After getting injured in battle and demonstrating bravery in a dire
moment, Union Army lieutenant John J. Dunbar gets posted to the American
Frontier. Finding himself alone at his military post, Dunbar encounters a group
of Sioux people. While the soldier and the Natives are first at odds with each
other, a friendship develops over time.
Based of the book of the same name by Michael Blake, this film is Kevin Costner’s directorial debut. He did a great job, handling both directing and the lead role. The cinematography is superb here. This movie is like a long poem, telling a compelling story with images that keeps your attention.
The acting was solid by all involved. There were a few moments of silliness that seemed out of place to me, but, overall, this is an epic film that is well worth seeing at least once, if not more.
