- Wart to rant It
- - Worth th# t»ma
* - A mu#! MM
By Chris Bouneff
Emerald News Editor
In movieland the trend seems to be
finding truth and reconciliation.
The barrage of Vietnam films amica
bly demonstrates this point. Prom Oli
ver Stone's Platoon to Stanley Ku
brick's Full Metal Jacket, these films
attempt to understand the war that
tore this country apart.
Then there are Spike Lee's films,
which although controversial, have at
tempted to give insight to African
American culture — something never
tried before.
In all. a wave of understanding is
sweeping some of the bigger films
coming from Hollywood
Now comes Dances With Wolves.
Kevin Costner's directorial debut,
which is probably the most realistic
movie yet about Native Americans on
the frontier before whites made their
final push west.
Costner stars as John |. Dunbar, an
officer in the Union Army toward the
end of the Civil War. The movie opens
as Dunbar narrowly escapes losing his
leg after being wounded.
Instead, he makes it back to the bai
lie. and in the process of trvlng to kilf
himself by riding into Confederate
lines, Dunbar rallies Union troops to
victory.
As a reward for his so-called brav
ery. Dunbar is given his choice of
posts. He chooses the frontier because
he wants to see it before it's gone.
At Dunbar's next post, he is greeted
bv a crazy post commander who sends
him to the remotest fort in the area
Dunbar finds it unmanned, bis guide
is killed by Pawnee Indians on the
way hack, ami the fort commander
kills himself before he tells anyone
where Dunbar has (men sent
Dunbar is alone and isolated.
His first contact with the Sioux triiie
located somewhat near his fort is ten
tative at best. They try to communi
cate. but language is an obvious obsta
cle, as the trite* speaks in authentic
Sioux.
That's where Stands With A Kist
(Mary McDonnell) helps. She is a
white who was adopted by the Sioux
as a child
With her aid. Dunbar and holy man
Kicking Bird (Graham Greene) are able
to communicate. Slowly, and surely.
Dunbar understands and eventually
assimilates into the Sioux culture
The assimilation is so intense that
Dunbar is given a Sioux name —
Dances With Wolves — because he ts
seen playing with a wolf that regularly
visits his fort. He also becomes roman
tically involved with Stands With A
Fist
based on cinematography alone,
this film is worth the three hours run
ning time. The shots, filmed almost
exclusively in the Dakotas, are noth
ing short of spectacular, including the
lengthy buffalo-hunting sequence.
Costner gives his usual solid perfor
mance. but what pushes this film to
ward excellence is a lulling pace that
pulls the audience in and keeps then
there. And the portrait of Sioux life
painted in Dances With Wolves shows
the dignity and intnlRgence Native
Americans possess
The film shows sensitivity and un
derstanding to a culture long misun
derstood during the push west, and by
Hollywood during the days of cowboy
and Indian features
