Movie Reviews of 500 Nations
Movie Review: Wonderful, Wonderful and Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
Just too good to be described in words. All the History lovers must watch this movie. Throws light in great details on the 500 nations that inhabited America over centuries. About their lifestyle, rise and fall of empires, their cultures and Spainish and British invasions on the lands, riches as well as cultures. Battles of Different Indian tribes against the invasions and their struggle to survive and the cruel behaviour of the Spainish and English.
Witness the worst deeds done by the different U.S governments till the end of 19th centuary to wrongfully seize the land and other riches of native Indian Nations. Betrayals of the U.S governments in signning treaties and then stabbing in the back the innocent people. A must see for every history lover.
Movie Review: Brings History alive
Summary: 5 Stars
This documentary is so fantastic, I hardly knew that it was one. The photography is brilliant, and it is a well written factual film. It makes you feel what the Indians mush have felt at the injustices they suffered. 500 NationsKevin Costner did a fantastic job, as did the rest of the crew. I actually felt like I was on the Trail of TearsThe Trail of Tears: Cherokee Legacy, and at Wounded KneeBury My Heart at Wounded Knee. I now have a much deeper respect for my ancestors, well at least the Red ones.Movie Review: Should be required viewing by all, so called, Americans.
Summary: 5 Stars
I was drawn in, at first, by the title and after a few minutes of viewing the second installment (as I was viewing it on the Discovery Times channel marathon;2-19-05) I devoted the rest of the day to it. So enraptured I was, I inevitably found myself here ordering this series on DVD.
The last episode is still playing as I write and I find myself (a 40+ year old man) literally in tears. The emotion leftover from the episode describing my own tribes history which, albiet brief here, is only one of the innumerous tragic events portrayed in this important documentary.
I also feel some political and theological comparisons to our current situation should be explored.
Movie Review: Educational
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always had a desire to hear bout our native peoples/culture and history. This DVD was very enlightening. Most movies are written by others about the Indian nations. This brought so much insight of the history and their fight/plight they have had to endure through out time. It has opened my eyes to new facts and information which I had very little knowledge. I feel its a must see if you have any desire to know the history of the indian nations which has been portrayed by Hollywood and others as "savages" and wild. I always have had a lot of respect for the native americans. Now I have a much more rich knowledge and a deeper respect for these proud people. Its a must see for sure.Movie Review: Every American should view these!
Summary: 5 Stars
These DVD's are some of the best I have seen from the Native American point of view. It follows the history of North American Natives as they saw it. If all you get out of these is that there was a bunch of killing and enslavement than you missed the point.
What a tragedy the Natives endured. What an injustice that took place to such a peace loving and nature loving people. This wrong can never be made right. The saddest part of it all is the life the Natives are left with today.
These DVD's are just the first chapter of a sad commentary about the Natives. This commentary is still going on.
