Dances with Wolves 与狼共舞

《与狼共舞》是自奥斯卡奖颁奖以来第一部获奖的西部片。1991年1月，《与狼共舞》压倒了呼声很高的《教父第三集》和《四海好伙伴》(Goodfellas)，入选好莱坞金球奖最佳影片。

这是一部反映西部历史的史诗片。通过主人公John Dunbar 的视角，观众逐步深入陌生的印第安社会、文化、习俗、日常生活以至其代表人物的内心世界，也看到西部广袤无垠的大草原风光。影片优美壮观的画面和激昂带着苍凉的音乐，都让人难以忘怀。值得一提的还有关于主人公和一只狼的友谊，细腻生动地体现了人和动物之间感人的关系。



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.
