Clearcut 1991 PT.10

The movie begins and ends as a spirit, known in the movie as Arthur (Greene) enters, and descends back into the world from the water. Then the movie shows an airplane carrying a passenger to an Indian reserve, where they're blockading construction/forestry equipment from clearcutting on Indian land. We later realize that the individual was a lawyer representing the tribe whose land is going to be clearcut and the protesters are angered at the lawyer losing the case & the lawyer came to discuss an appeals process. Wilf (Westerman) is introduced at this time & then he in turn introduces Arthur, who also kidnaps the logging company's general manager, and the four take off through the woods where Arthur "instructs" them in listening to Mother Earth. Surrealistic, in its entirety, throughout the movie you're taken for a ride that will take you through many thought provoking scenes. In particular where Wilf describes Washakeajack, the Indian trickster.

I think the Polly and the necklace are to represent the spirit of the earth and how it's still trying to grow and flourish. She was the first one to welcome him, and is the last to see him go. The whole movie was about how people don't think about the consequences to their thoughts and wants. It was trying to show you how it's all connected; hate begets hate, indifference receives neglect, ect..

It's actually a pretty good book/movie adaptation.

There's some very good lines.

I remember watching this movie on VHS a few years after it came out and then it disappeared unlike roughly every other movie I had ever watched up to that point. It's one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen and one of the rare times I've seen a movie that reflects what's really at stake with the euphemisms of progress and civilization.

All races were given the gift of living on our mother the creator's garden. Most races, even Native tribes, are forgetting that we are the keepers of the Earth and she keeps us. There is a reason the water dripped out of that particular area of the glyph. We were all given simple instruction how to live with our mother. Some forgot by choice. They sought power and greed instead. When man stops taking care of her, she can simply take a bath and wash us all off like the parasites we are.

Shizzam never seen this show in a long time. I'm Dakota and couldn't understand much as a kid but now this movie makes more sense. Graham played a spirit and was teaching some cruel lessons. Sometimes thats what kind of lessons life teaches us. Spirits in the old stories did things that we might interpret as crazy, came to people as humans, they are the ones that taught us the ways of good and bad. Seems as though Graham was more of a trickster. You don't find much good movies like this one! TY!

Graham makes me proud! but the cutting of the chest and the pinky finger kinda weirded me out a bit..Great movie though.
