Would you change Dances with Wolves (1990)? š¤š
#FromTheArchives: Last month, Reddit users shared how they would change the 1990 American Western Dances with Wolves, which was directed, produced, and led by Kevin Costner.
The Costner-led epic was a major cinematic success ā earning nine times its budget at the box office and winning seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.
But was also met with criticism for its historical inaccuracies and romanticized portrayal of Indigenous culture, with many arguing it perpetuates stereotypes and centers its white protagonist too heavily.
Although, not everyone sees it that way. Some Indigenous viewers applaud Dances with Wolves for its revisionist approach to the Western genre and its effort to portray Native life with more respect than most films of its time.
#SWIPE: To see top responses from the Reddit thread. We want to know... What are your honest thoughts on the 1990 film, and if you could, how would you change it?...
