What's GD's take on it?

I haven't seen it in years.

Henrys, Spencers, and plenty of cap-n-ball action. And lots of tatanka, nice scenery and a few good bow, spear and tomahawk fight scenes. Other than that, "meh".

I enjoyed it.  From what I understand, the Lakota language coaches deliberate translated the lines using the feminine form instead of masculine.

I like it... prolly in my top 20... was so different than anything before it when it came out.

Made Costner IMO

Great movie.

I just watched it again last week. One of my dads favorite movies, so I watched it a lot when I was a kid.

It was great when it came out, but now it seems kind of clichéd.  

I like Thunderheart better.

Based on the book by Michael Blake. In the book the Indians were Comanches. There's also a sequel called The Holy Road by the same author

That movie made me beg my dad to get me a cap and ball pistol and started my love of black powder guns.
And I was the coolest kid in school when I brought in an arrow head I found in a farm field

I like it but always forget how long it is

It was OK, I remember it got sort of overexposed there for a while IMO.

Never could be made now. Stinks of white privilege. White guy cuts loose from his culture, embraces Native way of life, ends up running things. Talk about microaggression!

Exactly, remember Ten Bears was also featured in The Outlaw Josey Wales as a Comanche. I always wondered about that part of the movie until I read the book.

one of the best movies ever made
I would like to see some of the stuff they cut out

I saw it maybe twice the year or so after it came out and enjoyed it then.

Saw it again a couple months back.  I figured it wouldn't age very well, but things worked out better than expected.  I voted "good".

I have it on DVD.   Speaking of it being a Western and all.  Well, I don't watch is as often as other Western movies such as...........

Tombstone
The Wild Bunch
The Quick and The Dead
Texas Rangers
Quigley Down Under
Once Upon A Time In The West
Fistful of Dololars
For a Few Dollars More
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
and a whole lot of Spaghetti Westerns and Lonesome Dove stuff.

In other words..........I have to be really desperate to watch it.

Aloha, Mark

What about Ft. Davis? Ft. Davis in Big Bend?   I figured DWW was filmed higher up on the Plains.

It was. Most of it was filmed in SD.

In the final scene when that animated cartoon wolf on top of the cliff sat down and howled I thought "aah fuck, I hope I at least get a BJ out of this date."  That was pure Kevin Costner cheese.  

He was supposed to be a big advocate for the Lakota Sioux in making that movie and gave some speech at the Oscars what a noble people they are still then he turned around and shit all over them over by building a casino or some crap on their sacred ground and ignoring not only their requests not to but wouldn't even meet with the tribal elders.  Thanks for the stereotype reinforcement white eyes.

He left Fort Davis (I think it was the crazy commander that was there) and went to his duty station. Been awhile since I saw it but I know part of it was in Fort Davis.

1880 Town in SD has or had some of the "skinned" buffalo on display, as well as the wagon Costner rode out to the fort on, and when I was there they had the horse that played Cisco in the movie, still alive. Been almost 10 years and he was an old horse at the time so I'm sure he's died by now. Cool place though.

Couple  questions on extended vs theatrical cut-Did the trader who gave him a ride to the fort get killed in the theatrical, and did the Indians track down and kill the white traders? Two scenes from the extended version that I didn't remember in the original.
