Out-Of-Sequence Scene
If you have a good eye for seeing little nuances in movies, you will certainly have noticed this. Costner rides up to proclaim the arrival of the bison in the final scene. It’s one of the only out-of-sequence shots in the movie. He’s dressed casually in jeans and a shirt, while everyone else on set is wearing heavy coats because it’s cold outdoors.
Out Of Sequence Scene
Included In The National Film Registry
Obviously, not all movies are eligible for the National Film Registry. This designation is designated for films that cause the Earth to move after their release for various causes. For Dances With Wolves, it was straightforward. It was chosen as a “culturally, historically, or artistically significant picture” in 2007. With all three, it appeared to have hit the nail on the head. The real question is why did it take so long for the registry to add this film?
