I don’t remember the last time a film impacted me this much (movie: Woman Walks Ahead). Here’s the story of chief Sitting Bull and painter Catherine Weldon.

The greatest stain on the honor of the United States is what they did to the Native American community. I hope the Native American people thrive and keep their beautiful culture away from greedy hands. I’m so sorry that we all lost so much of it already.
Agree, but the people in those days are gone. It's up to us here now to have peace with each other. Learn from history! Had good and bad on both sides. Do not blame all Europeans,
DashMLGNO you should learn more about history and life. I’m Native American but I’m not angry with you. You just don’t know. That’s okay. It’s okay if you decide to educate yourself or not.
I just finished the movie, I am devastated. I can't stop crying. My God what they had to endure breaks my heart. Michael grayeyes performance was impeccable. He was over looked he deserved an Oscar and Jessica to. This movie is one of the best. 👏👏👏👏
In my opinion this film is an insult to the memory of both Caroline (yepp, that was her real name) Weldon and Sitting Bull. He would never have given up on his people and the fight for their rights and their land. And she… I don't even know where to begin describing how utterly degraded this great historical figure has been by this movie. Ironically, just like she was in the press of her time. Anyone who feels touched by this piece of fake History shall find much more to be impressed by in Weldon's biografie "Woman Walking Ahead" by Eileen Pollack, ridiculously cheap as a kindle, and a great, great read.
That's why you never believe in native american side of the story , and make believe. That custer fought to the end..... bullshit. He shot himself in the head. And that's why no warrior took anything from him.......
For all those watching this video and respect the Native American people. There is an organization called One Nation Walking Together. They dedicate themselves to helping those still living on the reservations. Just wanted to put that out there in case any one wants to research in to how to help ❤️❤️❤️
@@gerica82 there is so much good in this world too though. I have to hold that belief in my heart. Mr Rogers mother used to tell him, when something bad happens, instead of looking for the ones doing wrong, look for the helpers, looks for those trying to do good. Thinking of that always helps me. ❤️ I do hope your struggles are few and far between ❤️ I hope you can find peace and health in this new year. Stay safe kind soul ❤️
@@masuganut2082 thanks for kind words. I struggle everyday with prejudices in my society . I'm some kind of Don Quixote, everlasting fight with windmills. Many injustices will never be corrected, one of them is what West "civilization" did to American Natives and Aboriginals. Many thanks to lady director of this great movie as well to actors. This is definitely my favourite picture. Love Jessica and Michael. Good bless them. And you , my friend. ❤️
@@gerica82 I’m so sorry for what you’re dealing with. But please remember, well it’s what I believe, everything has a purpose. Even the bad. Even though sometimes that’s a very hard thing to try and accept or believe. We may not understand but everything that has happened in our lives has shaped us. A quote I love is “life is 1% what happens to you and 99% percent how you react to it” You so clearly have a kind and strong heart. So it’s obvious that you have not let the injustices in your own life negatively change your heart. That shows such an immense amount of strength and you should be so proud of yourself for that. My favorite comedienne said in her one book in which she tries to help others to look on the brighter side of life....” the world needs a YOU in it”.... you were born exactly when you were supposed to be born, you have a purpose on this earth. Everyone is important and just by being yourself, whatever that may look like, is so integral. You have such worth and your potential may seem unimaginable in your present situation but I can promise you, with my whole heart, I know for a fact that your soul is ABSOLUTELY limitless. I hope you are able to break away from the injustices and find true happiness. Bless you Kind Soul and thank you for your kindness ❤️

