Yes it is fairly low budget and the acting is not "perfect" however if you are straight like me and ALLOW yourself to go there, to imagine this world exists and put yourself in the shoes of if you were gay and the outcast and the loneliness and the pain that could occur.

If you allow this to happen within you, you may have an awakening like I did.

I live in an area that is predominantly Christian and people often only act Christian when it is easy to do so. The real test is to see others out in their daily routine.

Let me say this, there are few actual "saints" out there.

I bawled like a baby watching this, especially towards the end.

If this movie moves you, share it!

We need to LOVE people. This world needs it desperately. Even a smile can change someones day.

I watched this last night for the first time and I am still in awe. I don't know how Mel Gibson made this film. It really astounds me. All native American actors in most of the film.

I won't write much about the movie though I will say that it takes you somewhere else, to an ancient mindset. An odd and sometimes strange yet wonderful mindset of an ancient culture.

There are characters that we can love, have concern for, see importance of family and of community and even humor. Also they hunt, they kill animals and live off the land.

There are heartbreaking scenes and others that are truly inspiring.

It seems that intelligent cultures have the tendency to control or dominate other cultures that are less advanced. This is present in this film.

I would call Mel a mad genius. There is often a borderline between high intelligence and madness.

A movie has not moved me as much as this film, in a long time.
