Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee (2007)

The cast makes up for the storytelling

I admit to being a bit disappointed in the way the story is told but the cast is amazing and well worth watching. I also admit that I am a big fan of Adam Beach but all the actors are wonderful both native and non native.
The important issue is that the story is being told and maybe more people will begin to understand why the U.S. owes Native Americans much more than they have given up until now. Maybe our new president, after he tackles the world issues, will actually consider the plight of the Native American and the despicable conditions on some of the reservations. He is the only major politician to mention Native Americans in his speeches. I hope he remembers them now that he is in office. November 19, 2008

Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee

Adam Beach does and Oscar winning job in his role of Charles Eastman. The film is shown true to the historical facts and is told form the eyes of the Native Americans, no white wash here as the US government would have like it to have been. A MUST SEE movie for all Americans be they white, black , red or yellow! November 10, 2008

Who is the enemy??

Looking at Bury my heart at Wounded knee just make us think that it is often impossible to define who is the enemy? General Custer did right in defending the americans farmers newly arrived in the west !! But the indians were defending ther own land (they were there for 10000 years!!!). For americans, iran is evil and for iranians USA is the great evil??? Who is right??? You can continue the list if you want. Good luck, it will take you 10000 pages of text in small caracter...

Tarnished American History

I have read a great deal about the shabby treatment of American Indians by the US government and found this movie to be consistent with most of the well researched books on the shelves. Inaccurate presentation of facts is never good, but whatever they might be here, they did not detract from the overall power of the film to tell the truth. Aidan Quinn did a good job of expressing the tremendous conflict Dr. Eastman experienced as well as his inability to completely work through the anger he felt at having to give up the foundation of who he was. A worthwhile movie that demands a thoughtful response. July 27, 2008
