Dealing with Wolves: Those wolves in the movie weren’t as friendly as they looked. One of the trainers even got bitten! Kevin Costner had to step in to finish the scene, tossing meat to the wolf to keep it calm. It’s a good reminder that working with wild animals can be dangerous.
Historical Mix-Ups: There are a lot of little mistakes in “Dances with Wolves” that you might not notice unless you’re really paying attention. Like, they show a tin can in one scene, but those weren’t common back then. And they didn’t always get the details right – like, most Sioux didn’t use saddles, but the actors did because they felt safer.
Nature’s Tricks: They had to do some fancy footwork to make everything look right in the movie. Like, they had to bring in truckloads of water every day to keep a pond full, even though there was a drought. And some scenes that got cut from the movie explain things that aren’t clear, like why a fort was abandoned.
Little Mistakes: There are a bunch of little things in the movie that might not seem important, but they can still bug you if you notice them. Like, sometimes the characters’ clothes change from one shot to the next, or you can see the crew in the background.
So, next time you watch “Dances with Wolves,” keep an eye out for these mistakes. Even though it’s a classic, it’s not perfect – just like the rest of us!
