That alone tells us he's not going to look like a (stereo)typical Indian. I'd say Duval is well within the range of people who could play someone who's half Indian.<BR/><BR/>So you have a point, Pensmoke. Audiences may have rejected Duval as Hunter because he didn't look or act "Indian" enough. That would be their mistake, not his.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-77989530138640411172007-10-28T18:22:00.000-07:002007-10-28T18:22:00.000-07:00It's funny to me how the reviews of the movie I ha...It's funny to me how the reviews of the movie I have read on different sites always down the choice of Duval as a Cherokee and talk about how he looks like a "white guy with a bad Cher wig" or whatever. The reviews are obviously written by non-Indians who have the stereotypical view of what they think Indians should look like in their mind. This may be okay when pertaining to other tribes but not the Cherokee, especially those in OK. There are mixed-bloods there who actually look LESS Indian than James Duval. And isn't he 1/4th Native? There are many in OK (enrolled in C.N.O.) that have a blood quantum of much less. It seems to me like a bunch of ignorant movie critics are trying to impose what they think a "real Ijnun" should look like on this movie's lead actor.Since he doesnt fit their stereotype they see that as a reason to give this movie a bad rating.<BR/><BR/>p.s.<BR/><BR/>I am speaking of reviews I read on a number of OTHER sites and not Rob's review.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-8362077098525348732007-10-17T19:05:00.000-07:002007-10-17T19:05:00.000-07:00No, Russ...it's Homer Simpson.
