Older Than America - Movie Interview - Wes Studi

[azrausa]

Wow ! Such a powerfull movie!

[exeuroweenie]

I can hardly be bothered to finish most movies the first time.Just finished Older Than America the third time.Subtly powerful movies based on facts are so rare nowadays.

[BigLaxFan1994]

Wes is one of the many iconic Native actors! May the Creator keep blessing him and his career. ;)

[OrientalCouches]

I admire Wes so much. He is amazing. I hope someday I could meet him. I am also Cherokee. Plus Choctaw.(:

[CommonwealthPatriot]

Being of partial native heritage I find Wes to be a great inspiration

[CannibalCarp]

This guy is a great actor. I believe some of his performances needed to be honored.

[KrishnasLittleHelper]

his performance in The Last of the Mohicans should have won him an oscar.

[zahidania]

I'm exctied to watch it on fillmsi.co.cc! Not that I'm a fan of death but there's something bout horror flicks that interest me! Among all episode, this will be the best, thumbs up if you agree.

[zahidania]

But this was seriously one of the best films of the franchise. The ending is amazing. I found it at fillmsi.co.cc. It was a good movie. But stay away from reading the other comments cause someone spoiled it , and theres a twist.... so yeh.

[mollyfh]

What a cool guy and great actor.

[isabelle2436]

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AN INDIAN AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! I THINK IS ABOUT TIME! IM A PROUD TAINA INDIAN (ARAWAK) WEST INDIES.

[isabelle2436]

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AN INDIAN AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! I THINK IS ABOUT TIME!

[fosforito]

I love Wes Studi. He's such a great actor.

[lmollot]

whites wont stop till all on earth are albino mix- from boarding schools- to foster/adoption businesses and cps-poor mothers-african, chinese etc

[juglanscinerea]

@lmollot kill whitey.

[juglanscinerea]

@lmollot whitey chafes my fucking sack. every goddamn day.

[MonikaKulek]

A lighthearted, unpretentious comedy with a warm heart that I found on moovis.co.cc. This film is wonderful and deserves no less than absolute success. I loved the characters, and how good the whole story felt.

[madanrimal]

The clothes in this movie are truley spectacular, I liked it. Really enjoyed it, it's for everyone film. Definitely worth watching, it has all parts you need, happy ones and sad ones...and of course, the happy ending. But see all those twists alone, and for free...make sure yourself it is the best time for you. Go to moovi.co.cc!

[juglanscinerea]

Why does Magua hate the grayhair?

[LAprodz]

@juglanscinerea because they killed his wife & child

[juglanscinerea]

@LAprodz "Take land from the Abenaki, furs from the Osage, Sauk, and Fox. Trade for gold. No less than the whites. As strong as the whites!"

[TheSexybabyonline]

A beautifully crafted film. Obviously a lot of time and love was put into its creation and the end result is gorgeous. Extraordinary acting. You can see it on kookíca. Really prefect movie!

[pacman491]

I onced worked at a holiday inn and delivered wes studi his dry cleaning in gallup nm. He is really short, and gene hackman was there eating breakfast. Didnt know if that was coincidence.

[torpedoslight]

l'm waiting for someone, someone from a half-remembered dream.......love this movie so much........=) I saw it on kookíca and enjoyed!

[trashbash2001]

last of the mohicans and dances with wolves!!!! two of my favorite movies!!!

[ChiyoChanify]

This film is probably one of the best films iv ever seen on kookíca. The ending is little bit weird and.... But it's indeed a Brilliant and Fantastic Movie. See it and you want regret.

[italkyou88]

I find this one on kookíca and I was thrilled...t has a perfect blend of emotions and feelings aroused by this films...highly recommand

[italkyou88]

I have never seen the special effects that are so realistic and believable... find this one on kookíca and enyoj it...you won't be sorry

[jjarocho2009]

he's one of the greatest actor, even when he dont get the recognition, it may be cause he's native american and not a white person?. Just wondering.

[Eurotrash4367]

@jjarocho2009

No that's not why. That's just your inner racism clouding your opionin again.

