Movie Reviews of Skins
Movie Review: Custer's Last Scene
Summary: 4 Stars
I was shocked by the no holds barred reality of this little movie that could. It didn't hold anything back (meaning P.C.) that the Indians are only to blame themselves for their lot in life.
I just came back from a trip to Wyoming and Montana, saw the Battlefield at Little Bighorn and yes, I saw the descendents of warriors who outsmarted the Custer Cavalry, living in squalor reservations which you could always tell by the trash, dead cars, trashed houses and mobiles. Sad that brave warriors like that ended up like this: drinking away their short lives in a stupor.
I bought the book which was so well written it should have been a national best-seller. It's a book so deep on the nature of human nature that it's suitable for all races. I wish Mr. Louis would write at least ONE book like this a year!
Since the rest of you have explained the movie I'd like to make a comment on the actor who played the clerk in the hardware store where Rudy buys the red paint. He looked just so very familiar so I got out my Montana tourist guide. Damned if that actor doesn't look JUST like General Custer!!! Get the irony? Custer is selling the Lakota the means to deface a monument to the American Chiefs who were etched into sacred, stolen Indian land!! Nice touch!
Summary of Skins
Studio: First Look Home Entertain Release Date: 05/25/2004 Run time: 87 minutes Rating: RA dark and moving tale of bitter helplessness turned to vigilante rage, Skins is the second feature film directed by Chris Eyre (Smoke Signals). As with the previous movie, Skins concerns two very different and determined protagonists who have grown up together: a cop, Rudy Yellow Lodge (Eric Schweig), on the Lakota reservation's police force, and his older brother Mogie (Graham Greene), an unrepentant drunk. Frustrated by Mogie's self-destruction and outraged by rampant alcoholism throughout the rez (with the disease's concomitant social violence and general hell-raising at an all-time high), Rudy resorts to off-duty, anonymous jungle justice--beating suspects and torching a Nebraska border-town liquor store--with tragic consequences. Eyre's unflinching eye for reservation horrors and the exploitation of Indians is compelling; his compassion for characters grasping at hope is equally strong. Skins benefits mightily from Schweig and Greene's strong performances; in all, this is an underrated drama waiting for a real audience. --Tom Keogh
