Kevin Costner expressed his patriotism and optimism for the future in a heartfelt Instagram post on July 4th. The 68-year-old actor shared a photo from his directorial debut film, “Dances With Wolves,” where he can be seen holding an American flag.
In his caption, Costner wrote, “Happy Fourth, friends. I’ve dedicated my career to exploring the history of America, both its flaws and its beauty.” He then added, “Today, I celebrate the hope that motivated our ancestors and I hope it continues to inspire us to work towards a more perfect Union, together.”
Costner played the role of Union Army Lieutenant John Dunbar in “Dances With Wolves,” a film set in the American frontier. The movie, which Costner also produced and directed, is widely credited for revitalizing the Western genre in the film industry.
“Dances With Wolves” received 12 Academy Award nominations and won seven, including Best Picture and Best Director for Costner. In 2007, the film was recognized as culturally and historically significant by the Library of Congress and was preserved in the National Film Registry.
Currently, Costner is working on a new project called “Horizon: An American Saga.” This film will delve into the 15-year period of pre- and post-Civil War expansion and settlement in the American West.
While Costner’s professional life is thriving, his personal life has taken an unexpected turn. Costner recently went through a divorce from his estranged wife, Christine Baumgartner, after 18 years of marriage. Both parties have filed for joint custody of their three children and a hearing is scheduled for July 5 in the civil case.
In conclusion, Kevin Costner’s patriotic post on July 4th reflects his deep love for America’s history and his optimism for the future. Despite personal challenges, his career continues to flourish as he takes on new projects that explore different aspects of the American story.