[Uwohilatlitigv]

Wes ᎬᎨᏳᎯ!  :P

[romaneeto]

Wow! I never realized how articulate he is. The man is brilliant.

[Unkn0wnGuy]

He is very articulate and a great actor... it's nice to see such genuine people.

[Sidhe27]

How about everyone quit arguing about who is a "real" American and just enjoy the video? We are all here now and none of us are responsible for things that happened when in the past. Quit being hateful, there is too much of that in the world.

[gekkewaus]

Wes Sudi = Sagat!!

Great man!

[kitsune2222]

This actor has done great impact on me. I really hated this guy in "the last of the mohicans". When I come to think of it, it's because he's such a great actor. All my hate is there because of his amazing acting skills.

[sp0ttedp0ny330]

@enaouaoui -Mr. Studi is REAL native american indian..he's Cherokee :)

[19subrosa]

@sp0ttedp0ny330 Ah! i am a little confused. i know how native americans look like except when is about cherokee indians the ones i've seen and hear them say " im cherokee indian" they are white or black and with this i am not trying to insult anybody [just a comment] i went to a pow wow one time and every body was white and black. i knew Mr. Studi was native american but never knew he was cherokee i guess hes cherokee from united states, and the rest cherokees come from europe and africa...

[sp0ttedp0ny330]

@19subrosa hi :) well there are mix-bloods who follow the ways

of their Ancestors and so these may be some of the people that

you are seeing. also, many of the freedmen (former slaves) were

taken in and made family by the Cherokee People and so many of their

descendants are darker.there have been Colonials on this land

for over 400 years.it stands to reason they would have mixed in

with the First Nations People doesn't it?also,a lot of the Eastern Band

tend to be lighter than the Western.

[19subrosa]

@sp0ttedp0ny330 may be, but it has been proven genetically that the majorty of these so called cherokees have roots in europe and africa not even 1 % of cherokee from the united states, nada ZEROto me they are shameless and fake...

sorry it is just mineandmanyothers opinion.

greetings.

[DepressedGirlDie]

@19subrosa

Ugh, please, I've heard this before.

Actually, they came from the Middle Eastern parts of Asia.

Not Europe or Africa.

I am of Cherokee descent. And I am proud.

So don't ever call us fake.

We were in America before the white man.

[19subrosa]

@DepressedGirlDie if your skin is white, hair blonde and blue or green eyes than your'e a fake cherokee.

get it!!

[21armand]

@19subrosa no i dont my grand mother had blue eyes and it cause there from up nother like Canda Area and in Oaklahomoa hope i spelled it right sorry if i didnt my great great grand mother walked the Trail of Tears and had Blue eyes blonde hair and White like the snow so fuck off dude

[19subrosa]

@21armand Well, stop hoping and get yourself back to school. Your grandmother was a fake cherokee from europe then...so you are???????f...a...............­......k.....................ee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

[DepressedGirlDie]

@19subrosa

I am of Cherokee decent. Granted, no, I'm not full-blooded, but I am still damn proud to be Cherokee, and my great-grandfather was full-blooded, thank you. AND he had blue eyes. :D So tell me I'm fake now.

I am PROUD to be Cherokee. And anything you say will not change the fact that I am a CHEROKEE INDIAN!

So keep telling yourself we're all fakes. If we're fakes, you're fake.

We're all "dolls" in a "dollhouse," ne?

[19subrosa]

@DepressedGirlDie Yes, you are fake!!! because you aren't cherokee..,real natives don't have blue eyes. i guess being indigenous of the united states is cool NOW!! and fashionable... you people disgust me!!!

[DepressedGirlDie]

@19subrosa

I did say I wasn't full-blooded didn't I?

If you're so high and mighty, what nationality are you? Stop picking on us for a change and tell us what you are.

[19subrosa]

@DepressedGirlDie a REAL native of the American continent!!!

