An epic must carry a short legend, but after the legend, it still cannot withstand the torrent of the times.

It is a miracle in itself that Dunbar, who charged for the sake of sacrifice, survived the Civil War.

After winning the award, he resolutely chose the difficult conditions of the Great Western Frontline, just to experience it before the frontline disappeared.

After rushing to the fortress, as the only stationed officer, he let the brothers who stayed behind go home to recuperate, and waited alone for the arrival of the reinforcements.

The contact with the Indians, from suspicion and vigilance on both sides, to gradually trying to express goodwill, to understanding each other despite the language barrier, and finally becoming a family through long-term communication and communication.

Dunbar is probably one of the very few people who can try to let go of his pride and conceit as a white man, instead of treating other races as inferior creatures and forcibly assimilating or eliminating them, but looking at each other's relationship as equals, trying to understand each other's intentions and culture; The Sioux sage "kicks the bird" who sympathizes with each other, and always maintains curiosity and tolerance for foreigners; coupled with the bizarre white woman who "stands with fists", the in-depth exchanges between the two finally combine with each other; and so on. Contribute to this legendary story without racial barriers.

In the end, in the hearts of the Sioux elders and members, Dunbar was no longer the former white officer, but their compatriots "Dances with Wolves". It was this that led the Sioux warriors to rescue Dunbar.

The influx of whites to the places where the Indians lived was inevitable, and the last thing Dunbar could do for the Sioux as a whole was to leave them and try to lure the white army away. As for whether Dunbar survived or not, no one may know, but I think it must be dead.

    I reviewed the director's cut version, which was nearly an hour longer than the movie version, with many more details. Favorite forever

    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!
