I've heard it was a very emotional movie. I haven't seen it yet. I saw it just came out on DVD.

[Tiki]

very emotional movie, yes. I cried and my husband became very emotional as well.

[Kamama]

I thought it was very well done, lots of it was hard to watch. I was in tears almost the whole movie.

Now if Adam Beach was nominated or if August Schellenberg won then I'd be impressed. This is still another example of profiting off the backs of our people.

Another Dances with Wolves/Windtalkers to dazzle the non-ndn population with our tragic tales of mistreatment and heroism - but with a white person as the central figure.

LMAO! All the feel good posting and then this!!!! I think everyone was stunned and couldn't post again.

LOL @ Kmom...... Well correct me if I am wrong, wasn't this written by a native?? And, there are alot of true Natives in this movie, which says more than having Richard Burton indian types. We have come a long way in the movie business. Personally I would want all Native personnel directing, producing, etc my books. But if Steven Speilberg or someone of that sort, Jerry Bruckenheimer, came along to offer to make a movie off a book I wrote.....shoot, I would not object to that. I think the writer of this book also had some say so in the production. Yeah it would have been nice to see Adam get a Emmy or something, his acting was really heartfelt in this movie. But hey, one day, one day...... Until then, he'll just be a poster on my ceiling.....ayeeee. Kidding.

Well I didn't mean to shoot the whole thing down - catching me on a rough day!

I am pleased to see an acknowledgement of this movie/story - it is important - I would have preferred that one of our own be the one to accept it.

Better?

[kiyaanii mom]

Better?

Yup! But I see your crude point.

[ntownn8ive]

why is it that every movie Adam and Eddie are in, they end up cryin', all sensitive and what not? Ayee!

I don't think it was written by a native..if it were they wouldn't have (hopefully) allowed all of those stereotypes in the movie..and I still don't like the scene where sitting bull was portrayed as hitting those young men...so in that way I was glad that august whatever didn't win anything..there were a lot young impressionable minds there and we have a white(wasicu) claiming to be part native playing the part..yeah yeah whatever...and yeah adam beach, or eddie spears or nathan shouldve got nominated for that scene where he is trying to go hunting in that corral...I don't think..I could ever watch this movie again..I personally didn't care if it won any emmy's at all..if our native actors/actress' weren't recognized for their talent..just goes to show you that even hollywood has its uppity standards...

Did Sitting Bull really say "balls"?
