After 13 years I've seen the movie again on TV. Great Tv night!! This picture has not lost any of its splendour over the years!! It definitely IS the groundbreaking masterpiece in depicting the American natives' lives from a different viewpoint and still deserves all the Oscars it got at the time. My only objection is that Kevin Costner puts himself in the frame just a bit too often and for too long. As for the rest, the performances are impressive, the story heartwarming and heartbreaking, totally believable, the production design just awesome and the direction, though sagging at times,as good as it can get. Kevin Costner should stick to direction, here he shows a wonderful talent. Did he exhaust himself in the realization of this project, which had been his great dream for a long time, or whatever happened to his directing skills after this movie??
