Dances with Wolves 與狼共舞

《與狼共舞》是自奧斯卡獎頒獎以來第一部獲獎的西部片。1991年1月，《與狼共舞》壓倒了呼聲很高的《教父第三集》和《四海好夥伴》(Goodfellas)，入選好萊塢金球獎最佳影片。

這是一部反映西部曆史的史詩片。通過主人公John Dunbar 的視角，觀眾逐步深入陌生的印第安社會、文化、習俗、日常生活以至其代表人物的內心世界，也看到西部廣袤無垠的大草原風光。影片優美壯觀的畫麵和激昂帶著蒼涼的音樂，都讓人難以忘懷。值得一提的還有關於主人公和一隻狼的友誼，細膩生動地體現了人和動物之間感人的關係。



Dances with Wolves is a very beautiful movie based on a novel by Michael Blake. It is directed by Kevin Costner who also played the leading role of John Dunbar. Lieutenant John Dubar accidentally becomes a hero when he leads his troops to a victory during the American Civil War. After that, he requests to be placed on a post on the western frontier in Dakota territory. When he comes there the place appears to be abandoned. While waiting for other soldiers to come, he becomes friends with a wolf who he named "Two Socks". After a while Indians show up, but they do not kill him. Dunbar quickly makes friends with the tribe, and discovers a white woman " Stands with a fist" (Mary McDonnell) who was raised by the Indians. He gradually earns the respect of these native people, and falls in love with "Stands with a fist". Because there are still no other soldiers, he leaves his post and starts to live with the Indians. Not soon after, the frontier becomes the frontier no more, and the army advances on the plains. When they find out he is a "traitor", they go after him and the tribe.
