Summary: Beautifully Filmed Masterpiece
Review: "Windwalker" is without a doubt one of the most wonderfully filmed movie in film history..The Nature scenery is Magical and breathtaking..And being on dvd it more then heightens the exsperiance..Not to take anything away from another great movie "Dances with Wolves" but Windwalker makes Dances with Wolves look amateur like..Windwalker is also along the same kind of line as Dances with Wolves..But Windwalker is entirely filmed with the words spoken in the various American Indians languages..With English Subtitles..Don't worry to follow the Subtitles is very easy for there isn't much spoken word in this movie..So you should have no problems with the subtitles..When this movie came out my girlfriend at the time TarynAngel is Indian (note her family doesn't like the term of politcal correctness of "Native Americans" her and her family say we been Indians for years now all of suddon we are told there is something wrong with the word Indian)..Taryn & I have remained good friends all these years..Her and my Mandy also became best of friends..I hope that amazon.com doesn't mind me asking the reader to pray for the safe return of Taryn (along with 2 other good friends of ours) who are currently in IraQ helping with the animalife crisis..Ok back to the movie WINDWALKER..So i seen this movie with an Indian girl closer then close to my side in the theater..That added to the Magic of this movie..Neither one of us never forgot the overwealming exsperiance of this movie..It is a marvelous America Indian story through the generations..On his Deathbed a Cheyane Warrior named "Windwalker" tells his grandchildren his story..He tells of his life as a young brave..His falling in love and marriage to a very beautiful Indian girl..To them are born twin sons..One is killed along with his Indian Bride..The other twin son is abducted..It is after the death of Windwalker the Great Spirit awakens him to avenge the deaths of his 1 twin son and his Indian Bride..Will he succeed in this mission..Will he find his missing twin son?? Will his Spirit be reunited with his Indian Bride?? Watch this movie and find out..The action is exciting..The plot will hold your interest..This is a adventure story that is truly a CLASSIC a movie that should be more known then what it is..This is a movie that will hold your memory long after you have seen it..It is one of the rare movies that is impossible for the viewer to ever forget..The ending scene all i will say that it takes place on the "other side" is very moving and very touching..We can only be hopeful that we will all be that lucky as Windwalker at the journey's end..It is by far one of the most powerful ending that i/we ever seen..And the way it is filmed is very mystical and very beautiful..When this came out on DVD i had to get it right away..The picture quality is more then fantastic..It would have to be real bad picture to ruin such a film's prescense..But this dvd stays true to the Natural Beauty of the Original Vision..But i was very disappointed with the extras on this dvd..The extras here aren't worth your time and are are an insult being on the same dvd as this great film..Most of the extras don't even have anything to do with the movie at all..The only extras that have anything to do with the movie is the trailors for the film and they are in very poor shape..At least on my dvd i must note that my dvd doesn't say "special edition" like the one pictured here.My dvd says in that spot "family classics" but the picture is the same as one here..A beautiful movie such as this they could have picked a better picture for the case.And no booklet.
But don't let that stop you this is a movie that can't be missed.
I shall end this by saying if you are interested in American Indian Heritage..And if you are a film lover at all you can't afford to miss this Masterpiece..If you are thinking of what film to buy next on dvd make it this one..You won't be disappointed..And you will never forget this film that is truly one of the best made and greatest films to ever grace its prescense upon us..Touches the soul..And can't forget to say that the Indian Girl/Bride of Windwalker is without a doubt one of the most beautiful dark eyed beauty you will ever lay your eyes upon..This movie "Windwalker" is in every sense of the word a CLASSIC both Indian movie Adventure Fantasy Love Story all genres rolled into 1 marvelous magical mystical film Truly a Brightest Blessing to any film fan..

Summary: Beautiful and thoughtful
Review: A visually exquisite film with an interesting story, excellent performances, lush soundtrack and an authentic look which make for a very enjoyable and satisfying viewing experience. However, since it was filmed in Panavision, I do wish it was offered in a widescreen edition, which would be even better.

