dunbar's story and she represents a large part of it. The acting is very good (including a career-best turn by normally-iffy Kevin Costner), the action sequences are good verging on spectacular, and it comes to a very emotional but unmanipulative conclusion. A little long (made by Costner after all) but a nearly-great film

5 out of 5 stars Dances With Wolves.......2007-07-11

Long but engrossing Western is staggeringly beautiful as it details the tragic outcome of our expansion westward: the virtual annihilation of a proud society and culture. Costner has never been better as the most conflicted of men, a U.S soldier converted to a way of life that is dying, due to the destruction and injustice wrought by his own countrymen. An outstanding achievement for Costner, as the star/producer/director took home Oscars for Best Picture and Direction.
