Clearcut 1991 PT.4

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.

This is one of the greatest movies of all time. Giving nature the power to show you how our world looks to them. xoxoxoxo to all involved. Graham Greene is the king

I didn't like this movie--and i like ALL native movies. Something about it was really twisted--fighting fire with fire so to speak. I'm not sure that is true native spirituality--you know using spirit for revenge even if warrented. And YET certainly these multi nationals are ruining the earth--is there retribution? Yes, but it won't be skinning an executive---it'll be something more earth retribution. heh, come to think of it, its happening already, isn't it.

Graham was fantastic in this movie but I hate to see him play such a bad person.I loved him in Thunderheart.He is one of my all time favorite actors.