@@jesusofnazareth6254 Name one of those books? Maybe they had class differences but that doesnt change the fact that the poorest man in a tribe was the chief.
@@Isaiflamand Wrong, native americans had a very similar social structure as the aztec (mexica) empire. The aztec (mexica) slavery is considered one of the most cruel ways of slavery. Also if you look the Inca social pyramid, also there was the emeperor, the nobles, the citizens, the soldiers, the poor, abd the slaves who worked for the emperor and the nobles (who also hold the majority of gold and silver) for no money only food and sometimes were sacrificed just like the Mayans and azteca did. It's considered that Cherokees used to do sacrifices too. Other thing is most american tribes used to rape the younger girls in a way to initiate them in the female life. Not all that glitters is gold.
I'd like to think that the same thing happened for my great grandmother and my or my great grandmother and my great grandfather who are separate who were separated because she was mohican and he was Irish. And their children were sold to an adoption house Because how dare they look quite
I read somewhere that millions of Native American people (tribes) used to live & roam all over the US before foreign explorers reached the continent around the 16th century. It’s devastating to think that we missed out on so much history, culture, friendship, and wisdom by murdering such extraordinary native people. Life would have been so much better than it is now and we could have learned so much instead of spilling blood. One of my great grandmothers was full Cherokee and she was told to change her name because it was shameful back then; I often wonder what she could have taught me.
I do have native blood and I have spent a lot of time in South Dakota on the rez. But let's not glorify these cultures like they never made mistakes, like they weren't people too. Some tribes were cannibals, some tribes especially in South America, sacrificed children and people, these tribes fought against and conquered each other, murdered each other and stole children from each other just like all civilizations before them. there is a bit of glory about the beauty of the plains and I just love it out there. it breaks my heart to see a proud people living in a third world country on the rez, but we do have to accept that they were just people too. this stuff about the environment and how they cared for it; when you're that small a group of people, when you don't have that many people living in your group and you have all this land, you are going to make less of an impact, especially since they had no machines. And believe me, they wanted the iron from the whites and the guns. my point being, accept people for what they are and don't make them better than they are or worse than they are. My friend always told me that Native People had a bad immigration policy. (Sort of like today.)
@@slidenapps every culture practices cannibalism and warred their neighbour's over boundaries etc and everything you mention - all of our cultures and colors - it doesn't hurt to wish things went a better way and focus on the fact that all our peoples, and cultures were more connected to the lands and earth - prior to being concored by the christians
My great grandmother was also Cherokee..I also wondered what I may have learned from her... In the Jim Crow South it was against the law for people of different races to marry...I hear family stories without a y mention of her..
Explorers? are u serious ........the foreign occupiers ......Explorers go back home. its happening now as well but we choose to turn a blind eye ........lets not kid our selfs .....
@@paiman1969 Then every people all over the globe are nothing but occupiers. There isn’t a square inch of land that hasn’t been fought over for resources, safety features, water rights, etc, and on every continent. Our forefathers were adventurers, explorers and conquerors and weren’t one bit apologetic for it: winning just meant you and your tribe weren’t the ones being eliminated, disenfranchised, or sold into slavery - at least not that day.
Make your visit soon if you're interested in the landscape us heathens are destroying it at an amazingly rapid rate! This last oil boom really wreak havoc. If you're interested in the culture of the Lakota Sioux They've done a great job of keeping it alive in the states of North Dakota and South Dakota they have a university in Bismarck if you're interested in looking into that?
I have never seen this film. I couldn't watch this film because I won't stop crying. Love and respect to all the native Americans and the people that passed on. Stand proud and keep your rich culture alive. I live a simple life just like the past native Americans. If I can't help people, my life would empty.

Yes. One of my friends was a Crow traditional dancer. His moves at pow-wow were awesome and he was so handsome. He had been in the US Marine Corp and had incorporated his dress trouser stripe in his back apron. Our Native people are the highest percentage of non-Whites represented in the US armed forces. I just heard that on PBS two nights ago.
@Kyril J Only your last statement is true and you can blame the casinos for that. 18.6% Native Americans served in the post-9/11 period in a higher percentage than veterans of other ethnicities, 18.6 percent vs. 14 percent, respectively. Figures from the DOD. americanindian.si.edu/nnavm/heroes/

