1990 winner.
Double nominee on this one;worst ever Oscar winner and worst historical film ever made.Dances With Wolves,from start to finish,has so many historical errors and just plain wrong things in it that it would take several posts just to point them out.As a history buff with a special interest in the Indian wars,it was painful to sit through it.This film often is shown on cable,and after almost 20 years am still unable to view it,so no longer try.The Dakota plains of 1863 were a far different place than was portrayed in the film,and the Sioux (Lakota) conducted themselves in a far more violent,brutal way,not at all like the peaceful,noble,good hearted men in the film.This work is left wing Hollywood revisionism at its worst;made the way we think it should have been,not the way it actually was.
