Conference bookie::movies

    I was re-glazing some windows in my basement and sort of listening to
    the broadcast and I somehow missed the added part about the original
    soldiers at Ft. Sedgwick.  Re-glazing windows can lead to a glazing of
    the brain I guess.
    
    Would someone be so kind as to give me the rundown on that part?
    
    Thanks,

    P.S.
     DWW is a beautiful movies and I think the native american actors are
    superb.  Their facial expressions alone are worth the price of
    admission.
    
    

	Sadly this is another topic that had been lost when the
	original conference was lost :-(

	The cut shown on ABC last night should of been close
	to the Directors cut I believe.  From what I remember
	of the previous conference, this cut has already been
	released on video in some other countries.  It wasn't
	released on video here (USA) I guess because they must
	of had a deal with ABC.  Hopefully it will be released
	on video (probably just in time for the Holidays if that's
	how they timed it).

    Would anyone care to tell us what the added content was?
    
    
    Thanks,

    Well watched  part 2 last night.
    
    What a great movie in the extended version.
    
    There is so much added back it's just too much to list. It appears a lot
    of it is dicussions, small talk between the characters. Entire scenes I
    don't remember at all. Scenes that reinforced what the director was
    trying to say in this film.
    
    They really should make it available in the US now.

    getting this 'new' version when it comes out too.

    Agreed, I really enjoyed the theater version, and I missed the TV
    showing. I am really looking forward to seeing this new version when it
    comes out.

    re:.1
    Well,they didn't show very much of the original soldiers at the fort.
    But what they *did* show was a group of rag-tag guys who were royally
    pissed-off at Uncle Sam for more or less abandoning them.The lieutenant
    in charge (who nobody obeyed much,I guess) was shown addressing the men
    and leading them out on horseback shortly before Dunbar got there. It
    was ironic that the main gripe was that the army didn't re-supply them
    and Dunbar arrives with the re-supply. It was never made clear exactly
    *where* they rode off to either.

    Just to put my 2 cents in.....I saw the movie version at the theatre
    when it came out  (I didn't think I could sit for 3 hours but I was
    MESMERIZED by this movie) it was so excellent I cannot believe that
    people compared  Last of the Mohicans to this (I thought Mohicans
    stunk..sorry)  I also watched the TV version of Dances and I LOVED
    it ...it showed more of the romance (which I enjoyed) and the
    reason around the "holes" that were dug for some unexplained reason
    in the theatre version.
    
    All in all I just wanted to say  I think this movie (winner of 7 
    academy awards) was in my estimation  WORTHY of all 7.
    
    This movie was so well done  and  I have to mention one more thing
    ...Anyone really notice the beautiful background music in this flick?
    It is superb.

re: the music
I purchased the sound track because I loved the music so much.  I cant listen to
it without a tear coming to my eye.  I wept thru the movie esp the ending. Not 
that the scenes were sad, just the movie got to me.   :-)

    The soundtrack is by John Barry.  Other credits include several
    several James Bond movies (Goldfinger comes to mind), Born Free,
    Out of Africa, The Wrong Box, and The Lion in Winter.

    Finally, the Director's Cut will be released in September.  It will
    contain 55 more minutes than the original.

	Will it be released in widescreen format ?


I hope so
