I’ve only seen Dances with Wolves once. That ends tonight. Podcast homework.
Every Native actor from the 90s is in this film.
Kevin Costner claimed to be “Cherokee.” Art imitates life. A Pretendian plays a Pretendian in this epic Lawrence Arabia of the Plains.
What’s up with the guy peeing his pants 15 mins in?
He called Indian country “wild and hostile” and proceeds to pee ‘em.
Dunbar tries to kill himself right away. He gets promoted for failing to complete his task, failing upwards.
Dunbar is a hipster from Brooklyn, writing his great Hemingway novel on the plains. 
Magua gives free haircuts to trespassers.
Dunbar is really into cottage-core. Definite hipster vibes.
That one white guy heading to the plenary panel on Indian history.
The Natives on the panel when that white guy is the first to ask a question.
This is the only person in the tribe who doesn’t bath or brush their hair.
Magua is the baddest dude. He’s called “Toughest Pawnee.”
Dunbar is the least interesting character. Oscar-nominated acting here:
Lol
This is 3 hours long!?
The horse work is really amazing. These actors (minus Costner) can really ride.
This script sounds like a Boy Scout wrote it. So bad. Lol.
White manhood fantasies.
Omg. This film is so corntown. It’s AMAZING!
Controversial opinion: Water World is Costner’s best acting, not this movie.
Wypipo tipi creeping. Burning man or Dances with Wolves?
Where I’m at.
Magua was right.
Can Wes Studi and Tantoo Cardinal be cast in primary roles for once? Please.
Dunbar records everything in a notebook, taking stories. He’s literally an anthropologist.
Moral of the movie: white people can only understand and stop killing Indians by becoming them.
