    Cheif dan george was my great granduncle from my grandmothers side of the family. It is nice to see all the complements. So thank you all for your kind words. Im sure he would have like it. And here is a little fun fact that i learned. It was his brother henry george, my great grandfather that was actually chief and he almost became famous but didn't want to give up on being chief so passed the opportunity on to his brother dan. And thank you for uploading this to youtube

      Welcome Gabe, lovely to hear from you. Perhaps your grand father was more concerned with being on the ground for your people, rather than up on the screen? In my universal spirituality God the Father is transcendent and God the Mother is immanent. I feel for your people.

    This movie is great! I read the book too. It kind of reminds me of Forrest Gump a little bit the way that Jack Crabb just travels through the west and runs into all these historic celebrities and adventures. But every scene that Chief Dan was in he stole. He was the real lovable grandfather that just couldn't understand why everything around him was changing so fast but still had an optimistic attitude. The kids today would call him a boomer. Great character. The scene when he gave up on dying because it started raining on him is profound. Everyone wants an easy, honorable, and comfortable death and yet the rain chased him inside. That always makes me laugh. Here is a guy who fought many battles and a little rain put him off. As a military veteran I can tell you getting rained on will change your attitude in a second. I like how Jack always entertained his grandfather ideas, visions, and feelings. That's love and respect.
    My friends and I, after a long time apart, always say to each other when we get together "seeing you again makes my heart soar like a hawk. Let's smoke."
    One of my favorite movies. Thank God they haven't tried to reboot it. I think even back then it got the message across.

But following that merciless aqusition, the hunger for conquest just continued on a larger scale. I am 67 years old, and for my entire life, America has always been at war somewhere on the planet.

    My family once met Chief Dan George in Terrace, BC during the 70s. My grandfather was a carpenter, so I think it must have had something to do with that. By all accounts, a very nice and wise man.

    One of the great scene-stealing character actors ever. Dustin Hoffman called him "grandfather" until the day he died.

    This is a great movie. Because it has cowboys and Indians, it shares some truth, and it offers some wonderful philosophy.

      What's really great, given when it was made, is that it probably attracted an audience who came for the cowboys & Indians,... and ended up getting a wonderful life lesson in the bargain.

      One thing they don't tell you bout real life. It wasn't "Cowboys and Indians" it was Indians and Calvary.

      ...lousiest fake Hollywood happy ending ever. This whole wild tale turns out to be about the decline & fall of the Native Americans' way of life. The chief represented this arc, from the early migration of white settlers when he ruled his tribe, to the eventual end of his culture as he has become old & frail. It took me forever (and many TV viewings of this movie) to finally get that, and when I did, this ending became enraging.

    My favorite movie of all time Dustin Hoffman was so unbelievable in this film showed what a great actor he really is played almost five parts for the same man and it showed how American Indians in the first Western are human beings and their culture it's my favorite movie I have Dustin Hoffman's autograph on the picture where he's a drunk before Buffalo Bill Cody asks him to do the favor

    Read the book first and it is twice s good as the film. But I understand a movie has to compress things into 2 hours or so. Having said that it's a first rate movie, absolutely loved it - but if you have the time read the book!

    • @motoman2WH3
      @motoman2WH3 6 лет назад +1

      Man, I'd love to esp since the book didn't tack on the obligatory Hollywood "happy ending" ("Sometimes the magic works....") The chief's death is necessary to the story as it represents the "death" of their culture & way of life. Which, it turns out, is what the whole story was about after all....

    • @ravenhull

      motoman2WH3, the director says he wanted to leave it open ended, and that not only were they dying, but that they were forced to live through it. Gotta get the book one day.
