Dances with Wolves (1990) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

That last scene where Wind in His Hair is shouting on top of the cliff, affirming their friendship, makes me bawl.

Kevin Costner broke his back filming this movie. During the Buffalo hunting scene... he was doing his own stunts.. and his horse ran into another stuntmans horse... he fell and broke his back. But he got back on and finished the scene, then went to the hospital... it was a crazy filming experience according to everyone. Check out the making of this movie. Great reaction. Thank you. 😊

Yeah the end with winds in his hair gets me every time just such a simple but deep words

My favorite part is the part when Floyd Red crow westerman had the Spanish helmet.. I'm Navajo and our family has one that's been passed down .. that part is badass

This movie was filmed just outside my hometown of Pierre, SD. Some of my classmates were the native children. I never saw Kevin Costner, but my older brother, who worked at the local movie theater, saw him frequently. The theater also rented movies and Costner came in at least once a week to rent movies. Costner was very kind to people who came up to him to meet him.

The character of Stands With a Fist is actually inspired by the story of Cynthia Ann Parker, who was held captive by the Comanche from the age of 8 when they attacked the family's settlement on the Texas plains. She was raised by the Comanche and eventually married a chief, Peta Nocona. When she was re-captured by Texas Rangers 24 years later, she could not adapt back to white society and her last years were rather sad and tragic. Her legacy was in her oldest son, Quanah Parker, who became known as the last chief of the Comanche when all who remained were confined to a reservation.

One of the greatest movies ever filmed

Another great one to watch is The Last of the Mohicans (1992). It’s awesome. Great reaction ladies. ❤️❤️

Winner of 7 Oscars including Best Picture.

I watched this as a teenager on Laserdisc in a professional home theatre and seeing Two Socks die affected me more than anything else I'd seen. The soundtrack to this movie is easily in my top five favourites.

In my top 5 movies of all time. It is a beautiful movie! I'm so glad y'all enjoyed it too. ♥

The native Americans didn't just make use of the 'buffalo' (they're actually American bison - the film got it brong) for food and furs, they made use of the bones for tools and various other parts of the animal for different uses. In short they tried to make as much use of it as possible, while the white hunters basically just skinned them and left the rest of the dead animal to rot where they found it.

Do yourselves a favor and google the documentary series called “500 nations”. It’s narrated by Kevin Costner and covers a large portion of the tribes, or “nations”, and their lives, lore, and fate. It is VERY well done and super respectful of the people. Some people say America has no history or culture, especially the modern day Europeans. They are just looking at the history of the USA, but overlooking the people that were here before my ancestors. America has MORE history and culture though, they are just ignorant of the facts. The series “500 nations” could help solve a lot of that.

Finally reaction channels have discovered this gem, it deserves a lot of new people discovering it.

If you two liked this, then check out "Little Big Man" 1970 with Dustin Hoffman. I'm sure you two will like it as much as "Dances With Wolves".

I really appreciate this. I have noticed a number of edited scenes that I have never seen which give context. I wished I could have seen this unedited version before now.

