Movie Reviews of Pow Wow HighwayMovie Review: The Native American equivalent of Laurel and Hardy. Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the funniest movies I have seen. It's very off beat, but if you approach it with an open mind you are in for an enjoyable experience. Gary Farmer does an outstanding job in this movie, and gives a performance that makes you laugh and cry (sometimes at the same time). A Martinez plays his role with perfection and shows the frustration we all feel at times. I know that this has been said of many acting duos, but A Martinez and Gary Farmer are the Native American equivalent of Laurel and Hardy.
Movie Review: Pow Wow Highway Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. It is a classic hero's tale cast in the setting of life on the res for today's Native American. Although it was made a few years back, it stands the test of time. The performances feel true; the story of what it takes to climb out of circumstances to follow a dream compelling, and the way in which lessons are learned by the pragmatist from the dreamer are reminiscent of some of literature's most famous sagas.
Movie Review: They don't all own Casinos Summary: 5 Stars
A true and touching story of the real experience of the native americans.
This movie will make you laugh, get annoyed, maybe angry in spots (it SHOULD) and maybe tear up a bit in places but the spiritual message and "happy" completion of the movie makes for an excellent film.
It's no "WIND WALKER"--but nothing will ever touch THAT movie for sheer greatness---but Pow Wow Highway is rather an essential watch, just for your spirit.
Movie Review: A Shaman in born Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent video that leads the audience to empathy and birth. It presented the process of passing a heritage -- stories, legends, myths, and culture -- onto the next generation. When a Native American follows the Red Road, he knows that he must put the next and next and next generation onto the same road. This is what happens in this excellently presented visual media presentation!
Movie Review: The exit ramp from our preachy culture Summary: 5 Stars
Spin it anyway you want, the beauty of this movie is its very escape from these crushing "Life Lesson" films we have to endure nowadays. Red, White, Black, Yellow or whatever, Powwow Hiway is a chance to skip Life-Lesson class and climb in the back seat of Philbert's No-Heater Beater for an interstate tour of life when it used to be rebellious and fun.
