I just saw the movie. I don't think we saw the same movie. You say you've been rooting for Kevin Costner to return to film making but you've never seen Dances with Wolves. I don't think you were rooting for him at all. You're lying to yourself.
I would 100% go watch Dances with Wolves. Does it age well? I think so. It is credited as a leading influence for the revitalization of the Western genre of filmmaking in Hollywood. In 2007, Dances with Wolves was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". He was honored by the Lakota nation as an honorary Sioux by the actual native tribe. It’s a 100% must watch film. Promise.
I don’t think it has anything to do with Costner, or western genre. It’s probably more that money’s tight. And people are fed up with Hollywood bullshit.
Inside Out 2 has just made over $1 BILLION in the last 2 weeks and is still climbing. While Horizon just dropped another spot to #5 behind a movie called "The Story of Possum Trot"( No Joke, that's really a movie) So on July 4th TWICE as many people Chose to buys tix to see 'Possum'($3.6 mil) over Costner's Western ($1.8M) .
@@daveclark8337 good thing inside out is making that money to payoff its losses for Echo& The Acolyte. 1 single episode of the acolyte cost more than Dances with Wolves entire movie production. Quality is light years difference.
Some constructive criticism: Work on your narration. “There have been arguments back and forth on whether the film has aged well” should be: “There have been arguments back and forth *about* whether the film has aged well.” “Costner’s directorial career has been proven to be with some ups and downs” should be: “Costner’s directorial career has *had* some ups and downs.” “Costner himself has gone through failure in the film industry a few years times in a row” should be: “Costner has experienced failure in the film industry a few times.” I may seem strict, but errors like the above undercut your authority. I stopped listening.
@@lakotabodine8196 oh noooo not the evil “wokeness” 😞😞😞 let’s go back to a time of ignorance where we can be proud of our stupidity again without being laughed at!
He’s never watched Dances with Wolves. Dances with Wolves was made for 22 million and 3 million of his own money again back in 1990 and the money and reception is history. 22 million, 1 episode of the acolyte cost almost double.
@@daveclark8337 Hollywood has something against him. All the crap Disney said about fans review bombing the acolyte well the critics reviewed bombed Horizon over politics not the movie. Hollywood is a joke. Again acolyte is over 200 million. More than house of dragon S2 by a lot and it got near 90% critic. It’s all a joke. As far as his acting goes he is not a good actor. But he is way better director than many in the industry. It’s not close
@@MichaelPK03 The critics didn't like The Beekeeper, Kingdom Planet of the Apes , Garfield, Bad Boys 4, Madame Web, IF, Ghostbusters Frozen, etc etc but they still all Made at least $100 million at the box office this year. Stop with the Excuses! It's The Postman all over again . The real embarrassment hits when Chapter 2 opens next month and flops even harder at the box office.
@@daveclark8337 how much did all those movies cost to make? The only good movie to come out so far is Dune 2. Madem Webb is as bad of a disaster as the Acolyte. They lost money on Madem Webb. They are making up there losses on these crap movies your bringing up with inside out 2. Theatre doing has dropped. We just have to be realistic there however streaming numbers haven’t unless the show sucks.
the zoomer attention span cannot handle a slow buildup towards a grand payoff. Also, indians were quite hostile. It is not so much a trope as it is a fact of history.
