The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsOn about my half-dozenth viewing of Dances With Wolves, I just noticed something.
Stands With A Fist's hair is a mess. All the Indians' hair is beautifully perfect, and DWW's got that Bon Jovi thing going. But Stands With A Fist's hair is totally freakshow. There's even a scene with Kicking Bird's wife combing it out, and still nothing good happens.
Is this a widely known thing, and I just missed it all these years?

(21,020 posts)My hair is very babyfine and it always looks messy no matter what I do to it.
When I was a teenager it was very long, and even though I carried a comb around with me everywhere and combed it constantly, ignorant kids would still tell my my hair needed combing. The only way it's not messy is when it's maybe 3 inches long.
I still feel more fortunate than one of my sisters whose hair is not only babyfine like mine, but very frizzy as well. Her head always looks like a used Brillo pad.
Anyway, I've seen that movie many times myself. I think I have a crush on "Wind In His Hair"...