[davidtomthompson]

@DepressedGirlDie EVERY WHERE I GO MEXICAN PEOPLE MISTAKE ME FOR ONE OF THEM.MY MOMS WHIT MY DADS BLACK.COULD I HAVE NATIVE BLOOD ON ME SOME WHERE?

[DepressedGirlDie]

@MrMasterWiz

I do not think it's cool or new agey. Fact is, I'm proud of my blood. I have no idea what part my grandfather played in a tribe either, if he was in one.

The fact of my statements are, I'm part Indian. And I'm proud to be. I do not call myself full-blooded, because I know I am not.

And to hell with racist people. Who freaking cares what they think? If it gets under your skin, I'm sorry, but I deal with racist people too. What they say is just words. Just that and nothing more.

[21armand]

@DepressedGirlDie tell this puto i am half Cherokee and Yaqui out of Phoenix AZ

[Free715]

sexiest man alive!!

[pahkat51]

Wes sounds like a learned man. his roles were complicated and double-edged. He speaks to many in his interpretations. L♥e his shows.

[Bohemund]

I watched "Heat" where he played a modern man.

[enaouaoui]

he look real native american...

[19subrosa]

@enaouaoui yea huh! he looks like a real cherokee.

[sp0ttedp0ny330]

@enaouaoui that's because he IS a "real" Native American Indian

he's of the Cherokee People. :)

[fortchipman1234]

he has such a good bad guy look

[blahblahblinx]

wes studi is a fucking legend

[AngusOnkel]

I'm indeed a fan of those True Americans... Is there some memorial days where America actually celebraite Hero's like Geronimo and Sitting Bull ?

[fndu8s]

magua.AVATAR

[JohnathanTravolta]

AVATAR

[systemfan777]

wes studi and graham greene are the best indian actors. hands down.

[stellapiegirl]

hey everybody,like katelyn534 said,it is great to find others who are in-love with Wes as I am.He really is so sexy and so fun to watch on screen.He is the kind of actor you just don't want to take yours eyes off of,because you don't want to miss anything he does.

[katelyn534]

Yes Indeed!

[distortdpsyche]

@stellapiegirl I' thought Wes was hot since I was 12 years old, lol. he just has that something

[RockandRoller2009]

Wes studi is an awesome actor......probably the best native american actor of my time.

[MoroIzG]

That's a REAL american, not like them english devils, who stole their country! Forgive my comment, but i'm just telling the truth!

[ShamusMacGuffin]

@MoroIzG I'm an English devil who is happy he is a real American. I think he's fabulous, always been a fan of his work.

[baukiki]

I like the way he played at the movie " The last Mohicans" he looks very sadistic. Good actor. 5 star

[cheroshawnee]

It was LYE SOAP used it's nice that he tries to look on the bright side but yes he does seem 2 b trying to soften as well but then it may be his own of saying " HA is that all u Pilgrims got? U didn't destroy us ! Thanx for the free education after all LOOK AT ME NOW I'm where u wish u could be"

[valkyrieXX]

smart man... I didn't know that he was this articulate...

[greenhulk1982]

He,s one of my favorite actors and he very intelligent and has lot good things to say on behalf of all native americans and I also liked how he spoke cherokee in the trail tears video it is a very informative video on how the cherokee suffered and it was very tragic Andrew jackson one the worst presidents to the cherokee very badly and thank,s for posting the video

[BubbytheMicmac]

Try again Wes. This "Great Shared Experience" was traumatizing for most Native Americans and Canadians. To belittle it into some shared experience that people bonded in is putting it under one of your soft pink lights. You obviously need to soften your experience for those judging you but don't think your doing anyone a favor by softening this genocide.

[berlinfanaticos]

native americans are better people as americans as well

[Selenaencarnation]

yes we natives are

[bearandhammer]

Wonderful Guy!

Amazing Actor!

Intelligent,Compassionate..

Absolutely Focused..

Every Interview is worth hearing..

Thanks for this and all the other clips.

[deerdestroyer2009]

@bearandhammer exactly!

[Barbituranek]

Many idiots think that indians killed all of the real first americans... Wes Studi as well as many people in the western part of that continent looks just like the kennewick man!!!

