Smoke Signals
Everything an independent film should be. Smoke Signals is an original with a great cast. A low budget film, Smoke Signals leaves you with a good feeling. It was very funny, but also had its bitter, angry, and sad moments, as well as a little poetry and lots of visual beauty.The best part of the film for me was Irene Bedard. Besides her talent as an actress, sh
But I'd like to see a movie about the strength of the Native Americans as well as their problems. This symbolized that the past was put behind, and the start of a new beginning. Smoke Signals does not show enough of that. The film ends up addressing or at least giving us something interesting to think about for all of these issues, but it just seemed like too many themes to address in 90 minutes. There is a minor realization at the end and the poetry and photography were nice. But the talent of director, Chris Eyre and writer, Sherman Alexie make me look forward to their next film. The "Parallel Cut" in the film was the conclusion in the film with Irene Bedard putting fire to the trailer, and Adam Beech starting the old truck. She had her act together! But she is left behind and the heavy story continues. ------------------------------------------------------------------------**Bibliography**. As I continued watching the film, more themes creeped in, such as the nature of oral tradition and exaggeration/lying within it, what it means to be a Native American in the middle of the nation that oppressed your people, and the nature of fatherhood and forgiveness.