Dances with Wolves always reminds me of something that happened to me around the very same time the film was released in theaters in 1990. Back in the late 80's, I befriended a guy at work, he was in his late 20's, as was I. He had moved here a few years prior from a foreign country I knew very little about. He had a beautiful girlfriend, she too was from a foreign country, though not the same country as he. The two of them met as young children in a contrasting area bordering their respective countries. His family was quite poor, hers was better off, not rich, but far from poor. They had to hide their friendship (that grew into a 'relationship') because their respective countries were enemies. Coincidentally, he had a kid sister, who, at the time I met him, was 18 and his girlfriend had an older brother about the same age as him. When I met them they were planning to be married. YES, ALL of them! The 4 of them were going to be married on the same day. When the day arrived, I wasn't surprised to see some of their respective families and some friends from their respective countries, both sets of parents had to fly, but some family and friends had also made their new lives here in the U.S., I was however, disappointed to see how the parents of one family refused to speak to the other 'side' of the family, yet the whole while during the ceremony and the reception/party both sides of the family & the friends, of the generation of the 'kids' getting married, seemed to 'get along' as you would expect from a typical wedding. I later learned how uncommon this was. My friend was understandably disappointed with my ignorance regarding the conflict between the two countries from which he and his bride were from, but he just chuckled and said he understood. During the party, he & his new wife graciously tried to educate me in a brief, but profound way, what was going on back in their 2 countries. They told me that when they were growing up, their parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, all the "Old" people, would speak so very badly of the other country and the people, how they hated anyone from the other country, that it was the same for all the other kids on each side of the border they grew up with. Yet in this little area where they were growing up, kids from both sides of the border, against the wishes of their families and communities, would often play together. They grew up together having to keep it all a secret. Sure, some of the kids in the area would adopt their ancestral hatred for the other country and it's people, but many did not, and, obviously, neither did these two sets of newlyweds. When the two couples joined together in a 4 people hug at the conclusion of a dance, at the reception, there was a cheer from the attendees unlike any I had ever heard before and seeing so many tears of joy on so many faces was touching, more and more every time I reflect upon it. You see, he was Palestinian, and she was from Israel. Yes, even now, after 35 year since their wedding, their two countries are still 'enemies. In the months after the wedding I learned more about the conflict between their respective countries and voiced my wish that more people in their respective countries would see things like they did, they, the newlyweds, were, of course, way ahead of me in their wish for the same. I repeatedly suggested... I remember shouting, "Someone needs to do a book or documentary on you guys!". Unfortunately, not long after their wedding, my life went in a different direction and I lost track of Omar and his beautiful Hannah, (I can't remember the names of their brother and sister), but every so often I think about all of them and how I wish their story was made into a book or documentary. Perhaps someone has, but I am ignorant of either's existence. In any case. I hope they are well, that all of their families and friends are likewise doing well, despite the saddening turmoil that seems to be never ending between their two countries. I am so sad that the spark of hope they gave me 35 years ago, a hope that they were a start of a trend that would evolve into a peaceful resolution for their peoples, has not gone on to have become harmonious relations between their peoples, My heart is broken, you see, in my youthful enthusiasm, (naivete), back then I had expected (hoped) to see such in my lifetime, yet I am now 63 and war rages on, death, carnage and hatred still prevail over peace and love. The Sioux were and still are a remarkable people, in this movie the Sioux represent too many people and cultures that have fallen victim to the despicable and horrendous acts perpetrated at the hands of the war mongers that scar the history of the man. I take solace in that even though countries may be at war with one another, many of the people of those countries desire peace despite the acts of their governments or their ancestors and they practice friendship and peace as individuals, whenever they can, like Dances With Wolves, Stands With A FIst, Kicking Bird, Wind In His Hair, Smiles A Lot, and so on... like Omar, Hannah, and their brother and sister and their friends. One can hope. Please forgive me for my longwinded story. I've been aching to tell it over the past months and I guess you kicked my butt into gear into finally taking the time to tell it. I thank you for that and I THANK YOU for your wonderful Reaction to Dances With Wolves. I wish you both much success in all your endeavors, thanks again and God Bless you & yours, now and always.

Such a masterpiece of a film. The acting the directing the score. Just all perfect. We just don't get movies like this anymore. Not sure if you ladies have heard but Kevin Costner has made a western film coming out this year. And it looks promising. I think he's the last guy to care about these type of western style films. Westerns don't make money at the box office anymore for some reason.

Feels with her heart and Cries with her eyes did a great reaction. 🔥🇨🇦

I've seen quite a few reactions here on YouTube, movies, tv shows and music. This was one of the very best. Smart comments, real empathy and sensitivity plus humor in all the right places. Technically well done too. If we gave out stars ... five out of five! :)
