About this movie

Epic 'HBO Films' adaptation of Dee Brown's book about the subjugation and cultural extermination of the Sioux tribe in the 19th century.

Ratings and reviews

A powerful picture Perhaps the best movie yet made That tries to capture in scope And with justice The politics and feelings of the plains wars And what happened out there in the old west There is very little expository action But you almost feel it isn't needed: You know already the country was growing westward This movie for the sake of movies Is a very a good and serious intellectual entertainment But a movie can only do so much And the real story is much more complicated

This movie is good, but unfortunately it's basically based on the last chapter of the book. Adam Beach's character isn't even in the book. It's entirely another story that coincides with the events that happened, but not mentioned in the book itself.

I support anything with Native cultural backgrounds or Documentaries .
