Movie Reviews of Dreamkeeper
Movie Review: Awesome movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is an excellent example of native american legends as told by the storyteller. The troubled teenager is guided by the legends of old told by grandfather...transforming him with wisdom by the end of the movie. If you are looking for hollywood special effects or a complex plot of drama, look elsewhere. This movie best serves those who realize returning to basics from days of the past is the only sure way to face the complex problems of the modern day.
The only complaint I have is it was all english, except for a few words. Come on..you can't throw in some native language..Cheyenne, Apache, Sioux..something?? I guess you can't have it all. Check out the Windwalker also, a movie of the Cheyenne man searching for his lost son, stolen by the Crow..I'ts all in Cheyenne..ne Chisste:)
Enjoy
Movie Review: Wonderfull and Educational
Summary: 5 Stars
First time I seen it it re awoke my native heritage which I had gotten away from some trying to mainstream and be accepted. I now know that I was off, and am glad someone made a movie to let me know I was on the wrong red road.
It's ahame when someone like the amazon reviewer seems to slam something he/she obviously did not understand. and should try opening their typical american mind to the fact there are other cultures who do things differantly not everyone is a white american. the world is made of more then that! It's a sad statment they make on something that has alot of meaning for alot of people. regaurdless of their colour ect.
FYI I am 14 writting this review, and I know were my life was going, so this was a help to me.
Thanks hallmark for a wonderful movie!
Movie Review: A truly wonderful movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Please do not pay any serious attention to the Amazon editorial review above. The writer must have completely missed the filmic journey offered by this movie: its wonderful messages, unique presentation, and rich text and subtext. As a white, middle-class person, I found the film enchanting. Not only do we journey along with the grandson and grandfather, we are brought into a special way of filmmaking that thankfully deviates from standard Hollywood fare. This movie should be seen by all who have journeyed from adolescence to adulthood, as well as those just beginning their journeys. Please do not pass this film by. It is truly a treat. I don't know how this review will show my rating for this movie since the rating link wouldn't work for me, but I would give it the highest rating possible.Movie Review: True insight, reality AND feelgood
Summary: 5 Stars
Although I was unsure that I! would like it, I got my son and daughter (serious critics) to watch this marvelous story with me. My daughter, the writer and cynic, said that it was one of the best movies that she had seen, writing, cinamatography, the whole thing! I AGREE wholeheartedly.
There is no prettying up the reality of life on the rez, of the disaffection, rejection of tradition of the younger generation. It really gets across that we never know the whole story and that forgiveness is self-liberating. The final scene gives such HOPE that ethnogenocide is not a fait-accompli: there are still elders who can pass the wisdom, the language and the traditions of all the First Nations spread across Turtle Island and STILL suffering under continued attempts to make them vanish.
Movie Review: So moving!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a remarkable film/study of the great lore and legends of the Native American Nations.
The special effects were magical! As a white person, I feel privileged to have been allowed to peek through the veil which has protected the privacy of the Lakota People' s legends. It was as if I had been personally invited to learn about the "Mysteries".
It was moving to watch the relationship between Grand'Pa and Shane take on a new dimension, which ultimately put Shane back on the "Red Road". The Native American family has something very special: a long, long history to draw upon.
Loved the film as well the added bonus of having the Sound Track CD, which I play over and over.
A "must see" and a "keeper"....Well done!
