Movie Reviews of Dreamkeeper
Movie Review: Mark this for a great movie!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I liked this one and anticipated it coming out. I saw reviews of it and it looked fantastic then. But seeing the movie and following the story is great. I would recommend reading about the people, legends, and how this stories / legends came about.
But just great entertainment. The story is relevant today. Seeing how the young and current generations have lost interest / faith in past traditions. New age beliefs and way of life have made life into a world of convenience.
Summary of Dreamkeeper
DREAMKEEPER (DVD MOVIE)While it doesn't hold together as a three-hour TV drama, Dreamkeeper should prove enthralling to anyone interested in Native American myths and legends. A variety of tribal folklore provides the episodic thrust of this typical Hallmark production, which relies too heavily on digital effects--and the plodding direction of Hallmark regular Steve Barron--in telling the story of a resentful Lakota teenager (Eddie Spears) who reluctantly agrees to drive his wise old grandfather (August Schellenberg) from their South Dakota "rez" to an All-Nations Powwow in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Along the way, the tradition-bound elder serves as tribal "dreamkeeper" for his initially resistant grandson, who gradually realizes that his grandfather's stories--visualized through effects-laden reenactments involving all manner of magic and mystery--are essential in preserving the fading cultures of the Lakota and the several other tribes whose folklore depends on unbroken generations of oral tradition. While some of the lavishly dramatized tales can stand alone as authentic Native American myth-making, Dreamkeeper lacks the overall structure that could've given the stories a cumulative magical impact. Still, it's an admirable attempt to introduce neglected cultures into the television mainstream. --Jeff Shannon
