Posts from Gorch in thread „Dances with Wolves (1990)“

    Right you are Jim. That was the final desecration which started when Timmons throws the empty can onto the pristine plain.
    My trouble is that it's been so long since I viewed the original cut, I can't recall everything that has been added.




    We deal in lead, friend.

    Speaking of native Americans, last night I stayed up into the wee hours watching the four hour director's cut of "Dances With Wolves".
    I know that Costner isn't popular with some people, but he made a damn fine film here. This longer edition fleshes out some minor characters, particularly the Lakota, making their actions more understandable. There's a restored scene or two showing the cavalry abandoning Dunbar's post as well as a formally deleted incident on the buffalo hunt where the tribe finds carcasses slaughtered by white hunters. The Lakota are shown having a scalp dance after they kill the hide hunters and Dunbar's reaction.
    If you haven't seen this addition, which adds about a whole hour, I recommend it.
