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

- great film
i love this film shots of buffalo hunts indians as actual people and not just a bunch of screaming savages the only flaws for me are all the sioux are good guys and the pawnees are bad and as for the u s army talk about inhuman savages a bit of an unfair portrayal of the frontier soldiers of the time but hey the indians look great especially the wes studi led pawnee war party i just wish there were more films like this made.

My father lives in an assisted living situation and loves this movie.He watches it over and over.Thank you for getting it to him so quickly and in great shape.
Rating: - A MASTERPIECE!
Begging reviewer Tom Keogh's pardon, but there is NO overstatement in either this film's "portrait of white intruders as morons" or its very graphic portrayal of mindless and immoral brutality by solders, which characterizations remain relevant to an all too common type of mindset and behavior that tragically continues in our country's administrative agencies of government to this very day.
And, this film most assuredly IS, indeed, an "UNQUALIFIED MASTERPIECE". In my opinion, it ... Read More

- bad experience w/ seller
wanted an update from seller when item didn't arrive at a reasonable time and he, once, gave me a lame excuse and later, dismissed my inquiry. Item didn't arrive and I requested a refund, but was completely ignored.
Rating: - A WONDERFUL, BREATHTAKING, TRIBUTE, TOTHE NATIVE AMERICAN PEOPLE!
This is movie is awesome! I loved it very much! John Dunbar was a good, and honorable soldier, with remarkable courage, who becomes weary, and ready for the Civil War to end! After a battle, John is now considered a hero, and he gets to choose the location of his next army post!
John chooses to go West, and start over: and there he meets Sioux Indians, and then meets a wolf, whom John names Two Socks. John and the Sioux Indians become friends, and earn each others respect! John falls ... Read More
