Dances with Wolves is a 1990 epic film which tells the story of a United States cavalry officer in the 1860s who befriends a band of Sioux Indians, sacrificing his career and ties to his own people. The film is unusual in that much of the dialogue is in the Lakota language with English subtitles.

Production

---

The movie's screenplay was adapted by Michael Blake from his novel of the same title. It was Kevin Costner who, in early 1986 (when he was relatively unknown), encouraged Blake to turn an idea for a story into a novel. Dances with Wolves was rejected by numerous publishers but finally published in paperback in 1988. The film was directed by Costner.

Filming lasted from July 18 to November 23, 1989. Most of the movie was filmed on location in South Dakota, but a few scenes were filmed in Wyoming. Filming locations included the Badlands National Park, the Black Hills, the Sage Creek Wilderness Area, and the Belle Fourche River area. The buffalo hunt scenes were filmed at the Triple U Buffalo Ranch near Pierre, South Dakota. ^*

Just saw Avatar. Very cool! Would recommend it to anyone who thought Dances With Wolves didn't have enough neon or exploding dinosaurs.