I haven't seen this movie, but as I was watching this clip I decided I will not be able to watch the end. Michael Greyeyes is an amazing actor- such depth. But, I'm already moved to tears just watching this clip. Beautiful story, but my heart cannot bear the ending.
videos like this always break my heart. i am lakota sioux. the most tragic but proudest part of myself. my heart breaks for my brothers and sisters in every tribe who survived these times and the systematic destruction / genocide we are going through currently. people tend to forget about us. media blacks us out. we only have each other so spread love. i was lucky enough to leave ogalala at 5 years old and grew up with successful parents in california. few of us are able to make it out with our governments oppression. rooting for you all.
I’m incredibly grateful I stumbled upon this video. I immediately went to Amazon to buy and watch it and scarcely blinked throughout it for fear of missing anything. Beautiful story about a truly beautiful people that didn’t deserve the treatment they received. And Michael Greyeyes... my goodness.
The film's cast list shows Jessica Chastain's character as Catherine Weldon; a slight change from the real woman upon whom the character is based, Caroline Weldon (a common thing for based-upon films). This is a fascinating piece of history. Sadly, even the A-list actors who appeared in this film (and I include Michael Greyeyes in that list) couldn't get it nominated for any awards (afaik). Was it a for-the-love project for those involved? Did it not get noticed due to the glut of other films in 2018? Did its subject cause it to get less notice? Hard to say. Perhaps all those things had some influence, as well as other factors. It's a damn shame. Based on what I've seen of it so far, it looks like a well-crafted film with high-caliber performances.
Norther56 I agree. Woman Walks Ahead deserves much more recognition! It’s a breathtaking film with incredible acting. But at least we found this treasure; perhaps sooner or later the rest of the world will catch up! :)
Maybe because it had a British female director and the movie wasn't kind to the Army and the whites. The acting was wonderful and scenery glorious. Every actor played their part expertly. Wonderful movie, I had to buy the DVD

Strong beautiful mature and free men, able to care, protect, educate and share, and feel a wide range of emotions. What a life and time it was. This video does look sad, but not more than the history behind it. Support to all who still keep that culture.
I know this is going to be a painful yet beautiful movie so I was hesitating on watching it. Took me days after I watched this clip before deciding to watch it today. Now my eyes are swollen. It such a wonderful movie. I really hope that the government will give more rights, opportunities, lands, and respect to the natives. They deserve it from the very beginning and they deserve more.
The one made this video is an artist. cause he/she was able to take a masterpice and turn it into another masterpiece. I don't like to watch movies with sad endings, but I feel like I will miss out a life lesson if I won't. Thank you
This is such a sad and beautiful story...racism is the worst. Both Sitting Bull and Catherine Weldon deserved to be together long term. Of course times were way worse back then for minorities and women who thought for themselves.
I was crying since 1/3 of the video. I'm so sad that the whole culture, so many tribes got destroyed like this 💔 and the worst is the mixed couples, people that are different in some way are still being attacked for it and there are still racist, misogynist, stupid people who believe they are better just because their skin is white 💔
I am a white woman and my heart breaks for what my ancestors did. My life and my heart doesn't reflect on their deeds. My heart and my life see no color. I see beauty in every culture and race.

I’ll check this one out, looks like a moving story and film, and besides my love, and appreciation of the Native American culture. I also like Jessica and I’ve “heard” of SittingBull. Looks absolutely heart touching...✨💚✨
I've only recently discovered this film! Stunningly beautiful and completely heartbreaking. I've always been interested in Native American history and horses. This video is perfect, I love the chosen clips and the lovely music. Thank you from England x
Alisa, thank you so much for taking the time to put your recommendation of this movie on UA-cam. I was really moved and have sent your recommendation on to many many others. Thank you.

One of my N-Greats grandmothers was born in Indian Territory (Kansas I think) and was just a little girl while living in close proximity of where an Indian Uprising took place (as the history books named it).

Robby 2k, oh dear. I hope I didn’t mislead viewers into thinking this is the film’s trailer. It is not, in fact, a trailer - more so a complication of moments. You should definitely watch the movie - it is well worth it!

What an amazing story! What a beautiful heat to heart soul to soul relationship! There is a fine Ojibwa man( who looks nothing like Michael Greyeyes) who has a beautiful soul..that I wish to be held by him as Chief Sitting Bull held Catherine.
I dy know if I could watch this movie all the way through. If be crying my eyes out. My husband n daughter are from the Modoc Tribe. Non of us are all "sensitive" over the past. My husband just says "that was then, this is now"
Sorry but this video makes me addict and makes me cry every time . The music behind is so bewitching. Stop .... Well, i'm gonna listen to Jakub Orlinski ! i love his voice ! Have a good day !

