Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Arthur P Dreamkeeper shocked me with wonder when I saw it on regular ABC TV a few years ago... many moons ago... how time has flown. I caught only a part of it. I just finally requested it at local video / DVD shop and they have it. I viewed it entirely tonight on DVD. I am so thrilled with Dreamkeeper that I shared in with a project that I am member of --- The Mankind Project New Mexico. I love Native American culture and philosophy. DREAMKEEPER has really done the job of giving the Native American USA message. Dreamkeeper is extremely different and powerful. I may buy copies to give as gifts. How wonderful that Red brothers and sisters have shared this vision with us. How great that an international group of artists have given me this wonderful gift of joy and power.I love that Native Americans have commented on the film and were depicted in such a wonderful manner.
sabrinazep DreamKeeper is one of the movies that will accompany you forever. It contains today and yesterday and helps the understanding of the true history of the American Indian. The situation of many Indians today living in reservations and being in a cycle of vandalism, alcohol and drug problems does not go unmentioned. But there is hope for many because the roots of them and the old stories are still there. So you melt into wonderful pictures and stories given from the grandfather to his grandson being on their way to a meeting of all nations. The intertwining of the genres(road movie, drama, tales) is very well made and John Fusco did another great job with the creation of the script. The actors have been well chosen and you feel that they are not just acting in a movie they are truly concerned and giving you their story. Behind all is a message not only for the Indians to again respect more their ancestry and live it but to the 'white people' as well. The commitment of all the people who made this movie possible is very much appreciated.
linssen1964 every time i see the movie..tears come into my eyes..... goosebumps allover.... I really respect the native, i wish i was one of them. respect human and animals....I must write 10 line at least, but i think my comment is enough right now! ! ! ! ! !;) :) make more of these movies! show ignorant people how to live right show them to have respect for the older show them to have respect for all the animals, big and small show them to have respect for nature!!!!!!!!!!!! when do we finally realize , the world is dying??!! help others to survive this terrible world..it can be so beautiful!
b9AcE I always regarded Hallmark as "the TV channel that I can skip over". That is until I saw this movie. I was lucky enough to flip past it just at the begining while I was waiting for my friend to get ready for a party we were supposed to go to. We didn't go. We watched this instead.After having seen as many movies as I (who hardly does anything else) this was a very welcome break from the monotony of the standard portrayal of the native americans. I am not a native american (or even american, I'm european) but still it was very nice to get to see "the other side of the story". Next to the story I need to applaud the many outstanding performances by the actors and actresses, of which regretably none so far is well known. Also to be noted is some exceptional cinematography combined with great special effects (for a TV movie).Great story, which has something to say. Great acting/directing. Great cinematic craftsmanship. What else could be asked from a movie?Had it been produced by a movie theater production company it would have become a huge hit, but unfortunately it will now probably be lost among the TV movie onslaught.If you have a chance to see this: take it.
