Why didn't Epic Movie spoof this is all I want to know? Kevin Costner who stars and directs in the sweeping film 'Dances with Wolves' has delivered an epic of all proportions. It is a human drama, it is a classic Western, a civil war film and a film about understanding of Native Americans. Costner plays Lieutenant John Dunbar or as he will come to be known by the Native Americans - 'Dances with Wolves.' The story goes that Lt. John Dunbar, exiled to a remote western Civil War outpost, befriends wolves and Indians, making him an intolerable aberration in the military. The film is one of the first of it's kind to treat Native American's with respect, this is an intelligent film about breaking down the barriers of communications between a tribe of Native Americans and Dunbar. The story is brilliant and the acting is wonderful. The music score by John Barry is brilliant and his best alongside his score for 'Out of Africa' and I won't mention the Bond theme because no one really knows who really did it. The cinematography is brilliant and in my favorite scene from the film that is in perfect showcase. Late at night Dunbar is woken by the sound of buffalo. He can't see anything through the fog as he runs into the open field and as he stands there he is surrounded by a herd of buffalo who emerge from the mist and on the characters face emerges a look of wonder and amazement. How wonderful it is that the audience shared the same reaction throughout the whole movie.