Another line that I really like in the movie: *"Your society values you with how much you have. We value people by how much they give away."*
I love that line!!
It's true, native mantra 🏹
That's bullshit still. You have hundreds of books about native americans having class differences, economic differences of course.
@@jesusofnazareth6254 Name one of those books? Maybe they had class differences but that doesnt change the fact that the poorest man in a tribe was the chief.
@@Isaiflamand Wrong, native americans had a very similar social structure as the aztec (mexica) empire.
The aztec (mexica) slavery is considered one of the most cruel ways of slavery.
Also if you look the Inca social pyramid, also there was the emeperor, the nobles, the citizens, the soldiers, the poor, abd the slaves who worked for the emperor and the nobles (who also hold the majority of gold and silver) for no money only food and sometimes were sacrificed just like the Mayans and azteca did.
It's considered that Cherokees used to do sacrifices too. Other thing is most american tribes used to rape the younger girls in a way to initiate them in the female life.
Not all that glitters is gold.
"You don't walk ahead of a Chief" ..
They met again on the other side where there is no prejudice or hate only love and peace.❤🌈
Did they shoot the white horse too?
I'd like to think that the same thing happened for my great grandmother and my or my great grandmother and my great grandfather who are separate who were separated because she was mohican and he was Irish. And their children were sold to an adoption house Because how dare they look quite
I read somewhere that millions of Native American people (tribes) used to live & roam all over the US before foreign explorers reached the continent around the 16th century. It’s devastating to think that we missed out on so much history, culture, friendship, and wisdom by murdering such extraordinary native people. Life would have been so much better than it is now and we could have learned so much instead of spilling blood. One of my great grandmothers was full Cherokee and she was told to change her name because it was shameful back then; I often wonder what she could have taught me.
I do have native blood and I have spent a lot of time in South Dakota on the rez. But let's not glorify these cultures like they never made mistakes, like they weren't people too. Some tribes were cannibals, some tribes especially in South America, sacrificed children and people, these tribes fought against and conquered each other, murdered each other and stole children from each other just like all civilizations before them. there is a bit of glory about the beauty of the plains and I just love it out there. it breaks my heart to see a proud people living in a third world country on the rez, but we do have to accept that they were just people too. this stuff about the environment and how they cared for it; when you're that small a group of people, when you don't have that many people living in your group and you have all this land, you are going to make less of an impact, especially since they had no machines. And believe me, they wanted the iron from the whites and the guns. my point being, accept people for what they are and don't make them better than they are or worse than they are. My friend always told me that Native People had a bad immigration policy. (Sort of like today.)
@@slidenapps every culture practices cannibalism and warred their neighbour's over boundaries etc and everything you mention - all of our cultures and colors - it doesn't hurt to wish things went a better way and focus on the fact that all our peoples, and cultures were more connected to the lands and earth - prior to being concored by the christians
My great grandmother was also Cherokee..I also wondered what I may have learned from her...
In the Jim Crow South it was against the law for people of different races to marry...I hear family stories without a y mention of her..
Explorers? are u serious ........the foreign occupiers ......Explorers go back home. its happening now as well but we choose to turn a blind eye ........lets not kid our selfs .....
@@paiman1969 Then every people all over the globe are nothing but occupiers. There isn’t a square inch of land that hasn’t been fought over for resources, safety features, water rights, etc, and on every continent. Our forefathers were adventurers, explorers and conquerors and weren’t one bit apologetic for it: winning just meant you and your tribe weren’t the ones being eliminated, disenfranchised, or sold into slavery - at least not that day.
My ancestry is Lakota this makes me more proud to know my ancestors.
I still feel pain knowing what happened.
I hope to visit the plains at some point
Hekateria Brookes Mine is Yakama and I visited the reservation where my mom and her siblings were born. Truly proud.
Make your visit soon if you're interested in the landscape us heathens are destroying it at an amazingly rapid rate! This last oil boom really wreak havoc. If you're interested in the culture of the Lakota Sioux They've done a great job of keeping it alive in the states of North Dakota and South Dakota they have a university in Bismarck if you're interested in looking into that?
My mom was Lokota and lived on resvation
Hekateria Brookes It’s a beautiful place to see for sure
Is this a true story? I thought it was a great movie
when an injustice happens to a group of humans it effects everyone as a whole.
Nahh im ok with it
They're is not a group on the planet that hasn't had injustice happen. So we're all in the same boat.
That's because we are ALL one just individually different.
@@jenster29 'there is'. 'they're' means ' they are.'
When we harm others, we also inflict damage on ourselves whether we acknowledge it or not.
I honestly don't think I can watch the movie. This trailer left me in tears.
I have never seen this film. I couldn't watch this film because I won't stop crying. Love and respect to all the native Americans and the people that passed on. Stand proud and keep your rich culture alive. I live a simple life just like the past native Americans. If I can't help people, my life would empty.
One of the best Catherine/Sitting Bull videos I've watched so far. The music didn't drown out the dialogue and you can see they're developing bond.
I just watched this movie last night because of this video. I'm so glad that I did. Thank you for making this.
Me too! Wonderful!
In my opinion this film is an insult to the memory of both Caroline (yepp, that was her real name) Weldon and Sitting Bull. He would never have given up on his people and the fight for their rights and their land. And she… I don't even know where to begin describing how utterly degraded this great historical figure has been by this movie. Ironically, just like she was in the press of her time.

