Avatar: 1 line theme ×1

  1. theme (theme): Avatar → Dances with Wolves. Avatar belongs to the interloper-story family but is not like Dances with Wolves or The Last Samurai.
    “something like Dances with Wolves, Last Samurai, whichever one of these movies you want to throw out there. Interloper movies.”

Driving Miss Daisy: 1 line contrast ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): Dances with Wolves → Driving Miss Daisy. Unlike Driving Miss Daisy, Dances with Wolves is not offensive in its depiction of native people.

Eraserhead: 1 line contrast ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): Eraserhead → Dances with Wolves. Dances with Wolves is argued to be a rough draft of what Costner figured out later despite winning Best Picture.
    “this is a rough draft for what he fucking figured out later, even though the world responded to it at the time as masterpiece.”

John Barry: 1 line verdict ×1

  1. verdict (verdict): John Barry → Dances with Wolves. Barry's Dances with Wolves score is called possibly the greatest power boost a score ever gave a movie.

Kevin Costner: 1 line career ×1

  1. career (career): Kevin Costner → Dances with Wolves. Costner, fresh off Dances with Wolves, could make any film; his blessing and Buena Vista deal shaped Tombstone.
    “Costner was coming off dancing with wolves and could make any movie he wanted and that he bowed out of this.”
