  • This movie was uploaded in 2012 and was 4 parts because my CZcams channel was new. I made this effort because i searched hard in the internet and i didn't find it what pushed me to buy it from ebey and upload it to be free for everyone.

    Thank you so much. The owl visited my mom several weeks ago. We caught her talking to it before the surgery that brought her decline.God rest her soul. She loved the Lakota, although she was a white school teacher - she knew and loved them. I am grateful.

    As a 70's child, I remember growing up in small community and this was similar. I am Alaska Native and the people in this movie remind me of my parents and family in the early 70's.
    For those of you who don't know, this is a small Native Canadian village on the Northwest coast of Canada, probably not too far from Vancouver British Columbia. In the early 70's the Native communities were very small and very dependent on the churches and schools for social interaction. This movie is quite a bit smaller than where I grew up, but I saw villages like this. Sadly, it's taken Canada longer to come around to respecting the Canadian Native Sovereign Nations, just recently they are finally finding back the roots form many many generations.
    The VHS version (only version available) was in pretty poor shape but thankfully OKOK GG did a beautiful job of restoring it and probably better than the original. I am thankful for the chance to watch this in better than the original format.
    God bless you and thank you for posting this movie. You are truly a fine person for doing this.

      I'm 57 . I saw this movie when I was 12 or 13 . I read the book 14 years ago . The book is dynamite . It's about acceptance . It like Sarte , Tragedy is inevitable , it will happen to everyone . It is the essence and mechanism of life.
      I've been to British Columbia . It's beautiful , you learn respect for nature . There are bears and mountain lions that hunt people and aren 't afraid of us at all . It's easy to get lost in the bush . Cheers.

    This story has played an important part in my life. At age 68, this is the third time in my lifetime that I have watched the film and the second time I have read the book. I will be reading that again this week. Somehow it has always remained in my heart and in my thoughts. As the years pass, the significance grows greater. Living in the United States all my life, I have not understood living and dying in the way this story makes it so desirous. As he replied, when Mark asked the Indian his name, "My name is the village," each and every part of the village was the name of all the inhabitants figuratively. What a unified life with others. Something we seem to grow further and further away from. The first time I experienced this was in the 60's. I graduated in 1967, the second time I must have been in my thirties or forties. Thank you for refreshing me through the years so that I can pass with the peace of this unified, connected feeling with the oneness of all of God's creation.

      Very touching movie about humanity. Indian wisdom lives in this movie very powerful and strong.. It has message to us living 2020. I ammwhite man and I had to leave my the village where I was born because new people came there without any respect to our own culture. Tourists came and conquered my village.. I left my village which had been my home almost 50 years. I can't see my home village anymore. I left my home and now I am alone. People from south came and told us how we should live. As Jim described his village I think same way and my memories live in the wind, sky. and fells. They will stay in my mind for ever. Thanks for this movie and regards from Finnish Lapland

      I would respectfully disagree on Sartre. Sartre, as an existentialist, is fatalistic (“No Exit” illustrates this well); pessimistic; with precious little if any hope. This movie, as does the Christian faith, teaches that death is a part of life. It’s not something to be feared. In both First Nation/ Native American thought and In Christianity, it leads to something greater than self. In Christianity, to eternal life in Christ, in First Nation thought one returns to the earth, and is part of the eternal cycle of nature. Both beautiful.

    I found that the movie is quite different from the book. I would love to see the movie made again much closer to the book. They left out a lot. I enjoyed the movie and the actors and the people in it but it was not the same as the

    @ 57.45, Spencer, ' Can your sacraments compete with theirs?'
    Priest, ' They don't have to, Spencer'.
    No, that's right. Roman Catholicism is famous for its synchronistic practices. As a result, it's neither Biblical Christianity, nor is it completely pagan.

    • @NeillMikha

      Brother, this story is fiction and it has nothing to do with religion... the theme of the story is completely different.

    • @hezkyden
      @hezkyden Před 7 lety

      I don't know you and you don't know me so why call me, 'brother?' And I think a strong current of the film is about religion. In the film, the Indians have their own culture and religion which binds them together and the white priest brings his 'white man's' religion in the form of Roman Catholicism and education which is perceived as being destructive of the Native culture. In the end, the priest comes to appreciate their ways and accepts and even adopts ( and therefore syncronizes) some of their beliefs into his own way of thinking. Classic Catholic thinking-and wrong. '' What hath the temple of God to do with idols?''

    • @NeillMikha

      I call you brother in humanity!! You don't have to take it literally. The story is not about religion.. again you need to read the book....

      To Mark: Oh, brother!!!! Can't you just enjoy a nice story? I think you need to read the book to get the full meaning of this movie. But it's much more than you perceive than the oppression of the Catholics on missions.

    • @hezkyden
      @hezkyden Před 7 lety

      You are just repeating what OKOK GG wrote. BTW, it's not a 'nice story', for me. It's full of false ideas about religious belief and truth. Can't you just enjoy your 'nice story', if you think that's what it is, without feeling the need to reply to my comment? No? Well, that's exactly how I feel about this film and why I wanted to express my feeling about it. Why do people get so proprietorial about films or books they happen to like?

    It should not be necessary to read the book before one sees the film on which it is based. I have only done this once and was inevitably disappointed by how much - of necessity - the film left out. A film stands or falls on its own merits.
    Tom Courtney had a remarkable screen presence - vulnerable and fragile almost to the point of nervous breakdown. Had he known this film would have turned out this bad I doubt he would have accepted the role. The land and seascape scenes are by far the best part of the movie and the music soundtrack by far the worst.
    The plot - if that is the word - is nauseatingly sentimental but if that disgusting flutist plays Amazing Grace once more I shall seek him out and ram the flute up his flatulent arse.
    The only conclusion I can draw is that this is an amateur film - the acting is stilted and the childish dialogue is frequently drowned out by extraneous noises. It is very possibly the worst film I have ever seen - worse even than Losey's The Assassination of Trotsky.

      I read the book also but I think this movie did a good job given the time restraints. And don't forget, before it was popular to be "Native" this was one of the early movies to bring to the forefront the struggle and awareness of indigenous people. Good job OKOK GG!

    If you think this movie is good (it's not), please read the book. This is such a poor adaptation of an excellent book.
