Movie Reviews of Dreamkeeper
Movie Review: Magical
Summary: 5 Stars
Ever since I was a young girl I have always had a deep love and respect for the native american culture. This movie has defined the heart of the native american people and has proven again why I do have this fondness for this culture. Not only did this movie show the beauty of the culture of the natives americans but it motivates you to go out to find more about your culture. Who you are is the foundation of your character and the major part of who you are is your culture. Your culture gives you a sense of who you are and what you believe in, but in today's world we all have lost sight of that. This movie is a great example of showing the reality of this struggle so hopefully many will view the film and find a glimpse of their true selves through it.Movie Review: One white person who learned a lot...
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this movie and my love for the Native American culture grew and I felt like I learned a lot, not just about being Native, but being a human being. What I have learned from studying Native American culture is that there is much for all of us to learn from their stories and the spirits. The way I handle life has changed since my study of the culture and although my skin is white, my spirit has been touched by stories from the elders and movies like Dreamkeeper. This made it difficult to read reviews for this movie that said how white people cannot possibly understand it, that it was not made for whites to see. Exclusion like that encourages cultural division and that's too bad. I REALLY liked the movie and would recommend it to any race.Movie Review: Wonderful movie
Summary: 5 Stars
After watching Chris Eyre's "Smoke Signals" and "Skins", "Dreamkeeper" was certainly different - but what a treat (especially Michael Greyeyes as the Thunder Spirit - LOL)!
I wish there were more movies out there that show that there is no such thing as "American Indian culture". American Indians have always been a diverse group of people with very different languages and traditions, scattered across a vast continent with very different habitats.
Although, naturally, "Dreamkeeper" can only scratch the surface of the many different Native American cultures, it manages to convey the message that these different cultures exist and that everybody can learn from other peoples' myths and stories - if they are willing to listen.
Movie Review: This movie really surprised me .......
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to admit this movie really surprised me when i first put the DVD in and saw the low production quality of the actors at first I thought to myself "another corny movie". To my surprise as the movie went on the better it got, the stories are of excellent quality and meaning. I myself have Cherokee in my blood from my Great Grandmother and Grandfather. I want to learn more about Native Americans and their heritage because I am proud to have the blood. This movie tought very important unselfish lessons that all of us could learn from. Alot of kids today forget about the history the morals and values that their ancestors lived before them. I think we all could learn about ourselves from this movie. It is a movie worth watching. - PeaceMovie Review: boo,amazon reviewer--comment/add-on to March 3rd reviewer
Summary: 5 Stars
I also object to the amazon reviewer's comments. Obviously that person didn't understand a thing about the old stories. I feel like the "want a be" young man in the movie. I have Native American background, but have been raised in a white world. I know the old stories and found this movie very heartfelt. My daughters have also been taught the old stories and when the turtle came up out of the sea at the end, we started sobbing. What a beautiful ending!! I too think that if you didn't have some Native American understanding you would miss alot of what this movie has to offer. However, my husband is not Native American and he did find the movie very interesting and enjoyed it. Beautiful, beautiful, moving movie!!
