The farewell and gift giving scene with John and Kicking Bird was a tear jerker. The hunting scene and the chariot race scene in Ben Hur are 2 of the best scenes in movie history.

[@reggieboyd5444]

Only problem with the gift scene is that the pipe, an instrument of prayer, is not assembled unless it's intended to be smoked. Assembling the two halves, the male and female parts if you will, awakens it for the intended spiritual purpose. That's what I was taught.

[@dccox1053]

No one could have played the part of Stands with Fist better than Mary McDonnell. Her husky voice and country girl looks, and her body language on screen made her perfect for the role. Too bad she didn't receive the awards for best actress.

[@candesbradbury8339]

I agree, she was perfect for the role, but I was always mystified with her hairstyle. A layered hairdo with no braids or ties was surprising. It never looked authentic Native American.

As a former history graduate student at the University of Illinois, where Dee Brown worked as a librarian, that line almost brought me up out of my seat. Bury My Heart is a lot of things, and does contain errors (as almost every history book more than 50 years old is going to do), but a work of fiction it ain't and never was. We actually used it as a text in one of my undergraduate history courses.

[@stephen8433]

My favorite scene is: ''I am Wind in his Hair, and I am not afraid of you!''

[@jidissafi7413]

I like that too. The best part was that he had to stop by there just to do that, and show how badass he was because his kids had made the Sioux look like fools (which I doubt Dunbar had even thought about). I also liked his statements about how Kicking Bird was "the thinker", and his own solution was simply to get mad about everything. His mediation during the lost hat incident was great too. Probably my favorite character in it and a perfect sideman to Kicking Bird. He's got that Conan thing happening. 😄

This movie gave us the 30,000 foot view of paradigms & prejudices of the time. It also represented the hopes & dreams of everyone involved in the movie, past & present which was totally unique to each individual representing themselves in the universe. It also opened up a floodgate of other movies that tried to paint more open-minded viewpoints. Someday when we invent the 4-D Holidecks, I know what movie I will be immersing myself into!

my favorite Kevin Costner movie although i really like his work in "Yellowstone" as well

[@arthurbrumagem3844]

Always told the word “Sioux “was derogatory and Lakota was preferred. At least a Vietnam war buddy of mine who is a member of the tribe and a BIA attorney. But what would he know

[@thegreatselkie6009]

I watch this movie at least every other month. ♥️♥️♥️

I've seen this film many, many times, one of my favorites and always wondered how they accomplished the scene where the wolf was shot and injured by the union army soldiers. If someone reads this and has the answer, I would like to know..

[@hellekimery9537]

The only thing that drives me crazy in DWW is Stands With a Fist's haircut. It does not look like long hair cut off for mourning and is so out of places it pulls me out of the movie over and over. What was he thinking?

[@keithad6485]

I agree, really detracts from her fine performance. Spoils it for me

[@TheNaturbahnluger]

I have it on good authority, from Doris Leader Charge, that Kostner was not adopted by the tribe as claimed in this video. He was adopted by Leader Charge’s family. She explained this in a public presentation a couple years after the movie was made.

This is definitely a film to watch in the cinema. It loses a lot when watching it on the small screen.

[@CharlieHorse221]

I loved the movie, my favourite Kevin Costner movie

[@MrRidleyDog]

Narrator keeps calling it "Dancing With Wolves", what a dope.

[@andrewsmith8729]

One of the things that the internet has brought home is just how flawed were are. Dances with Wolves... the real extended version is a fantastic movie with a great cast. Then, comes along someone who just has to point out every mistake.... why?

Good length of this informative video, only 7 min. Sometimes the film is referred to as Dancing w/ Wolves, but it was Dances w/ Wolves. Amazing details, still love this movie!

[@drbobcaster]

Dee Brown's book was not a NOVEL.

[@keithad6485]

Good point, well said

[@BrianBrewer-i9q]

Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee is NOT a novel.

[@robertdouglas8895]

The Sioux drove the Assinboine out of the Great Lakes region. As a police action, the Iroquois Confederation drove the Sioux out of the area. The Assinboine and Sioux ended up on the same Reservation.

[@williampollock1274]

Dances with Wolves was a damn good movie! They don't make them like that anymore.👍😞

[@CaseyJackson-w8h]

Kevin still can. HORIZON will prove.

[@susanpharr6809]

Always wondered why the main female character had ‘80’s hair’ - having grown up with the tribe since age 9 - that’s all.

[@OilCanHarry2U]

It is a film adaptation of the 1988 novel “Dances With Wolves”, by Michael Blake

[@LovedMyLoyalLongDog]

The best movie I ever saw.
