Kevin Costner turns in a sweeping Western epic that turns out to be less about the landscapes that most Westerns focus on, and more about acceptance of cultures other than our own. Controversial because of its depiction of the American military, this movie dares to claim that forcing Western culture on our Native American neighbors may not be the best thing to do. It's also notable for allowing the Native American characters speak in their own language. Really a fascinating film on many fronts, but not better than Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas.
