Episode 91 - Dances with Wolves

(Wooden Actor's Tour De Force)



Directed by Kevin Costner

In this episode of the Middle Age Movie Views Podcast, the guys travel back to the time of the Old West. Dances with Wolves is on the review docket tonight. A film that explores the disillusionment of soldiers during the Civil War through the journey of John Dunbar. A Lieutenant who seeks to understand and connect with Native American culture.


Tim and Matt discuss the film's rich symbolism and character development that challenges traditional Western genre tropes, while its portrayal of warfare reflects the brutal realities of the time.


Rick talks a little on how the cinematography beautifully captures the American frontier, and the film's success has led to a renewed interest in Native American stories in cinema. The guys also delve into the themes and cultural nuances presented in the film 'Dances with Wolves.'



Tim talks about the survival tactics of Dunbar, and the significance of cultural names. The discussion highlights the complexities of Dunbar's interactions with the Sioux and Pawnee tribes. As Matt gives his opinion on the supernatural elements that may influence his journey, and the romantic developments with Stands With Fist.


The buffalo hunt serves as a pivotal moment that bridges relationships and cultural understanding, culminating in Dunbar receiving his true name, 'Dances with Wolves.' They all dive deep into the iconic film filled with character nuance beyond the acting capabilities of Kevin Costner.
