The filming of "Dancing with Wolves" lasted for four months. The main scenes were taken from South Dakota and Wyoming, including natural areas such as Badlands National Park, Black Mountain, Sage Creek Wilderness, and the Belforth River. Scenic spot. Due to the changeable weather in South Dakota, the untamed wolves and the Indians fighting scenes are very complicated, the filming cycle has been repeatedly delayed. As the highlight of the film, the bison hunting scene took three weeks to complete. The crew used 100 Indian stunt riders and thousands of bison. In the huge herd, none of the bison comes from CGI special effects, and only a few are electronic models. In fact, Costner employed the largest bison farm in the United States, and two domesticated bison in the film were borrowed from Neil Young. Because Kevin Costner collaborates with animals in field shooting, budget overruns are inevitable. When the shooting drew to a close, Costner had to invest 3 million US dollars on his own, and the cost of the film increased to 18 million US dollars.

A 4-hour film that showcases the story of the close encounter between whites and Indians. This film gave me the greatest feeling of love and hate. The white people, relying on their own civilization, invaded the simplicity and harmony of the Indians with numbness and cruelty, so the Indians fought back fiercely with their instinctive primitiveness and savagery. The plot that moved me the most was the friendly relationship between the male protagonist and a wolf, and the warmth and warmth of dancing with the wolf!

The biggest impression of this movie is that it is so long ~ 4 hours. In the end I felt like it was another avatar~It's just that the original residents lost their homeland~

John Dunbar: [at the celebration of the buffalo feast, noticing a big Sioux man has his Lieutenant's hat] That's my hat... that's my hat!
Big Warrior: [in Lakota, as all becomes quiet in the tent] I found it on the prarie. It's mine.
Wind In His Hair: [stands up, in Lakota] The hat belongs to Lieutenant.
Big Warrior: He left it on the prarie. He didn't want it.
Wind In His Hair: Well, you can see he wants it now. We all know it's a soldier hat. We all know who wears it. If you want to keep it, that's fine. But give something for it.
[the Sioux takes his knife and sheath off his belt and gives it to Dunbar]
Wind In His Hair: [in English, to Dunbar] Good... trade!