Some of the most handsome men I have ever seen were a group of young native Indian men in northern Alberta ..
So true.
Yes. One of my friends was a Crow traditional dancer. His moves at pow-wow were awesome and he was so handsome. He had been in the US Marine Corp and had incorporated his dress trouser stripe in his back apron. Our Native people are the highest percentage of non-Whites represented in the US armed forces. I just heard that on PBS two nights ago.
@Kyril J Only your last statement is true and you can blame the casinos for that. 18.6%
Native Americans served in the post-9/11 period in a higher percentage than veterans of other ethnicities, 18.6 percent vs. 14 percent, respectively. Figures from the DOD. americanindian.si.edu/nnavm/heroes/
Makes me look bad lol, I'm Navajo and I look no where that way.
I grieve for their loss of their nation
The American Indian Nation is not in land but in our People!As long as we are alive,it is alive!Proud to be a Cheerokee Queen!
Candy Croom Good for you. And Your absolutely right.
Why they were and some still are pagans.
@@bluesky-pb9di so because we honor our mother the Earth,honor women as sacred,& see life , spirit & connection in all things we r not worthy of life to u!4 800 yrs we have suffered as our earth has!How much more can we take!😭
@Chief Tahchawwickah Just because my name doesn't sound American Indian doesn't mean I am not, my dad has Cheerokee, my mom is full white!There is a church by my home that names the four sets of from Scotland and Ireland who bought land from & intremarried,but noone wants to claim anyone because of a century old land dispute!
OMG I am crying just watching this, I have to watch the movie! Why we didn't know about it before?
Good question
We have all this smut movies and TV this movie grabs you and keep your attention the history behind this movie is unreal
She painted his soul. I hope that they get a 2nd chance to be with one another.
I haven't seen this movie, but as I was watching this clip I decided I will not be able to watch the end. Michael Greyeyes is an amazing actor- such depth. But, I'm already moved to tears just watching this clip. Beautiful story, but my heart cannot bear the ending.
videos like this always break my heart. i am lakota sioux. the most tragic but proudest part of myself. my heart breaks for my brothers and sisters in every tribe who survived these times and the systematic destruction / genocide we are going through currently. people tend to forget about us. media blacks us out. we only have each other so spread love. i was lucky enough to leave ogalala at 5 years old and grew up with successful parents in california. few of us are able to make it out with our governments oppression. rooting for you all.
Michael Greyeyes will be 53 next month and he still looks awesome!
I’m incredibly grateful I stumbled upon this video. I immediately went to Amazon to buy and watch it and scarcely blinked throughout it for fear of missing anything. Beautiful story about a truly beautiful people that didn’t deserve the treatment they received. And Michael Greyeyes... my goodness.
Woman Walks Ahead, has become one of my all time favorite.
Patsy Castillo same here :))
The film's cast list shows Jessica Chastain's character as Catherine Weldon; a slight change from the real woman upon whom the character is based, Caroline Weldon (a common thing for based-upon films). This is a fascinating piece of history. Sadly, even the A-list actors who appeared in this film (and I include Michael Greyeyes in that list) couldn't get it nominated for any awards (afaik). Was it a for-the-love project for those involved? Did it not get noticed due to the glut of other films in 2018? Did its subject cause it to get less notice? Hard to say. Perhaps all those things had some influence, as well as other factors. It's a damn shame. Based on what I've seen of it so far, it looks like a well-crafted film with high-caliber performances.
Norther56 I agree. Woman Walks Ahead deserves much more recognition! It’s a breathtaking film with incredible acting. But at least we found this treasure; perhaps sooner or later the rest of the world will catch up! :)
imo racism and neglect is still alive and well in hollywood, so yes, you're right...never even heard of this lovely film til now
Maybe because it had a British female director and the movie wasn't kind to the Army and the whites. The acting was wonderful and scenery glorious. Every actor played their part expertly. Wonderful movie, I had to buy the DVD
She every brave native has heart .
Norther56 Great Question. I Agree 💯.

