Rating: Summary: Windwalker Review: This movie has been watched by me almost as many times as I have watched Star Wars. It is one of the most beautiful visually stimulating movies I have seen as well as being a fantastic story. It is the first story of Native Americans to treat them with dignity, majesty and respect that I know of. I was surprised that Trevor Howard (a wonderful English actor) was chosen to portray the old Windwalker. However, he spoke the native dialect (I believe Cheyenne)with great dignity and reverence. The story is wonderful! The scenery is not to be beaten. The Native American actors were fantastic and you cannot find a better way to spend your time than sharing this with your whole family.
Rating: Summary: A Story about family and honor, Native American style. Review: This wonderfully done epic is an oasis from the cookie cutter action and drama films of today. It is more of an opportunity to leave our world of modern convenience and see life from Native American eyes than a movie. A strong message of loyalty to family and a mystic journey into the struggle of existence, this story is truly awe inspiring.
Rating: Summary: One of the finest movies I've seen,period. Review: Trevor Howard might have seemed a strange choice for this part but he is amazing.Just a wonderful film,simply told,with a great ending.Keep some kleenex handy.
Rating: Summary: memories revisied Review: what can i say about this movie to do it justice... i was 10 yrs. old when this came out and was able to see this at the theater. it's a wonderful movie, w/ excellent cinematography, and a well written story. the scenery is spectacular too. fans of the recent "crouching tyger..." may like this one as well... not for the story, but due to the fact that this filmed entirely in native american languages. the story itself has no similarity w/ "crouching tyger..." other than that it is brillianly filmed, written and acted. if you want to have an experience, rather than just watching something, buy "the windwalker"... you won't be disappointed... trust me! watching this brings back the memories of a 10 year old movie fan. my one hope is to some day see the release of this on dvd. cheers all!
Rating: Summary: Brilliant Review: What more can I add to all the other reviews?It is a great movie, very authentic, eye for detail. The movie is spoken in Cheyenne and Crow. The only thing I did not understand is why if the old man dreams he dreams in English? I saw this when I was a child and it is still hold the magic. Thanks Amazon.com for selling this again! Ries
