Product Description DVD Special Features: Director's Commentary Theatrical Trailer Featurette Kevin Costner Profile Languages: English Dolby Digital 5.1 Subtitles: English Hard of Hearing 2.35:1 Aspect Ratio 16:9 Widescreen Version DVD 9: Dual Layer Single Sided Disc Running Time: 173 Minutes desertcart.co.uk Review Dances with Wolves is the film that sent director-producer-actor Kevin Costner on his hubristic way; yet it is such a resonant and powerful film that we can almost forgive him for inflicting upon us his later "epic" The Postman. Here Costner plays a Union solder stationed at the far edges of the West, and left there to rot at his post. He finally sees the wisdom of the Lakota Sioux and finds peace within their community. But his decision to "go native" is greatly frowned upon by his military commanders, and the subsequent culture clash forms the backbone of the narrative. The story is told simply, and wastes not one word of dialogue, while the South Dakota locations provide a magnificent backdrop. Costner is sympathetic and accessible as an American Everyman who awakens to himself and the world around him... --Rochelle O'Gorman, desertcart.com Review: Brilliant - What can one say - arguably one of the best films ever made, certainly in my top ten. Review: an intimate tragedy - With the possible exception of Little Big Man, this film brings to life the uniqueness of an indian culture - the Sioux - with a sensitivity and intelligence that is without equal. Not only that, but the film aged extremely well and did not in the slightest feel outdated. Given the quirkiness of the Kostner character, who is not by any means some kind of noble hero, and absolutely first-rate acting, and you have a masterpiece. The films starts during the Civil War, when an injured Kostner makes a gesture of despair and hope, to gain access to the officers' surgeon to save his wounded leg. Offered whatever assignment he desires, he chooses the frontier, to witness it before it disappears. So starts a journey in which he joins a Sioux tribe and achieves the status of warrior. It is a success that I have not found in any other cinematic experience - utterly convincing, painfully intimate, full of mistakes, and ultimately sad. It is a spiritual journey to find his true identity and completely believable, even with the ambiguity of the ending. I believe it is Kostner's best work. As he gets to know the tribe, the individual personalities emerge with wonderful clarity, but it is the portrait of the tribe as a whole, the culture, that was by far the most beautiful for me. There is grace, love, camaraderie, the sacred, and brutality all rolled into one. Little Big Man did the same for the Cheyenne, but there was always an element of parody and tall tale to the film that I felt was aimed at children. This film is adult, with realistically awful violence next to the beauty. Indeed, it has inspired me to research Sioux culture more deeply. My only criticisms include how crude the white interlopers appear. It makes you cheer when they are killed, though there is a good captain. Also, when becoming part of the tribe, Kostner supplies them with guns to fight another tribe, which I think is a profound violation of his duty as an army officer. Finally, the bit with the wolf is stretched to the point of the truly maudlin. Warmly recommended. My wife and I had seen this shortly after she moved with me to the US, so it was an introduction to American history for her, a European. Now, we watched it with our kids (in our European home) and they were utterly absorbed by it and full of questions, to the point that they will want to learn more. What more could you want?

an intimate tragedy
With the possible exception of Little Big Man, this film brings to life the uniqueness of an indian culture - the Sioux - with a sensitivity and intelligence that is without equal. Not only that, but the film aged extremely well and did not in the slightest feel outdated. Given the quirkiness of the Kostner character, who is not by any means some kind of noble hero, and absolutely first-rate acting, and you have a masterpiece.

A memorable, spectacular film and tale of death and redemption, that is less common and clichè that some people think
A successful yet quite underrated big film from Kevin Costner. His amazing debut behind the camera reveals an ambitious and clear approach to cinema (Costner, as he's always done as an actor, looks at classic cinema masters, so no wonder his debut is a western) and to an idea of America that has emerged throughout his filmography. Dances with wolves is a tale of rebellion and redemption, almost a way to re-elaborate the myth of America foundation under the critic eye of a pioneer (or a son of the conquest) that realizes that was not the right way to approach the New World. And so he metaphorically dies and resurrect, trying another way: that of the embrace of the unknown. As in the most maverick and unconformed american films, the hero is an outsider and someone who does not join the civilization and the impositions of the community or collectivity, but a guy who wanders alone, neglected and free, and just join who he recognize as his similar, meaning all those who have been banned or decided to escape from the major interests and values of Society. But it's an exile that finds no solution, and I appreciate that even at the end, Costner leaves us with an apparent hope but with no guarantee for the future to come (managing to make a film consistent up to the end with no big concession to Studios and Producers, despite the big budget he spent on this film). Through a compelling, sometimes ironic, mostly spectacular and totally enojable storytelling, Costner tells us all those things, with the essential performance of a fifties actor and the passionate innocence of a genuine director, who does not care about what the critics will think or how many people will watch his creation. But just with urgent need of putting all himself into it and make it memorable

Dances With BluRay
Forget the naysayers - for those of us who don't live in our parents basements surrounded by Cheetos and spend our lives on internet forums, this Dances With Wolves BluRay will answer the prayers of all fans of this underrated film; a strange notion as it is a best picture winner. Yes, it is the "shorter" version. It is also the theatrical version. Dances With Wolves happens to be my favourite movie, but even I top out at 3 hours, so really... the 40 or so minutes that comprise the so-called "Extended/Director's Cut" isn't such a loss. Most importantly, we have a great movie on a great-looking BluRay. The picture quality is superb, the sound excellent, and with better equiped home cinemas than ever before, people will be discovering this fine film all over again and fully appreciate the scope, depth and astonishing cinematography that those initial audiences would have experienced in cinemas. Don't whine about it, just buy it. Films like this are why BluRay was created.

