Mark this for a great movie!!!
Added 10/28/2009
I liked this one and anticipated it coming out. I saw reviews of it and it looked fantastic then. But seeing the movie and following the story is great. I would recommend reading about the people, legends, and how this stories / legends came about.
But just great entertainment. The story is relevant today. Seeing how the young and current generations have lost interest / faith in past traditions. New age beliefs and way of life have made life into a world of convenience.

A truly wonderful movie
Added 9/13/2009
Please do not pay any serious attention to the Amazon editorial review above. The writer must have completely missed the filmic journey offered by this movie: its wonderful messages, unique presentation, and rich text and subtext. As a white, middle-class person, I found the film enchanting. Not only do we journey along with the grandson and grandfather, we are brought into a special way of filmmaking that thankfully deviates from standard Hollywood fare. This movie should be seen by all who have journeyed from adolescence to adulthood, as well as those just beginning their journeys. Please do not pass this film by. It is truly a treat. I don't know how this review will show my rating for this movie since the rating link wouldn't work for me, but I would give it the highest rating possible.

Wonderful modern story interwoven with American Nations legends
Added 9/8/2009
DREAMKEEPER is a delightful movie which tells the story of a troubled young man and his grandfather travelling by road from South Dakota to a powwow in New Mexico. Along the way the grandfather tells a number of American Nations' legends. I loved it because it brought many legends to life. And the background story was interesting, too.

fantastic, brillant !

I loved this movie! the stories were so wonderful. i disagree with the person who said it was not made for white people. but, maybe they are right in one way,i am sure the majority of white people did not understand a lot of the movie. the legends, the symbolism, the morals,behind the stories. i am white myself,reddish blonde hair, but have a cherokee grandmother a few relatives back. never met her, but feel i missed out on a lot not knowing her. so these stories mean much to me. to put me a little closer to her. i think some people have a hard time with anything that they can not make sense of in reality-wise. your imagination is very important.

Ok, but not great!
Added 12/22/2008
I hate to say this because I support and love indian films. But, this one was a bit of a disappointment. The acting wasn't very good. Russel Means did the best he could with the script. It was kind of a rip off of Rocky Balboa set in Native American culture.
It's worth watching once, but don't expect A+ quality.

This was an AMAZING movie. I love how Black Cloud struggles and then finally overcomes his problems. All the actors are amazing. I love Eddie Spears and Nathaniel Arcand, they are amazing. Russel Means, Tim McGraw, and Rick have all done a wonderful job. I love everything about this movie. Amazing simply Amazing.
