Native American Braveheart movie

    Braveheart was good. No problem with that.

    Schindlers list was amazing. Rightly so a movie should be made about the terrible suffering of the Jews.

    I wonder why Hollywood has never made a big budget movie about Native
    Americans?

    Wouldn't Braveheart have been much more touching and relevant if the subject were Native Americans and not Scots?

    I guess nothing but glory must be associated with those stars and stripes.

    It a shame for the first victims of "freedom and democracy"

    Read up on the "trail of tears."

    It is absolutely disgusting.

    Pocahontas? not big budget I know...

    Anyway, such a movie may portray the Natives as the good guys and the Americans in a negative light. Or arm the the natives with machine guns, which would mess up the idea a tad.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Last of the Mohicans?

    Dances with Wolves?

    Not the biggest Hollywood budget at around $18/19 million but a high profile leading man in Kevin Costner

    That was my first thought too. Another possibility is A Man Called Horse, in which an English aristocrat (Richard Harris) is captured by Sioux, goes native, and eventually wins their respect in battle. He undergoes something I thought was horrendous when I saw it, but which some people now do for kicks: suspension. :eek:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Broken Arrow (The Jimmy Stewart film not the shyte film with Travolta) was a film that won an award for it's portrayal of Native Americans.

    There's has being a lot of films and series about the plight of the "injuns"

    Dances with Wolves

    Smoke Signals

    Lakota Woman - Siege at Wounded Knee

    Windtalkers

    Bambi in Arapaho

    Pocahontas

    Spirit of Crazy Horse

    Soldier Blue

    Big Bear

    Last of the Mohicans

    Cheyenne Autumn

    Dreamkeeper

    Flags of Our Fathers

    Grey Owl

    Heart of an Indian

    But rather famously Marlon Brando rejected his Oscar for his performance in the Godfather to object to the way Hollywood depicted the Indians
