I always really enjoy it when it comes on.
That said, I fast forward past the Wolf shooting scene...tears me up like a little school girl every time. |

I agree. Really don’t hear much about it, maybe because of its length.

One of my all time favorites, I think the final battle is one of the best in movie history.
I’m sure some guys will be along shortly to bitch about SJW and evil white men issues though. |

I saw it in theaters, i think i was 13. I saw it for a second time for some reason a few weeks later.
As a typical 13 year old, i got bored the second time around. So, what did i do ? I built a ring of straws that went around the entire theater. I was a bored 13 years old.. what would you have done ?

The scene in which Ten Bears produces the Spanish helmet would have been accurate if they were Comanche, which, of course, they weren't.
Dunbar's narrating of how hard the Pawnee were on the Sioux was also accurate, but 180 degrees off from the truth. We were the penultimate conquerors of the Northern Great Plains, roaring out of the Minnesota forests and gobbling up territory as we expanded westward. |

The message of the film is just more noble savage bullshit. As a film production and story it's very good. The acting is just good. Not great. Not mediocre.

I generally like westerns.

I just got back from a road trip to Devils Tower. Inspired by the scenery I watched that movie two nights ago.
Filmed on location in the Bad Lands, S.Dakota, and Belle Fourche River areas. Beautiful scenery. It’s an American Lawrence of Arabia. However, kind of heavy-handed on the Indians are good, the white-man is bad stuff, noble savage stuff. The book is different enough to be worth reading also. |

I've only seen it once but didn't care much for it Costner is too much the apologist for my tastes, I prefer actual history to stuff like "Dances."
If you're interested, the 1880 museum near Murdo SD has a lot of props and artifacts used in that movie. |

Aside from any white and indian thing, the truth is that humans have a history of violence. All primitives are violent. The norm for tribal society is war, rape, mass murder, enslavement. Some are better at it than others. Comanche hid from Apaches before they adopted the horse, and that switched things up. If not for the horse, Comanches were be a tribe most would have never heard of, and those who had would think of them as peaceful people just trying to survive the Apache. |
