Agood plot with Indian Natives acting their part. Very real and emotional. Thank you Kevin.

I'd almost forgotten how quietly beautiful Mary McDonnell is. I'm not into glamour or OnlyFans, she's the real deal.

Costner is a surprise. Three of his movies make my top 25 list: Dances, Field of Dreams & Open Range. He is really a great actor!

This is my favourite Kevin movie, can watch it over and over.

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.

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

Dances with Wolves is not based on Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee. It is the adaptation of Michael Blake’s book Dances with Wolves.

I like how you point out their mistakes while at the same time calling the film "Dancing" With Wolves

Bury my heart is not a novel, it's a very well researched history book

It's one of the most beautiful, amazing, emotional, sad movies ever made. The best movies have all the emotions and this one did. ❤

This film not only pushed the boundaries of its genre but also set a high standard for storytelling and cultural representation in Hollywood.

Dances with wolves is definitely my favorite all time movie

This is still my favorite movie. Even 30+ years after it's release. I watched it three times in the theater in 1990 and have watched it dozens of times at home since!

Watched this movie on a first date in college. The girl I took on that date is now my wife of 30 years. Still one of my favorite movies. Kevin Costner is a great actor and producer.

Mary McDonnell nailed the Lakota language in her part in the movie.

Anyone who appreciates the 3 hour theatrical film absolutely MUST watch the 4 hour director’s cut.

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.

I love this movie. I've been interested in Native American culture for a long time, I have been to a Pow Wow. Very interesting and eye-opening. I love the way that Costner's character interacted with the Lakotas. They were intrigued with each other. They came to love each other the way human beings should!

This was a truly great movie. The only gripe I have is Mary Mcdonnell's modern, layered hair cut. I'm amazed no one caught that glaring error. It really looked out of place.

Great film. It is one of the greatest Westerns of all time!

I'm English and saw the movie in Holland whilst visiting my Dutch brother-in-law. This wasn't a problem as most people in Holland speak English and the film was shown with the original (English) sound track. However, the problem came when the Indians spoke in their native tongue, the captions at the bottom of the screen were in Dutch! To this day I have no idea what the Indians were saying.

I’m disappointed that you didn’t mention the name of Stands With a Fist’s hairdresser… a century ahead of its time!

Mary McDonnell’s puffy bangs and clean, blow-dried hair looked were truly anachronistic in this movie.

Stands With a Fist had a great hairdresser. Great cut, nicely fluffed. Truly native American in every way.

It was a fabulous movie. I need to watch it again.

I thought the coffee scene was pretty funny. And when one of the Lakota tasted sugar for the first time.

I never get tired of watching this movie❤ I was surprised to hear that the dead buffaloes were made out of sponge. Thanks for the information.😊

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

I recently just found out there was a 4 hour uncut Dances with Wolves . Wow what a different feeling from the story

I always wanted to know about the making of Dances With Wolves. I enjoy watching it from beginning to end. Thanks for sharing it. 👍

@7:00 Cynthia Ann Parker - the mother of Quanah Parker, son of a Comanche chief who also became chief; Quanah Parker did eventually make a treaty with the U.S. government and received a ranch in Oklahoma where he lived with his wives; several of his white relatives moved to his ranch from Texas and operated the ranch for him.

Dances With Wolves was the most realistic depiction of the way life was back in this era and it was the best film of this genre that I have seen.

I love dance’s with wolves I’ve seen it over 50times !💜

Kudos for Kevin Costner giving audiences a feel of Classic Hollywood with a modern sensibility. It paid off big time and shot him into the stratosphere, only the two-punch Waterworld/The Postman could bring him down.

Always wanted to be the Indian? Great PR move Kevin

One of my favorite films of all time. Kevin is a genius and a pure hearted Man with a warm heart. Love that Man. I would like to be an Actor like him.

Love this movie. They showed it in my kids’ high school in history class.

Kevin Costner strives for perfection in his projects and it shows. Dances with wolves is one of my favorites as was Water World. They may seem like long movies, but the story they tell is worth every minute.

Everyone is griping about the "Stands With A Fist"s hairdo. In the Lakota tribal tradition, when a close relative dies, one expresses their deep mourning by chopping their hair off and slashing their limbs. She was in the process of mourning her dead husband when Lt. Dunbar happened ride up on her.

When I was at the Horse Shoe bar in the S.D. badlands, a paint horse from the movie was tied outside and the bar tender brought it in the bar because it was too hot outside.

Far and away the best western ever made, better than Once Upon A Time In The West, Tombstone or the remake of the classic, Rooster Cogburn

This movie still brings tears to my eyes this many years later. I have the 5-hour DVD version and even though we all know it is entertainment, the soul inside of me feels all of the love between the story, the actors, & the snapshot of time past & present. 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!

I didn't even know it did well at the box office but I do know that I watched it five times. It's always considered it a great cowboy movie. I didn't even know it did well.

I learned much later from other “real Indian” actors who were not in DWWs who laughed at the Lakota Language, because it was all spoken in the feminine sound used by women. Of course, I would have never known, but still enjoyed the film immensely! I haven’t read the other comments, but you can check it out.

Nice video, Mary McDonnell has always been one of the most enduring beauties of Hollywood, and one of my pet peeves, at 3:51 you said, "He was always ready to get back up when one went array", the word you wanted is 'awry', not array. Awry means 'in error' or thereabouts, array is technically a grid. Sorry, the old man in me shows up in these cases. Continue on, enjoy the video.....

I had the honor of meeting Michael Blake before he passed. I have dances with wolves the Holy Road and three other of his other books all autographed. Dances with wolves was one of my favorite movies and still is. 💕

Incredible movie..I love it..Anything Kevin is in is the best!

