Thunderheart 4K 1992

When I went to vote for the film, I was surprised by the small number of votes and the fact that the film was released in 1992. And I only watched it now!

I don't want to write about the film's production, just as I consider retelling the plot to be completely unnecessary in film reviews. I will note that both are excellent. And, of course, the lead actors, Val Kilmer and Graham Greene, managed to convey not only the characters' personalities through their acting, but also their personal attitudes toward the issue of white Americans' treatment of Native Americans.

So, the film is striking in its unconventionality and its focus on social issues from the very beginning: “Look, it's as if we've ended up in a third world country, and this is only a couple of hundred miles from Vegas.” But the filmmakers did not remain at the “heights” of generalizations, but moved on to specifics. This is the image portrayed by Sam Shepard's character, an ordinary wheeler-dealer who views Native Americans as dim-witted half-children from whom he can squeeze as much as possible.
So, even from this little bit I've written, it immediately becomes clear that this film is unusual for Hollywood.

AND MORE. While watching, I had a strange feeling that I had either seen or read something similar before. But where? Only after some time did I realize that it was Castaneda with his Don Juan. "Look closely at things. Look and try to understand what you see, and objects and phenomena will reveal themselves to you from another perspective.' Graham Greene plays the role of Don Juan in the film.
