05/27/2011 I didn't care for this movie. C See more 12/12/2008 Very gripping story about a time in history that to many may seem distant but in actual fact is very recent. Get a chilling look at what life was like for many just a couple of generations ago while also having your heart warmed by the wonderful depictions of humanity. There are no nice white people in this movie and fair enough; there may not have been many of those around, but a bit more gradient a scale would have been appreciated. In the film's defense however white people actually feature in it very little and it is quite a tight story because of the tempo and methodical narration technique so wasting time showing a kind hearted Caucasian person which was a rare find in those days anyway might just have been a huge waste of time. I do recommend this movie because it tells its story from a perspective that I find otherwise scarce in movies in general.

See more 06/11/2008 I read a recommendation of the original and thought that's what I was renting when I got this version, filmed in Ontario only a few years ago. I don't know how it stacks up against the original but this movie is decidedly Mediocre.
