Yar, you be here: Grey Owl > Customer Reviews Grey Owl Customer Reviews (1 - 3 of 14 Reviews)Keep An Open Mind
I must admit that when I first saw this DVD jacket at a video store I scoffed at it. Pierce Brosnan play an Native American? Yeah, right. Last night I was just about to go to bed and this movie came on. I said to myself, I've got to see this. As I watched I became intrigued by the subtle hint that something was amiss about the Grey Owl character. It was very late at night, but I was not sleepy because this movie is incredible. This is a moving story based on the actual life of Archibald Stansfeld Belaney. It is very well acted, written and directed. If you know nothing about the life of Archie Grey Owl, you will be amazed. There are some scenes in this movie that are very touching and powerful. For example, when Pony falls through the ice and Grey Owl rescues her. Also, when Grey Owl tells Pony his secret, her reaction is heart warming and powerful. To reveal too much about the story line is to spoil the film for someone unfamiliar with the life of a very interesting man. I watch a lot of movies and this one is really very good; and certainly worth the $8.99 asking price, in my opinion. As for the DVD, I do not have it. Based on the other reviews, there are 2 10 minute inteviews with the real Grey Owl; and to me, this is enough to purchase the DVD. Overlooked but wonderful for the right viewer
Not the typical film you expect to see with action and complex plots, and this film will not appeal to most who are not interested in environmental causes or Native Americans. However, slow as it is, it is well done and well acted, and I can see how Pierce Brosnan resembles the real Archie Belaney now that I have seen his picture online. A sleeper that will only be precious to a few, but if you are one of those, check this film out! Fantastic Movie
You cannot determine whether to laugh or cry. I guarantee you will do both. I love this movie and would recommend to the highest!!
