This film had many beautiful elements to it I enjoyed and appreciated. The landscape shots were beautiful, majority of the cast I found to be good actors and well suited to their roles. The camera work was talented, and the costumes were stunning. There is one aspec to this film that weighs heavily on me, it was a lost opportunity to give rise and honour a heavily oppressed population. The film is set in the future, with an indigenous storyline, and a significant number of indigenous cast members. It was an incredible opportunity to invision a future for those native to Canada, where their culture and people could be brought to justice in a positive framework through the story and characters. A white male as the hero of the film is a lost opportunity to make a statement of how the hopes of indigenous people could unfold in the future, when a world has been laid to waste, but they can rebuild their people. Rebuild with the true strength of the Indian spirit. A people healing from the wounds of the past leading the way to a strong future, would be an excellent message.
In my opinion it should have been an indigenous character who forages the path. It is time for Canada to recognize the strengths of the people who first had relationship with this land, who built strong cultures and resilient people, on challenging land for humans to survive on. I believe film should serve a philosophical purpose of planting seeds the writer hopes to achieve some form of fruition in the viewers. A lot needs to be said about our people, often lost under a pile of discrimination and exploitation, which many Canandians lack compassion to see the real story of the past and present. If we cannot re-write the past, let our indigenous brothers and sisters forge a strong future, of hope, healing, and pride in the strong spirit and wisdom of the first people, who possibly end up as the last people. Let the original keepers of this land be the hero of the film, it's been a long time coming for them to be respected and appreciated for their knowledge and understanding. Overall a beautiful film in many ways, with talented contributors.