Mary McDonnell was the perfect choice for Stands With A Fist. Some of the other actors were also perfect for their roles; Wes Studi and Graham Greene in particular. I was very pleased to see Graham Greene in Taylor Sheridan's "1883" series many years later. I've liked him as an actor ever since "The Green Mile". Dances With Wolves will always be one of my all-time favorite films of any genre.

Not a fan of modern movies, but I enjoy this one. Well done. I don't mind bloopers as all movies typically have them due to restarting scenes. Many times, I've pointed out the one with the wolf and the meat.

definitely Kostner's best work

It always cracked me up how Stands with a fist had such great hair and looked so good all the time while living out in the wild in a tepee. Give me a break. Try camping for a few days.

Dances with Wolves is one of my favorite movies, though i don't see many movies. The music is also a big part of the attachment i feel toward Dances with Wolves.

I stayed at Rosebud Sioux Indian Reservation in 1988 for 4½ months, attending classes at Sinte Gleska College and living with Doris Leader Charge and her family. She and a group of young dancers were on a promotion tour to Denmark a few years later, and here she told me about the scene with the boys stealing Costner's horse. The young rider was thrown off the horse, landed hard on his butt and said: Oh, that really hurts. Another boy: Not as much as when your father hears of this!!! That dialogue was not in the manus, but made up by the Lakotas themselves! Very human, very boy-ish and yes ... down to earth, haha. He lila waste!

I can't imagine the challenge of owning a wild herd let alone a huge herd of buffalo.

An absolute wonderful movie,im glad they went the distance.

Ironic that in a 'bloopers' video 'Dances with Wolves', which as I recall was the name the Sioux gave to Kostner's character is referred to as 'Dancing With Wolves' during the video.

The music and scenery are epic! I always cry during the ending scene. So powerful! “The essence of life is the harmonization of diversity” I believe that wars are a symptom of a great injustice. Slaughtering another people goes against a cosmic axiom of interconnectedness.

The best cowboy movie ever is Open Range. Check it out if you havnt seen it.

Mary McDonnell is a great actress. She was a perfect in this movie.

I read the book, as well, and enjoyed noticing the differences between the book & the movie

Great movie, well done !! I revisit once in awhile ;) fun to know the little details !

The film was a joke historically. Cosner up there self-importantly intoning "I want to see the frontier. . .before it's gone." What a load of crap. In 1863, there was NO sense the frontier was being LOST! That would come much later.

I enjoy the movie very much! Not biased and informational also!❤

You said "Cynthia Ann Parker" then show a picture of her *son* "Quanah Parker" also when you said about "Lakota dialect" and you show actors from the movie who were supposed to be Pawnee. Well done! 👏🏼 😂

its an awesome movie and the message it conveys

The Indians in the book were Comanches and not Sioux. There is a scene with Kevin and the chief talking where the chief takes out a conquistador helmet. The Spanish never got that far north. So it is an error but was left in the film.

"Please don't hurt my mules!"

Was there a reason you showed a photo of Quanah Parker? When speaking about the female lead? Cynthia Parker was his mother and there are photos of her.

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

Jesus, how many times can you screw up saying the word DANCES. Does anybody listen to the videos before posting them?

Funny that people started digging at it - calling it "Kevn's Gate" - before they saw it or had the foggiest clue what it was. I recall a lot of noise when it was announced that Heath Ledger was cast as the Joker for the Batman movie. The movie gets released and all the critics were instantly shut down.

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..

In the book it’s about the comanche, one big mistake is the scene where a native old warrior produces a spanish helmet, knowing that the spaniards never went as far as the northern plains, anyway i loved the book and the film

Dee Brown's book was not a NOVEL.

I read Dee Brown's book when it came out 50 years ago. It wasn't a novel, it was a narrative history.

I loved the movie, my favourite Kevin Costner movie

It's kind of ironic that you would make a video about mistakes in a movie, and at least three times (I stopped counting after the third) get the name of the movie wrong.

I loved this movie when it came out. Great story. Tho not a Kostner fan, the acting was quite good. Then watching it tv much later, I realized something that has soured the whole movie for me. Kostner and MacDonald's hair! It was styled in the blow-dry fashion of the late 80s!! Totally wrong for the period... and it just drove me crazy!

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

This is my favorite movie. 💜

There was a shot where a group of "Canadian Geese" went flying by honking away. The birds were actually Sandhill Cranes....

Amazing movie one of my favorites. Very nice video u made here thanks for that.

it's a marvelous movie. 🌺🌹

It was a great movie ! I watch it quite often ! To bad everthing has to be nit picked apart !

No mistakes, the movie was outstanding,,!!

I loved that movie 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

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

How many times does he call the movie "Dancing With Wolves?" 1)1 2)2 3)4 4)100 LOL "Facts" Verse

Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee is NOT a novel.

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?

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?

The abuse Kevin's character suffered when he returned to the reclaimed the for the US cavalry. I would have thought they would have had some record of him being there.

Good piece! Thank you. Is is that Kevin Reynolds directed much of the buffalo hunt?

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

Cynthia Ann Parker lived predominantly in Texas and the southern plains region among the Comanche. The Comanche and Sioux were two distinct and separate tribes with their own territories, cultures, and languages. There is no documented evidence to suggest that Cynthia Ann Parker ever ventured into Sioux territory or had any interactions with Sioux individuals.

What a great movie!

Kevin lives animals. Beeninvolved in animal rescue alot!

I loved 🥰 this movie, I cried my eyes out, a lot at the man’s inhumanity to man. Fell in love with Graham and Rodney, Keven was awesome in the role, I have always felt that this movie should be shown in every high school!

My favorite Movie of all !!!¡![