[Selenaencarnation]

how could people think that us natives killed the first americans when us natives were here first ........................all of the us is really our land

[olduvaisampson]

He sounds like a really nice guy.

[ch3rryl3m0nn]

he did a good job in last of the mohicans.

but by the way,is he gay ? xD

[AndreaCzech]

married, two childs

[gvhnagewohali]

why would you think he's gay?

[mientjeo4]

i love wes studi when he plays magua in the last of the mohicans sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oo

beutifull

[ladyfox250]

I thought this interview with Wes Studi was great!

[mpjrdldn]

I find him to be sexy, too. I was stunned by his performance in The Last of the Mohicans.

[katelyn534]

Oh you have no idea how glad it makes me when I see that I am not the only one who thinks Wes is sexy,

But there is something about him that if I were to say he was hot it's wrong. As if he is deserves more than just "hot" or "sexy". He so smart, and a great actor.

I realize it's been 11 months since you've posted this lol but I thought I'd update.

[mpjrdldn]

I am always ready to discuss Wes' appeal. Thank you for responding! As far as his smartness, I agree, I those qualities struck me as I watched this clip. I love the way he tilts his head while listening to the interviewer!

[katelyn534]

Yes the head tilting is appealing I also love how he incorporates his hands while speaking in a way, and this may sound strange but, it's whimsical

[TOCR815]

I have the utmost respect for Wes Studi, he really is an inspirational actor.

[katelyn534]

Completely and totally true!

[Neverhead35811]

Great actor; the fact that he didn't get an Oscar for playing Magua is nothing short of a crime.

[dirtyfighter34]

word to that, just finished showing LOTM today, at a Korean university, and the only character that struck a cord with the audience was Magua. That says a lot about Wes Studi.

[oleheat]

Wes is the man! One of our greatest actors in my opinion- he doesn't get the recognition he deserves!

[hwiseman]

Not only is Wes Studi very intelligent, he's the sexiest man alive. There is just something about him!!!

[bdell555]

His voice adds to his character.

[chiara1099]

Harry, I never saw Magua as scary - once you learn that his entire family had been slaughtered in cold blood, everything he does made sense to me - he broke my heart. Wes played to perfection a man whose life has been utterly destroyed by the enemy. I loved his portrayal. What a great actor he is.

Really enjoyed this interview too - can't wait to see the film.

[freeflowingjoy]

Check out Wes Studi in the PBS Mystery dvd's made from Tony Hillerman's books. Coyote Waits is one.  I love Wes's protrayal of police detective Leaphorn. It's Brilliant! Also check him out in the movie Edge Of America. Can be found via Netflix.

[vigilance77]

What a nice man! And such a great actor!

[browneyes064]

What a lovely person. So polite, sadly we dont get much info in uk, other then u tube. Iveonly been on a couple of days. Cant believe how much info you can get on native americans, its great, such lovely people.

[AsSJaK5]

thank you, im native american

[Unawea]

I'm native too! I worked with the little girl at the begining of this movies trailer. What tribe are you out of curiosity?

[soulfox619]

Im not native american I'm portuguese, and I think Wes is very unerated. He is a good actor.

[StingDrift]

haha,harrygreb75,that was funny.

You could also watch him as 'The Toughest Pawnee'from Dances With Wolves,and then decide.

Wes is one of my favourite Native American actors,alongside Graham Greene.

I do not use the word 'Indian',for it is totally wrong (the real Indians,are from India)and besides,they are the TRUE Americans to me.The Heritage,The Keepers.

It will never be forgotten.

[Otadabun07]

Wes is a wounderfull Actor and I Love him.

[Otadabun07]

I Love Wes to he is an wounderfull Actor.

[Ogichidaawi]

I love Wes Studi! Thanks for the post!

[harrygreb75]

Watch him as magua - one of the scariest characters in cinema history - then decide

[sp0ttedp0ny330]

@maguagirl umm NO he's not gay...not that it makes a difference

but why would you even ask?
