I have to say that based on the previews and the descriptions I read of the film before seeing it, the Indians in the film played a greater role than I anticipated. (But this says something about how I'd lowered my expectations in that regard.)<br /><br />In general, I enjoyed the movie, and I found it to be closer to the original plot that I'd expected. I am still processing how I feel about the depiction of the Apaches. I'll be doing a blog entry about my experience at the movie in the not too distant future.alanajolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04987179031266452035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-82559250134932808792011-07-27T09:09:38.686-07:002011-07-27T09:09:38.686-07:00You hit the nail on the head Rob, but this has bee...You hit the nail on the head Rob, but this has been going on for a long time in most films of westerns with native actors with very few exceptions. This is what I tried to bring to light with Hollywoods elite and yes, many of the top brass are of Jewish descent. How do we consider how horrific history has been to Jews, and the tons of film, material and documentarys done, much needed history lessons, but for some reason, the film "Dead Man" with Johnny Depp shares 75% of the film with Gary Farmer and everyone from wikipedia, google, amazon and even the DVD itself only lists Farmer, whom covers alot of script, gets listed repeatedly as, "a mysterious stranger".<br />And it is not only film! The late Jesse Ed Davis, a full blooded Kiowa, has worked on everyone from The Pointer Sisters albums to three of the Beatles solo albums barely gets mentioned, even on The Concert for Bangladesh film.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-63915340468193380022011-07-26T07:41:44.068-07:002011-07-26T07:41:44.068-07:00I'm not going to see it.
