i saw a special 2 hour version of dreamkeeper at a screening at ucla film school ( there another 45 minute that will be in the televised version and i think it be show for two night and end of december . ) this be an incredible piece of filmmaking and storytelling and good and more authentic in many way that dance with wolf ( dance be hyper hokie in many place . ) the last film about native american that be this good be the canadian production black robe . dreamkeeper be brilliantly direct and write and act and execute . i be pretty jaded watch film and but yes and i laugh and cry ( okay and tear do not actually fall and but moisten my eye be . ) the visuals be stagger . buffalo stampede and fight and dream sequence all believable . what really cool be that the intertwining of the story work so well and a current story of a grandpa tell his bored grandson indian legends that become real flashback . superbly write and shoot and the director ( steve barron and an award win video director ) pull all element together and let the legend tell themselves ( okay and i be really bias against video director make feature and all show and no tell . dreamkeeper and however and be show and tell do well and ain not that swell . ) the two lead actor and eddie spear and august schellenberg do not appear to be act and they inhabit their contemporary roll . each legend have it own feel and rhythm and and be beatifully direct and edit . and it all politically correct to boot ( apparently each legend have consultant and adviser from the specific tribe . ) hat off to hallmark entertainment for take the great risk to make this staggeringly good production . it should be release a a feature and because it play incredibly well on the big screen at ucla . dreamkeeper be a good and more important film than anything in the theater today . grab a beer and fry some bread and and sit down at your own home and watch this wonderful miniseries .
