Dances With Wolves starring Kevin Costner on DVD


Amazon.com
This is the movie that sent director-producer-actor Kevin Costner on his hubristic way. It is such a resonant and powerful film we can almost forgive him the arrogance of his later "epic," The Postman. Costner plays a Union solder who is stationed at the far edges of the West, and left there to rot at his post. He finally sees the wisdom of the Lakota Sioux and finds peace within their community. His decision to "go native" is greatly frowned upon by his military commanders. The story is told simply, and wastes not one word of dialogue, while the South Dakota locations provide a magnificent backdrop. Costner plays an American Everyman who awakens to himself and the world around him. We are drawn to him, and his story, because of his accessibility. As a filmmaker, his attention to detail, along with the stark beauty of the locations, will leave you wishing this ran longer than a mere two hours and 25 minutes. Costner thought so, too, as he also released his 237-minute European cut onto video.
