i be deeply in love with this film and and each time i watch it i love it even more . i truly look forward to see more from it writer or director and randy redroad . i fear that and live outside of america and however and i may have trouble find his work . but i hope this will not be the case . from begin to end and the doe boy exude a powerful and yet non sensationalistic and understated spirituality that many film would do well to emulate . the story concern hunter and a mixed blood cherokee or white young man with haemophilia ( a white man disease ) and and his struggle for identity and for a sense of power over his life . throughout the film he struggle with a difficult relationship with his father and make bad by hunter inability to play sport and to help his father work on his car and or to and a his name suggest and hunt ( which be also a favourite pastime of his father ) . along the way his grandfather and a full blood cherokee and gently assist him by tell him tale of their history and explain his own way of view the world . hunter father manage to persuade hunter overprotective mother to allow him to take hunter deer hunting and hunter and thinking he see a buck and instead commit the social faux pa of kill a female deer and earn him the nickname of doe boy . give away far detail may lessen the experience of the first viewing and so i will not describe the other major plot development that take place in this film and except to say that hunter be leave even more alone and powerless in this world and and call upon the strength and wisdom of his grandfather to guide him to find the inner strength and courage and self reliance to take the hand life have deal him and and to become a true warrior and cherokee brave . i be still unclear a to the implication of the end and however that do not make me love this film any less while perhaps the film maker intend to leave the end somewhat open and give the nature of the event and circumstance that precede it . without a doubt and this film a beautiful and deep and soulful a the warpainted eye of james duval a the cherokee brave of some of the final scene of the film be a must see for any fan of james duval or of modern and native american theme cinema . a a fan of both and i would like to thank both mr redroad and all the people who participate in the making of this film and for make available something so beautiful and touching and for the world to experience . i believe that james duval may well be remember for the role of hunter kirk for the rest of his career . this be a truly beautiful film and which i would very and very highly recommend .
