Carefully documented epic that attempted to realistically portray the life of the American Sioux in the early 19th century. When an English lord (Richard harris) is captured by a Sioux Indian tribe, he is given to the chief's aging mother (Dame Judith Anderson) as a servant. Gradually, he embraces the tribe's way of life and falls in love with the chief's sister. But before he can be accepted with honor, as an equal member of the tribe, he must take part in the sun vow - an extreme ritual that will test his dedication and commitment. (Paramount Pictures AU)

Richard Harris was a great choice, because I can't imagine a better, and especially whiter, actor to contrast with the Indians. And although A Man Called Horse is far from Little Big Man or Dances with Wolves in every respect, it is a successful film with some really evocative scenes that will definitely stick in my memory.
