Movie in Ludlow, Thursday Aug. 2

The next ‘1^st Thursday’ movie, presented by FOLA (Friends of Ludlow Auditorium) on Thursday, August 2 at the Ludlow Town Hall Auditorium at 7 PM, 'Dances with Wolves', is a 1990 epic western film directed, produced by, and starringKevin Costner. It  tells the story of a Union Army lieutenantwho travels to the American frontier to find a military post, and his dealings with a group of Lakota Indians. The film won best picture Oscar plus five other Academy Awards.  Lt. John Dunbar is dubbed a hero after he accidentally leads Union troops to a victory during the Civil War. He requests a position on the western frontier, but finds it deserted. He soon finds out he is not alone, but meets a wolf he dubs "Two-socks" and a curious Indian tribe. Dunbar quickly makes friends with the tribe, and discovers a white woman who was raised by the Indians. He gradually earns the respect of these native people, and sheds his white-man's ways.  Having been sent to a remote outpost in the wilderness of the Dakota territory during the American Civil War, Lieutenant John Dunbar encounters, and is eventually accepted into, the local Sioux tribe. He is known as "Dances with Wolves" to them and as time passes he becomes enamoured by the beautiful "Stands With a Fist". Not soon after, the frontier becomes the frontier no more, and as the army advances on the plains, John must make a decision that will not only affect him, but also the lives of the natives he now calls his people.  The movie is free to all; donations are appreciated.