Strong beautiful mature and free men, able to care, protect, educate and share, and feel a wide range of emotions. What a life and time it was. This video does look sad, but not more than the history behind it. Support to all who still keep that culture.
The only movie that ever managed to make me cry. This story is so touching and broke my heart just as much.
What a woman~brave doesn't come close to her magnificent way~born today she would be president☺🏛
I think Michael Greyeyes looks better and better with age?
yes he does.... ☺️😘😘
I remember him in a film where he was a lot younger.
I know this is going to be a painful yet beautiful movie so I was hesitating on watching it. Took me days after I watched this clip before deciding to watch it today. Now my eyes are swollen. It such a wonderful movie. I really hope that the government will give more rights, opportunities, lands, and respect to the natives. They deserve it from the very beginning and they deserve more.
I saw this film
I'm 50 years old
Is the greatest film I watched,
Incredible rroll performance everyone,
Thank youuuuuu
The one made this video is an artist. cause he/she was able to take a masterpice and turn it into another masterpiece.
I don't like to watch movies with sad endings, but I feel like I will miss out a life lesson if I won't. Thank you
That's very kind of you, Shelly.
@@alisakhodos7453 You are more than welcome :)
I have never heard of this movie before today.. Cannot wait to watch
I love the respect he have to her and his heart
The best movie I've seen in years. I guess Hollywood is just completely screwed up but they don't see what's really good
My sort of film.. Very easy on the eye like poetry
I know!
This is such a sad and beautiful story...racism is the worst. Both Sitting Bull and Catherine Weldon deserved to be together long term. Of course times were way worse back then for minorities and women who thought for themselves.
Yes,very sad and realistic
I was crying since 1/3 of the video. I'm so sad that the whole culture, so many tribes got destroyed like this 💔 and the worst is the mixed couples, people that are different in some way are still being attacked for it and there are still racist, misogynist, stupid people who believe they are better just because their skin is white 💔
There are racist, misogynist and stupid people of all color of skin.
I am a white woman and my heart breaks for what my ancestors did. My life and my heart doesn't reflect on their deeds. My heart and my life see no color. I see beauty in every culture and race.

