Movie Review: Total Excellence in story and in Native American Heritage
Summary: 5 Stars
I felt sad and regret that this beautiful culture shown to us by the Native American is disappearing from our midst and what a crying shame that would be if we were to lose the beauty of their stories, their morals and their cultural backgrounds. Let us just hope that this culture can withstand the bombardment of the white man and maintain its own beautiful background and its own wonderful outlook on life, love, beauty and people in general. It breaks my heart knowing how much we lost when the white man tried so hard to totally decimate these wonderful people. May the prejudice toward them finally end and may they start sharing w/us more of their wondrous ways of life. I only wish I could have lived among them many, many years ago before the coming of the white man. Keep your spirits and your culture. You need them and we need them for ourselves also. We can surely use all the help we can get.Thanks to all who make these wonderful movies about these incredulously spiritual and intelligent peoples.
Movie Review: Amazon reviewer, what movie did you watch?!
Summary: 5 Stars
The other reviews do a good job of singing the praises of this movie, so I just want to add a few things:
Dreamkeeper does a brilliant job of weaving the traditional stories of the past with the present. Even my 12 year old commented on how well the stories were connected to the main plot, and brought together at the end. The Amazon reviewer who implied otherwise was obviously not paying attention or not as smart as a 12 year old.
Also, the special effects are outstanding. My boys who have been raised on Playstation 2 games and Star Wars movies were blown away. They LOVE this movie.
Finally, this is the only movie we own that is loved by every kid that views it here. We have had several parents borrow it only to end up buying their own copies. What makes this movie so special is that it is not patronizing or condescending. While I agree that it was not made for white people, anyone with an appreciation of other cultures will enjoy this movie immensely.
Movie Review: DreamKeeper's a truthfully amazing movie
Summary: 5 Stars
A really great formatted movie I have seen in years. This movie I watched on TV and it kept me bound to the TV as I also recalled reading about a couple of the stories they put on film. That of the Great Serpent Iya that I have recalled him as. It is a great honor to now have a movie as great of many that has been filmed, also of Crazy Horse, Dances With Wolves, and many others that depicts the true nature of Native American Life in the now as well as the past. It is so sad the way the Native Americans were treated then and the life they live now due to the past, it is movies like this that brings a true meaning to the now Native Youth as well as the elders and young adults. Hoka Hey to DreamKeeper, Mitakuye Oyasin (We are all related). With Wanbli Eagle), we soar, to Hehaka (Elk) we love and defend, to Mato (Bear) we stand strong, and to Tatanka (Buffalo) we will strive for our rights of a True American. Native Pride, Heart and sole. Too all, Mitakuye OyasinRobert Runnelk Erickson
Movie Review: Dreamkeeper memphar for past and present Native Storytellers
Summary: 5 Stars
I found the movie on TV a most refreshing story dealing with issues of our culture. It was more than just an HallMark film, but something all people can use to assist youth in dealing witbh issues of life. Most Cultures have story Tellers to teach life's important lessens. I recommend this movies for teachers as an tool to assist students in dealing with life's issues. Never underesitmate the power of stories. This was a beautiful movies, in requards to Native American people. I could not believe my old eyes when I saw it being aired. I rate it 5stars for viewing by all cultures, somewhat intense at times and should be viewed with parents by younger children due to some of the special effects, but not in a bad way, just need to be explained. To help with the movie, it would be wise to read upon Native American Myths and storytelling, you can find some good books on the subject at local library and any good book store.Movie Review: Most Awesome American Indian Film I Have ever seen!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just watched this last night,on loan from my library. Unfortunately,it "froze" almost at the end of the first disc,so of course I had to order it for myself!The stories grandfather tells his grandson on their crosscountry trip to an All Nations powwow are wonderful and the re-enactments with special effects were no less than awesome! I can't wait to see it again without those annoying freezing problems,(one fault I have with DVDs).Whoever said Cds and DVDs are more durable than tapes?At least with cassettes a piece of tape can repair them and a movie on VHS may get drop-outs over time, but at least you can get through the movie,but a scratch on a DVD and it's all over!
Anyway,this is a wonderful,wonderful film about some of the legends from different Indian Nations.So absorbing,you will not want to be disturbed while watching! I also recommend my second favorite American Indian film - "Last Of The Dogmen".
