Movie Haiku:Personal Best for director, producer & star Kevin Costner + John Barry's most Wagnerian score. (Go West, Young Siegfried!) Costner demonstrates his sincerity through his respect for language: when the Indians are together, they speak Lakota. The "white man" is the outsider here, struggling for acceptance. Greene & McDonnell are both extraordinary.
