DANCES WITH WOLVES (1990) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Kevin Coster

Written by - Michael Blake

Starring - Kevin Costner

 

"The tale of a Civil War hero who asks to be reassigned at the Western Frontier before it disappears which becomes an epic love story with a message of brotherhood in his friendship with and acceptance by the Indians. Arguably more a welcome return to the magnificence of the best cowboys and Indians Americana western genre than the manifesto of the controversial conflict. It is undeniably soft at heart and respectful of the Native American struggle, but nevertheless, its nature lies more with the epic romance structure."
