Laguna Beach, Calif. A neighbor across the street from an unruly party on June 17, 1990, recorded a harrowing 90 seconds of violence. Although a car partly blocked the view, an officer can be seen on camera swinging his leg in a kick at Kevin Dunbar, 24, a homeless man, while a number of other officers held him after he refused to obey an order to get down on the ground.

...Dunbar drops out of his executive position in a large, hierarchical organization engaged in morally questionable work in order to get closer to nature -- his own and Mother's. Once settled in the wilderness, he proves to be a sensitive and caring ecologist, tenderly nursing the land and its creatures.

Dances with Wolves -- it is the name the Sioux give Dunbar -- is a movie that is very easy to make fun of, and not merely because of Dunbar's risible ahistoricism. It would be nice, for instance, to meet some white man, other than Dunbar, who is not a brutish lout. And it would not harm the film if there were one or two bad-natured Sioux visible in it. (The Pawnee, who obviously need a p.r. consultant, are portrayed as the scourge of the prairies.) It is, as well, all too easy to see why Costner -- or any actor...
