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 SATURDAY.DKC H The (acubs Gallery, located inside I\u gene's Mull Center, is currently featuring an exchange exhibition of (Jregon and So viet Prints, with .1 public reception to take place in the gallery from 7 to u p m i.iking part in tin* exhibition will l»- the Oregon I'rintmakers Association .1 ikI the Soviet Union's Irkutsk I’rint Co-op The prints 011 display vary in form and tech niipie. with the Soviet prints being sen ous and richly detailed The exhibit will run through |an 4 A famous shoppersez, ‘ 7 get my toys from... ” Exclusively Adult Gift • liook • Video Sho Adult Holiday Gifts ♦ Games ♦ Greeting Cards ♦ Novelties Open Daily Tuesday - Saturday 24 hours Sunday A; Monday 8 a m 12 p in 1124 Main 726-7104 What Study-Crazed Students Say About Onsen (Ahhh. risen HOURLY HOT IU« MHTAl Call 345-9048 for reservations. 1643 Gorton Av#..
