Absolutely! Some people can't even talk about actual issues they may have with the film, without bringing hoary old anti-Costner baggage in. Even David Brin has mentioned that, despite the vast difference between the film and his novel, they actually did hit the core points in some very moving ways.

well, anyway...here's a blast from the past....
