Review of Windwalker

Windwalker (1980)
8/10
All I can say is, "Wow"
27 August 2015
What initially peaked my curiosity was both Nick Ramus and James Remar in the heading. Ramus was awesome and memorable as Chief Black Kettle in the series 'Dr. Quinn; Medicine Woman'. And I've always loved James Remar; fantastic actor, and incredible 'Warrior'. He's equally incredible here, as Windwalker Young Man.

At first I wasn't sure what to think of this gem; it had been literally ages since I've sat down to watch anything with Native American, and forever since I've seen The Call of the Wild or Jack London. Both were lost screen gems. But for any fan who grew up on the likes of Grizzly Adams, Jack London, or Dances With Wolves, this film is a beauty.

I duly recall the days of my youth when Disney or like, were credible for producing films like this. Kids and parents used to fill the cinemas on the weekends, just to see Native Americans on the big screen. Those days have been long gone, with exception of Dances With Wolves.

I love the fact that it's all natural; only Native-American actors, and the English subtitles. And the photography and cinematography are fantastic.
