InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
pimy95 Excellent western from 1980. Great acting, and dialogue. Cinematography to anyone who has been out in the American west, is a visual treat from beginning to end. Not a gritty, "docudrama", as some here would like, but a heart tugging, spiritual journey and love story that ends similarly to another 1980 fantasy, "Somewhere in Time".Yes, this film is a throwback to another, kinder time in films when children as well as adults could watch something that brings tears to everyone's eyes at the end...score and all.I pay a large amount of money for DIRECTV's premium package. The vast majority of it, is directed at people like the guy, and his girlfriend whom hated this film, in these comments..to me, garbage. I consider this a gift to be have been able to watch on Starz Encore Western. A hidden gem, amid allot of trash.
merklekranz "Windwalker" will hold interest, but you have to pay close attention to the rapidly changing subtitles. This is sometimes difficult and leaves only a couple seconds to marvel at the fine cinematography. Also, I found the almost constant time changes to be somewhat of an annoyance. The "Native American" costumes, rituals, and language gives the film an authentic feel. Sorry I cannot say the same for the cave scenes, as they looked totally fake. Trevor Howard does a good job, and Billy Drago gets to play yet another deranged role, this time as a sexual predator "Indian". Though slow at times, and a bit confusing, authenticity overcomes the few faults. - MERK
BigLaxFan94 I remember seeing this one when it first came out in 1980. I have to say that it was way too slow, there was hardly any action and life for it to be considered a good film. As a matter of fact, I don't know how this one even made it to the big screen! The film's portrayal of the Crow and Cheyenne Nations were respectable enough. But I'm afraid that's the only highlight of it. Most people who saw this one may think it was like any other typical Hollywoodish film where Indians are seen as the bad guys ... (today is a different matter altogether since Native people are seen much differently than they were back then.) But.... anyways...... I love ANY film dealing with Native people, but not the ones that depict them with the negative stereotypes! Fortunately I never saw a lot of those bad stereotypes. I just thought the story probably wasn't very well planned. Other than that, it was OK but not the kind that would earn any Oscars or anything along those lines.That's why I gave this one a 6.
Lamia7609 This movie is so incredible. I was instantly swept up by it. I was mesmorized, enchanted, bedazzled, bewitched. I love this movie so much and I haven't seen it for 10 years. I am almost afraid to watch again in case I can't feel the magic. Every once in a while you need to have something like this to hold on to. I was so manipulated by this film. Sometimes you prefer a movie that takes your imagination away from you and says, now look at the world like this. If you can get yours hand on it please do. If you loved "Black Robe" you will love this film.