Wow que gran pelicula, hace años la vi por primera vez y me gustó, ahora después de tanto tiempo me pareció una joya, casi 4 horas que se te hacen poco. Referente a las características de la Versión en Blu-ray Edición de 25 aniversario, incluye un solo disco con la versión extendida, no incluye la Cinematográfica y solo un par de extras, no incluye tampoco ningun codigo para copia digital. Asi que pese a ser una Edición de Aniversario viene extremadamente sencilla, incluso la caja es de reciclaje, de esas con perforaciones interiores en ambas caras que la hacen muy pero muy endeble y no tiene Slipcover, afortunadamente llegó en buen estado y como siempre antes de tiempo. Imagine que estarían disponibles las 2 versiones en esta presentación, el anuncio trae por ahí hay una dudosa descripción del contenido al momento de hacer la compra y te hace pensar que incluye 2 discos, pero después de leer y releer no hay nada que diga que incluye las dos versiones ni los dos discos. (Equivocación mia). Aún así, la película es Maravillosa que es todo lo que verdaderamente importa, es todo belleza y cuenta con una producción impactante de las de antaño, con cero CGI como las de ahora; La imagen es extraordinaria y el sonido más que decente para una película de estas características. Esta presentación no trae doblaje al Español, únicamente Subtitulos que para mi en lo particular esta bien con el sonido Original. Estoy más que satisfecho con la compra. Lo que si, como uno de mis nuevos tesoros en mi colección, le cambiaré el estuche. Quizás más adelante adquiera la Edición del 20 Aniversario que creo sólo incluye la versión cinematográfica para hacer la comparación de ambas. La Edición Steelbook incluye las 2 versiones es cierto, además de ser mil veces mas bonita, pero la versión extendida en esa presentación tengo entendido no incluye subtitulos en Español.

Bei diesem Film von 1990 ist Kevin Costner nicht nur Hauptdarsteller, sondern auch Regisseur und Co-Produzent. Es gibt viele Filme, die sich mit Amerikas Ureinwohnern befassen, aber dieses Werk ist sicherlich eines der eindringlichsten und gefühlvollsten. Nach einer Schlacht mit Indianern findet sich Lt. John Dunbar (Kevin Costner), an beiden Beinen verletzt, in Fort Hayes / South Dakota wieder. Er beschließt, sich einem Nachschubtransport für Fort Sedgwick/Wyoming anzuschließen, um den Westen kennenzulernen, so lange es ihn noch gibt. Dort angekommen muss er erkennen, dass das Fort verlassen und in einem völlig verwahrlosten Zustand ist. Er beschließt, Ordnung zu schaffen, damit die Ablösung - mit der er fest rechnet - das Fort in einem ordnungsgemäßen Zustand vorfindet. Doch es kommt anders. Zunächst trifft er auf einen Wolf, der sich am Fort herumtreibt und den er wg. der Färbung seiner Vorderläufe "Two Socks" nennt. Dann taucht ein Indianer vom Stamm der Sioux auf und versucht vergeblich, Dunbars Pferd "Cisco" zu stehlen. Im Laufe der Zeit freundet sich Dunbar mit den Sioux an und bekommt von ihnen den Namen "Dances With Wolves". Im weiteren Verlauf werden die Sioux zutraulicher und Dunbar wird von ihnen als Freund akzeptiert. Vor allem ihr Medizinmann "Kickin Bird" (Graham Greene) interessiert sich immer mehr für ihn und es entwickelt so etwas wie eine Freundschaft. Dunbar ist fasziniert vom Leben des Stammes und seinen Riten und Sitten. Dann trifft er auf "Stands With A Fist" (Mary McDonnell), die ihren Mann verloren hat und es entwickelt sich ein Verhältnis. Äußerst eindrucksvoll wird das tägliche Leben des Sioux-Stammes geschildert - eine faszinierende Welt für denjenigen, der unvoreingenommen wie Dunbar am Leben der Indianer teilnimmt. Dunbar versucht "Kickin Bird" und auch dem Häuptling zu erklären, dass das unbeschwerte Leben, das die Sioux seit Jahrhunderten in Wyoming geführt haben, bald zu Ende sein wird. Immer mehr Weiße werden kommen. Die Büffel bleiben bereits aus, was zu größter Besorgnis bei den Indianern führt. Weiße Jäger dezimieren ihre Anzahl. Dann kommt doch noch eine Herde und die Nahrung für den Winter ist gesichert. Derweil kommen sich "Standing With A Fist" und Dunbar immer näher...Das Idyll soll jedoch sehr bald ein schreckliches Ende finden! Als Zuschauer ist man hingerissen vom intensiven Spiel der Indianer, von ihren Sitten und Bräuchen und man erkennt, was von der "Zivilisation" zerstört wurde. "Der mit dem Wolf tanzt" ist ein Meisterwerk, das mit 7 Oscars ausgezeichnet wurde. Ein Film, der Geschichte schreibt und einen noch lange nach dem Seherlebnis in einer traurig, melancholischen Stimmung zurücklässt. Die mehr als 3,5 Stunden Laufzeit vergehen wie im Fluge. Man kann diesen Film getrost als Meisterwerk bezeichnen! Das Bild ist Widescreen 2.21:1 (Farbe), der Ton Dolby Digital 5.1. Als Extras gibt es verschiedene Trailer.

『ショーシャンクの空に』とともに、外国映画の中で特に好きな映画である。通常版では伝わり切れない部分があったが、4時間が短く感じるほどのディレクターズカットであった。かつて『Uボート』も、テレビ版を見てやっとその物語が理解できた経験から、どうしてもこれが欲しかったのだ。この度、ほぼ新品といえる状態の商品を入手でき、感謝に堪えない。それにしても『蹴る鳥』にオスカーが・・・これだけは残念だ。
