I doubt if the perfect movie has ever been made.

This one comes close. And, save Graham Greene, not an actor/actress in it that I ever heard of before I saw it.

Think tonight was likely my 5th time watching it. I don't care about anyone connected with it, their politics or whatever. It is a well crafted film

What made it come close to being the perfect movie?

I thought it was a decent film and certainly worth watching once, but was not anything memorable.

So white males are raping and killing Native women on reservations now all across the US? How do you know this to be true?

I guess if you never stepped on an Indian Rez out west you would believe anything Hollywood put out

Ok movie but a lot of nonsense propaganda

Please run all movie reviews by ribka before posting.
He is an expert on everything and will be happy set you straight.

It's a movie Ribka.

It would have been a fun night at the drive in, with you in the car when we saw Jaws...

I particularly enjoyed Jeremy Renner's .45-70 blowing people all the way across the trailer.

It is up again on Netflix or Prime right now. I forget which.

Yep. Any movie with a 45-70 is going to be a good one. You Yellerstone fans should enjoy it. Taylor Sheridan was the director.

You have to see “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” it is better, but Wind River did make me appreciate Jeremy Renner a whole lot more…

I thought is was a really good movie...

In my experience investigating crimes that spill off the rez, it’s other natives (quite often family members of tribal councils if not the council members themselves) that do some messed up stuff to the females.

Jaws was based on an actual well documented historic incident that interested Spielberg. unlike this movie

Did you end up getting rid of your old dog because it was inconvenient? You said you were

No Kidding. I’ve worked on rezs and that has always been the case in missing females Of course rampant meth crack and heroin addiction on western reservations has no impact on violent crimes, I grew up playing on a Chippewa Rez

White male oilfield workers are responsible for missing , raping native women on western Indian reservations. That’s what this movie portrayed


I worked this 8 years https://www.thevanished.org/



Can you post some evidence of this

Wind River is also one of the few movies with a reloading scene

Wind River is good, but if you want to see an even better Taylor Sheridan flick watch "Hell or High Water" or "Sicario"...

You posted earlier on here that you had an older friendly dog and wanted to
Kill it because of a divorce and inconvenience

I have a hard time taking you seriously because of this. Dislike cowards who abuse dogs


How’s your dog now?

The movie sucks..............

Fake-ass holywood BS

oh but there's uh 45-70
ohh an there's hot chick
yeah anna snowmobile

I remember now your dog was a nice beagle

Did you end up killing it? You said you wanted to

I enjoyed it. Some PC crap as is everything. Technically it was contracted security that raped the young lady. Some good shootouts, rugged men, nice scenery, and Mary Kate and Ashley’s sister did a great job. Jeremy Renner was great as usual even if he over trimmed his brass. Reasonable coverage of addiction on the Rez. Some familiar faces from Taylor Sheridan.

I've watched it twice now and will see it a third time at some point. I do remember thinking he was over trimming his 45-70 brass though

If you wanna quote me, it's easy enough. No need to twist words and lie.

I posted because I was happy to find an alternative to putting her down. I believe what I said was that I could put her down, if I had to, but it would kill my soul to do it.

At he time I was under court order to vacate my home due to a divorce court petition. I was, and am unable to buy another home due to the divorce still being pending and any real estate purchases being subject to sale and division by the court. The petition ordering me to vacate was reversed and the immediate requirement to relocate was negated. She is living with friends who have children and seems to be adjusted well.
I saw her every week until my surgery. Look forward to seeing her again...

wait, so the Lefts image of the "noble injun" is not true, my god man

I like big bore guns... always have.

It was entertainment fellas……

A well crafted movie.

Gotta “suspend disbelief” (a term I learned long ago in a college drama class) a few times, but a good movie.

I'll put the ROKU on that SOB.

Pretty bland movie.

Beyond the 45-70 throwing bodies around like confetti, the standoff between the security guys and LE stretched belief. And I suppose it could happen, but it would have ended with bodies on the ground right then and there.

Sometimes the plot takes priority over reality. (Ratchet that tension up a hair)

The most egregious part to me was when this rookie FBI Agent gets in an intense shootout, ostensibly her first, and everything doesn’t come to an immediate stop while FBI Headquarters are consulted and an outside investigation ensues.

There is a movie made in Canada I believe called, "12 Days of Terror" which tells the story that Jaws is based on. I also have a book that covers that incident titled, "Shark Attack" by H. David Baldridge that has a fairly detailed account of that incident. The movie follows the happenings fairly well a to what happened to the victims based on what is in the book.

This ^^^^ it is a movie that's all.

drover

You guys will argue about anything.

Agreed. But the burn barrel in the meth trailer was pretty close to reality.

Seen it again for the fourth time on Prime last night. Couple months from now, I'll probably watch it again.

No we won’t you fuggin’ moron.

And the skinny non-indian chick who plays indian chicks. She’s in Yellowstone too.

Agreed re "Hollywood"

+1

She's still hot though!

She is

Didn't he run over himself with his snow cat? Lucky to be alive.

Yes. Some say he nearly emasculated himself under the snow cat tracks. Who knows, he is lucky for sure, that was a bad accident.

It's supposedly based on a true story. Them out of control oil patch workers again.

I just watched it after you guys' reviews.
I liked it.

you should have worked some of this:

I agree, he was great in that movie. It was a really good movie, one of the best I've seen in the last 10 years or so.

Watched it with Jorge and Pugs. Gotta say, that is one disturbing movie, mostly because it was based on assorted real incidents, and you can see this happening. Hard to sleep after watching that one.

Did not see the front end, but found the latter 2/3rds quite engaging. Given its low budget and lack of Hollywood flash, I thought it was a good show.

There are some movies that bear watching over again when you’re sitting around with friends and/or family watching cable. The ones you’ll click on to watch while you’re scrolling through the rectangles.

ie.
Jeremiah Johnson
Open Range
Last of the Mohicans
Ride with the Devil
Lonesome Dove
3:10 to Yuma
Gladiator
Sicario I and II
etc……

Wind River is on this list.

The thing I appreciate about Graham Greene is AFAIK he never went all Radical after he got famous from DWW.

His bravura performance tho was in “Clearcut”, his own favorite role. He plays Arthur, a guy who may or may not be a vengeful water spirit. A major departure from his usual roles. Mediocre to average movie, but they could have filmed a whole series around Arthur.

I've seen it a few times. Better than most crap coming out of Hollyweird, but that isn't saying much.

If you want to see the extended version watch Season 4 of Longmire. Very similar story.

Another movie I enjoyed was Hostiles.

Christian Bale did a good job, as did others in the movie.

Greene played a really good bad guy in Longmire!

The vistas of scenery was awesome.

The actual hunting was good

The Indian sherif was very cool

But not crimping a tube fed 45/70 into a cannulure?

That dog 🐶 won’t hunt!

This was a good one.

I liked Wind River, liked Hostiles more better.

Same here.

Better plot, more action, etc. Just plain better movie.

Johnw: I liked it and gave it an 87 on the 100 scale.
But, to me, it was not near perfect - but I do go out of my way to watch it whenever it comes around.
Love the "Winds" - gonna pass through them again this fall.
Hold into the wind

As long as this thread has aleady been derailed, This is another "Better than" movie...

I'll have to give Hostiles a look.

No Country For Old Men, -->> Great movie indeed.

Longmire SUCKS !!!!!!!!
