the music in the video is "somewhat Irish" LOL, and I doubt he has a drop of it in him. He is FULL BLOOD!!! Cherokee is his first language, he didn't learn English til he was 18. He went to an all Native American school in Oklahoma on The Nation's land. And, I'm very proud to say I am a member of that Tribe! Look up his bio!
Wes Studi is an amazing actor, a true professional. Every movie that he is in is a much better movie just because of him being in it. He takes the roles that he plays and brings them totally to life and captivates his audience. Keep going Wes ! - longtime fan.
He suffers from something that all Native American actors suffer from - he is required to play everything from an Aztec to a Tlingit and back again! They have all had to do this - Jay Silverheels, Will Sampson, Dan George, Graham Greene. Having said that, Wes is THE definitive Magwa. Totally stole "Last of the Mohicans", acted everyone else off the screen!
@CinnAlla yes i agree - Wes "owned" the role of Magwa- anyone else he would have come off as a killing spree lunatic- Studi made him Human - a Deeply angry hating human - but human nevertheless and THAT takes deep talent.
@cometkatt And he recently appeared in an episode of "The Mentalist", this time as someone of Shoshone nationality. Yes I think he is a brilliant actor, without the necessity of the "Native American" tag, but I think giving him that tag does point out the problem for actors of Aboriginal American ethnicity; one might be Cherokee (like Wes) or Mohawk (like Jay Silverheels), but you're drafted in to play Mataponey, Nez Perce, Paiute, or whatever!
dentro de todas las desgrasias la llegada de los ingleses....este actor es muy buen tiene una personalidad mui buena .hasta en el momento de su muerte en el acantilado y la musica mui buena
He's up there with the greats like Richard Burton and Anthony Hopkins.
Only trouble is, he doesn't get get anywhere near the same praise. (Example: Why no oscar for him for The Last Of The Mohicans? He shit all over every other actor that year.)
He is truly brilliant compared to ANY other actor :)
thats true but people just want him for native american roles which is bad because the interest in another indian movie is has faded. He should've taken more diversity in his roles but he must be happy to know hes a great actor without all the problems that come with being overtly famous
535manbearpig, I agree. But I also suspect he wasn't offered diverse roles in the first place, which is a great shame. A lot of brilliant actors get discarded or rarely used due to age, race, etc. (Despite how fantastic they might be.)
In his case, it's a HUGE shame because I'd have to say he's the absolute best actor I've ever had the pleasure of seeing.
Wes is one of the best Native American actors ever put on film. And this guy is for real outside of his characters, because he is also a Vietnam Veteran who served. I've always respected him and enjoyed his work as an actor. This is a very nice video of his work. Good job.
I love Wes Studi..I think that he is great! I agree with zukboy1127 about never letting the "white eye" land in the first place. The Native people tried to befriend and help the whites and all they got in return was a bunch of empty promises and broken treaties. Yes..the immigrants could've learned much from the Indians, but were too damned greedy. Indian people should be appreciated and recognized and an important part of this country..they were here first. I too am proud of my heritage!!
If Native Americans knew what was in store for them, they would have never let the pilgrims off of the ship; much less, kept them from starving. They are the most mistreated people in this country. The people of the US could have learned so much,(and still can) from the Indian Nations; the keepers of the land; all things of Creaton are sacred; not to be destroyed just because it can..I'm proud to be part of the Cherokees!!!!!!
are you serious? 50 million were here when the white-eye arrived.Small pox on blankets,cannons against bow and arrow,mission schools,rape,enslavement.This was genocide, but judging by your channel the thought probably appeals to you. Natives had war, yes but we did not kill. ever hear of counting coup? touching an enemy in battle? we couldn't even speak our languages until 1978. when running ur mouth check 2 c that ur brain is engaged first.
Wes Studi (born 12/14/47) is one of my favorites too, such a beautiful face. First saw him in Dances with Wolves; he played the Pawnee warrior.
I wish that Native Americans ran this country and the entire world. They're the only people who ALWAYS respected the environment, & their elders. Native Americans did not have the societal decay & preversion that exists today.
There's so much to admire about Native Americans least of which they were physically beautiful people as well.
try the anasazai and human sacrifice. Or the fact that the inde or Apache didn't move to the deserts because they loved them. They moved because their neighbors, the Commanche and Utes drove them from where they originally had settled in the lower 48. There was a lot to admire, but don't think that anything human comes anywhere near perfection. Try the apache habit of cutting off the tip of the wife's nose for infidelity but nothing happened to the women.
Based on what you know about history over the last 2000 years, ask yourself which RACE of human beings has proven itself to be the most aggressive, violent & harmful to it's own kind & other living beings compared to other races of people? Which RACE has been involved in more killing & imperial military invasions & occupations of other countries than any other RACE?
I believe that these questions go to the heart of your comment.
Another way of saying this or looking at it is 'what race has been the most successful in dealing with the issues of population and natural human growth'
You're telling me this? What makes you think I'm not aware of it? I'm of the people of whom they insisted on acquiring for forced labor in the so-called New World, even though they were CHRISTIANS and enlightened. My ancestors were chained in the hold because those that were put on the deck had a tendency to jump overboard and die rather than submit. But the point is, every society has its blemishes. For some reason, European society has more than the rest combined.
Boy do you need to study some real history.First up I know Wes,,,hes an a-hole.
If Indians ran this country it would be in ruins and debacle as are their own reservations.Indians are NOT the only people who have respected their environent and elders....what romance novel BS have you been reading ,,,,or imagining.
STUDI is laughing his ass all the way to the bank dude. This country is ruined & not by the Natives. Daily Chemtrail spraying, Mercury in 80% of lakes, stream & rivers; anti-depressants in drinking water; Salmonella, e-Coli in veggies, madcow, GM crops, radiation exposure to computers & microwaves, need I go on? WAR? What is it good for? Good for those who decide who your enemies are & profiteers. The best run country in the world, right? I think it's you who needs the education & a good BJ ;)
Um pretty sure he is already broke drank most of his $ up.
If Indian people had been or were more numerous then they too would have had to
develop all that everyone else has.All the woes of the Earth are based on population growth which is a part of the human condition,especially when a peoples are successful.
Indians loved & love War so there is no difference there either,people are people the world over and Indians are no different & no one said this is the best country though it is
If that's true, then it's a pity. Studi has his karma to live out, like we all do.
You probably won't have to concern yourself with over population. There is not too much hope that human beings will come to their senses in time to heal the Earth & the damage becomes irreversible. But good luck to you anyway.
i've only seen Mr Studi in Last of The Mohicans, but it's enough for me to love him, lol. his face is really quite something.. and i always had some empathy for Magua..
magua was actually the good guy the indians that sided with the french were better off, most tribes sided with the french like the penobscot, or my favorite the chippewa cause im chippewa(grand traverse band)
He's maybe a wonderful actor, but in person he's really disgusting! Quite unfriendly, and I don't care how many thumbs down i get, 'cause it's the truth!
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Wes Studi....I admire him as an actor he does stir our emotions as he plays great roles of his people. A-ho my brother !!
Yeah, Magua scared the sheeeeeeeeet out of me, but I must say; Wes, you have stirred deep emotions with your portrayals of the american indian. Kudos to you, excellent job, well done sir, you are an asset to your people. God bless....
