The filming of "Dancing with Wolves" lasted for four months. The main scenes were taken from South Dakota and Wyoming, including natural areas such as Badlands National Park, Black Mountain, Sage Creek Wilderness, and the Belforth River. Scenic spot. Due to the changeable weather in South Dakota, the untamed wolves and the Indians fighting scenes are very complicated, the filming cycle has been repeatedly delayed. As the highlight of the film, the bison hunting scene took three weeks to complete. The crew used 100 Indian stunt riders and thousands of bison. In the huge herd, none of the bison comes from CGI special effects, and only a few are electronic models. In fact, Costner employed the largest bison farm in the United States, and two domesticated bison in the film were borrowed from Neil Young. Because Kevin Costner collaborates with animals in field shooting, budget overruns are inevitable. When the shooting drew to a close, Costner had to invest 3 million US dollars on his own, and the cost of the film increased to 18 million US dollars.

1.28 236min director's cut version, every shot is meaningful. Experience, call and choice, fate and coincidence, are as irresistible as flowing water. The concept of humans is not big, but wildness prevails, nature reveals no concealment, cultural purity, no boundaries between right and wrong, and the wheels of history are crushed to perceive the helplessness in it. It doesn't matter whether it is criticism or tragedy, only one can tell whether it is an enemy or a friend.

It came out slowly. The story is interesting, the Indians, the awe of nature, etc. There are also many clichés. Basically, I can guess the next plot. It is a routine work. Many animals died in order to make this film, right? The director’s temperament and photography are worth three stars, and everything else is general, even more fucking

John Dunbar: [after Dunbar's suicide attempt at the enemy lines] Don't take off my foot.
General Tide: You rest easy, son. You'll keep your foot. As God is my judge, you'll keep it.
General Tide: [removes his hat in respect and turns to his aide] Bring up my ambulance.
General's Aide: Sir?
General Tide: Bring up my ambulance! And my surgeon with it!
General Tide: [turns back to Dunbar] We got an officer who's worth something lying here.

Sergeant Pepper: [at the inactive battlefield] Some of the boys are saying that if we ain't gonna fight we could just settle the whole business with a little high stakes poker. Wouldn't that be a sight... a bunch of fellas sitting in the middle of this field drawing cards...
