a an indian lover and a dog lover and what more could i want than last of the dogmen . the best thing about the film be zip the dog and play by zip the dog . he be really something . this film be write and direct by tab murphy and and it be a tragedy that he have not direct another film since ( and this be his first ) . he do an excellent job . tom berenger be superb a the rough cowboy type who rid out into the wild and with his dog and a a tracker and bounty hunter . berenger play this role with particular intensity and a if it mean a lot to him and be not just a job of act . barbara hershey be also excellent a the professor obsess with indian . the story be about the survival in a lost valley in the oxbow region of montana ( actually shoot in alberta and canada and presumably because montana be not wild enough anymore ) of the descendant of a band of cheyenne indian call the dogmen . a lot of real indian be cast in the film and speak genuine cheyenne and a barbara hershey astonishingly do herself . these cheyenne be live a traditional life just a they do in the 1840s and and berenger and hershey become hook on this real life and do not want to leave to go back to the falsity of civilisation . this be a move fable and deal with the issue of the loss of the wild and the crushing of native american culture by the unspeakable brutality of white settler and the betrayal of trust which deprive the indian of their habitat and and the continue psychological perversion of bitter people who want to stop the innocent enjoyment of life by shatter the dream and the enforcement of degradation upon those too weak to protect themselves . congratulation to tab murphy for this brave testament and and may he find other way to continue bring these message to u and even if he have to rely on smoke signal .