I’ll check this one out, looks like a moving story and film, and besides my love, and appreciation of the Native American culture. I also like Jessica and I’ve “heard” of SittingBull. Looks absolutely heart touching...✨💚✨
I love Michael Greyeyes❤💚❤
What an absolutely beautiful man.
Get in line.
Me too
I claimed him first! He's all mine, ladies! 😊😊😊. LOL
So beautiful the connection they had.
Just this small segment makes me cry for their unspoken love.
Wonderful movie with fantastic performances. Well worth watching.
I've only recently discovered this film! Stunningly beautiful and completely heartbreaking. I've always been interested in Native American history and horses. This video is perfect, I love the chosen clips and the lovely music. Thank you from England x
I saw this movie over and over I absolutely loved it
What a hidden gem. Thanks.
Alisa, thank you so much for taking the time to put your recommendation of this movie on UA-cam. I was really moved and have sent your recommendation on to many many others. Thank you.
I am so glad to hear it. Best wishes to you 💕🥰
In his prime, Chief Sitting Bull, was the most feared Indian in America.
We're not called "Indians"
@@tallier6766
Really?
@@kathrynmolesa1641 Yes, we didn't come from India.
@@tallier6766
Native American then
@@tallier6766 much respect and love for your culture!
I like their sparing with each other and you cannot stop when two hearts listen to the call of love even although they spend a short time with each other in their eyes they saw forever
He's fine as hell!
My favorite edit of Catherine Weldon and Sitting Bull. Even tho it's low quality, but its true masterpiece ❤
Beautiful video! Thanks 😊
janeEyreAddict glad you liked it :)
It hurts me so much, what these beautiful people endured that I can't watch. It makes my soul feel torn apart.
Michael 🥰 He is a walking masterpiece!
This was an incredibly beautiful, sad movie.
Michael Greyeyes is an MAGNIFICENT Actor.
I Pray for the Native Americans.
Absolutely loved this movie.. he was such a great man... 💜
One of my N-Greats grandmothers was born in Indian Territory (Kansas I think) and was just a little girl while living in close proximity of where an Indian Uprising took place (as the history books named it).
I cant 💔💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭😭😭just those little clips made me break down wow
One of my favorite movies....a tragic love story.....
Watch Soldier Blue
Looks like a interesting movie to watch, Catherine looked like she really loved Sitting Bull and he in return.
Beautiful just beautiful
A captivating look at a beautiful moment in the life of someone ❤❤,thank you.
That was beautifully sad.
Very beautiful take on this. I love the editing and all of the whole presentation.
Such a sensitive film. And Michael was extraordinary.
Thank you for this lovely gift.
🪶🪶🪶🪶🪶🪶🪶🪶🪶
A beautiful story. Humans can be so cruel. And yet so kind. There are good humans even still.
So beautiful movie..with a real story...
dammit i wasn't prepared to cry today
I long for the time of my ancestors..the life that was simple and clean. One day...this will be again I hope.
Hi I am Taha from Egypt. I hope you will accept me to be your friend
When was it ever "simple" and "clean"?
Sarah some ancestors of white and black men had the same style of life of native Americans
im crying watching this...what am i gonna be like watching the whole movie.....
Jessica Chastain... incredible !
That was the trailer?! I was bawling at the end of it! Imagine watching the whole movie.
Robby 2k, oh dear. I hope I didn’t mislead viewers into thinking this is the film’s trailer. It is not, in fact, a trailer - more so a complication of moments. You should definitely watch the movie - it is well worth it!
@@alisakhodos7453 I definately like this movie. Thanks for encouraging me to watch it.
One of the most sensitive and moving films about the American West and the Native American Indians, and the artist Catherine Weldon who painted Sitting Bull.
Grate video, amazing movie. Thank you. God bless you.
This was such a beautiful movie
Michael Greyeyes he is one of my favorite! This looks good.
the music is also so very beautiful in that movie
One of my favorite movies!

What an amazing story! What a beautiful heat to heart soul to soul relationship! There is a fine Ojibwa man( who looks nothing like Michael Greyeyes) who has a beautiful soul..that I wish to be held by him as Chief Sitting Bull held Catherine.
I dy know if I could watch this movie all the way through. If be crying my eyes out. My husband n daughter are from the Modoc Tribe. Non of us are all "sensitive" over the past. My husband just says "that was then, this is now"
Sorry but this video makes me addict and makes me cry every time . The music behind is so bewitching. Stop .... Well, i'm gonna listen to Jakub Orlinski ! i love his voice ! Have a good day !
Definitely my favourite movie.
Native American Men I think are the only Men on Earth who You can truly use the word "Beautiful " to describe
A most remarkable story...
I am a Black Native American from Oklahoma... Seminole Creek... America had a chance to be more... It chose less
Powerful. Sad. True.
Sadly it ain't just America
I couldn't have said it any better!👍
Noble Lee. Fine words. Thanks for sharing.
Noble Lee Less is always easier.
I haven't seen the movie yet but I have watched this video so many times!😍 Their story is so beautiful and sad🥺
Gostaria de assistir esse filme. As interpretações me parecem perfeitas, o cenário é bonito e a história interessante. Só falta passar na TV brasileira!
Heartbreaking when he dies. 💔😢😭
I never heard of this movie or their story. I'm definitely going to watch it.
