Kevin Costner: Acting
built 230 days ago
Kevin Costner’s Open Range is a very good western. The performances are uniformly fine with but with superlative craftwork from Costner, as the taciturn Charley Waite, and Robert Duvall as the gruff Boss Spearman. Though others pass through the frame this is really a kind of buddy picture with the relationship between them front and centre.

The Kevin Costner character is usually a victim of political or social oppression. Whatever side he's on is not the side that won; whatever tenets he believes are not the PC line. He fights his oppression, survives it, and finds some way to continue to live in a world dominated by his oppressors (who are by definition the bad guys).

Costner became interested in acting whilst in college, and on graduation married Cindy. The couple honeymooned in Puerto Vallarta, and on the return plane journey had a chance encounter with actor and fellow passenger Richard Burton, and struck up a conversation with him.[1] Burton advised the young man that if he wanted to pursue acting, he should give everything up completely and go after it with both hands.

Costner has always felt that, if such a thing as reincarnation exists, he was a pioneer in a previous life. He really feels like a kindred spirit with the Westerners who lived during the time when a man was a man, and justice was served by the barrel of a gun. After graduating high school, Costner built a canoe and traveled the same itinerary and rivers as Lewis and Clark did in their famous expedition to the Pacific.