Summary: A Heart Warmer
Review: An old Native American near death recounts his past to his grandchildren. His story covers love, sorrow and revenge. The unfinished story jumps to the present with action and a surprize ending. The very last scene leaves a visual you'll never forget.

Summary: Windwalker
Review: As others before I had seen this movie when it had come out, at least on VHS. I was quite moved by the story, filming, and history lesson. As a caucasian american who was not taught about (non-caucasian) history .....it was wonderful to learn about the history, traditions, and religious beliefs of at least some of the American Indians. (The caucasian part is only written for people who take offense to (WHATEVER), (I don't even know if I have spelled caucasian right), and I know there are so many other histories to learn about. I am so happy to learn about other cultures history that is taught in school. Windwalker is in my opinion a great film to show children to teach them about others history, religious beliefs, and culture. I have not seen this movie in about twenty years and have not yet forgotten to try to find it from time to time, thank God for the internet and Amazon. I am looking forward to when I can buy it on DVD. It is out now, but I am out-of Moolau. Please take my advice - even after twenty years - I HAVE NEVER FORGOTTEN ABOUT WINDWALKER.

Summary: Wonderful Movie, VHS TECHNICALLY SUBSTANDARD
Review: Below a copy of my message to Amazon.com re the technical quality of this VHS tape. WINDWALKER is a WONDERFUL movie, but the totally substandard VHS tape sent me is absurd. Based on the jacket, Pacific International Enterprises, Inc., and Sterling Entertainment are involved in the production of the absurdly substandard VHS tape I received. Indeed, as pointed out below, the 'thickness' of the totally rewound tape as one looked at the reel was about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick...I was thinking "that's odd..maybe this is a new technology"; as soon as I attempted to play the movie I found out why...the sound was distorted greatly and the picture blurry like I was looking thru the end of a coke bottle as a lense. TOTALLY SUBSTANDARD for Amazon.com, and most surprised they would carry such BELOW STANDARD merchandise. THIS is my first bad experience with Amazon after years and thousands of dollars of purchases. I am still scratching my head as to how this could happen. Robert A. Fesmire, California.
MESSAGE TO AMAZON.COM COPIED IN BELOW:
I think if you examine my purchase records you will conclude you do not want to lose me as an Amazon.com customer.
YOU WILL (regretfully) however unless you immediately tend my concerns in reference to the above order number.
Specifically, the WINDWALKER VHS tape is a JOKE !!!! Distributed by "Pacific International Enterprises, Inc", it is of such poor quality technically (the VHS tape itself fully rewound is about 3/4 inch thick) THAT I COULD NOT WATCH it...it was FAR BELOW the standard that I have come to expect from Amazon.com, as you would see if you attempted to play it yourself. A profound disappointment as I attempted to watch a favorite old movie with anticipation and found that this far substandard trash of a VHS tape was so poor in quality I could not watch it.
Recently you will see I purchased not only numerous books, etc., but also a DSC-P93 Sony camera, accessories, etc....I buy a lot from Amazon.
I WILL BUY NOTHING MORE UNTIL YOU MAKE THIS RIGHT. FURTHER, NEVER send me such poor quality merchandise again if you want my business.
ADVISE ME with specific instructions. I also should NOT have to pay the postage returning this joke of a VHS tape to you.
SINCERELY, Robert A. Fesmire, Attorney and very good Amazon customer.

Summary: An Obscure Masterpiece
Review: I am a Native American movie buff and have seen every Native American movie made. Most are heavily stereotyped, some are average and a few have moved me. However, "Windwalker" is in my opinion the greatest. My parents made me watch it when I was just a child and ever since then I have been looking everywhere to find my own copy, but now that I have found it I am going to buy one for myself, one for my parents and one for my closest friend. Thank you Amazon.com!
