WHERE CAN I WATCH PATHFINDER MOVIE MOVIE
A Native female lead over 50 in a movie directed by Native female writer/director. A Native female lead over 50 in a movie directed by a Native female director. A Native female lead over 50 in a movie directed by a Native director. Watch “This May Be the Last Time” on iTunes “Falls Around Her” (2018)Ī Native lead. But Sterlin shoots his subjects with all the love he can muster, allowing the viewer to see his homelands the way he does: with abject and total beauty that puts a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye just thinking about it. Usually, when someone shoots something “rural” or “country,” there’s a tendency to focus on poverty or quirk, lumping people into caricature. Now, Oklahoma isn’t wealthy and the air is muggy. It’s a documentary about the origin of songs, particularly Creek hymns, juxtaposed with a personal exploration of a family mystery. But I could honestly watch “This May Be The Last Time” over and over again. So it’s hard for me to give a true compliment without the accompanying teasing and ribbing. We started a comedy group together (shameless plug #2!). Director Sterlin Harjo is a brother to me. “Harold of Orange” is one such statement. But that doesn’t mean we weren’t always making statements. Easy distribution and word of mouth have shifted the filmmaking landscape, opening doors to diverse voices. And I mean that literally, as my dear ol’ dad Bill Pensoneau is one of the “Warriors of Orange.” Looking at this film, I can’t help but wonder how much more mainstream success Charlie Hill would’ve attained if he had access to YouTube or the like. A comedy group I co-founded, the 1491s (shameless plug!), wouldn’t exist if not for the people involved in this film. Written by Gerald Vizenor and starring the late, great Charlie Hill, “Harold of Orange” feels like a spiritual successor to “Putney Swope,” but with a Native bent.
Harold and his group of trickster warriors tease, teach, and shuck a liberal foundation’s board members. Watch “Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner” on iTunes “ Harold of Orange” (1984) I might just go watch it before I finish this list. It’s so insanely good and gorgeous and dramatic and funny and heart-wrenching and ugh. What sets “Atanarjuat” apart is that it’s wholly of its place and culture, and nobody except someone FROM that place and culture could’ve made it. It’s like a newspaper horoscope…”something will happen to the characters, isn’t that weird?” … God, it’s like we’re all humans or something… I digress).
What I meant is, it’s Joseph Campbell’s monomyth stuff, but only in the vaguest terms (oh, does the hero leave and come back changed, Campbell? God. I used to say that this was the only Native film ever made. I know this is on Billy Luther’s list this month.
