    CLIP DESCRIPTION:
    Victor (Adam Beach) shows Thomas (Evan Adams) how to be a real Indian.
    FILM DESCRIPTION:
    This dramatic feature was written, directed, and co-produced by Native Americans. Native American writer Sherman Alexie scripted this adaptation of his 1993 short story collection The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven. Director Chris Eyre's previous short Someone Kept Saying Powwow is incorporated into the 88-minute feature. Developed at the Sundance Lab in 1995, the film was a winner of both the Audience Award and the Filmmakers' Trophy at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival. In 1976, an infant survives a fire that kills his parents. In a flash forward to the present day, the infant has grown up to become the skinny, nerdy adult Thomas (Evan Adams). At Idaho's desolate Coeur d'Alene Indian reservation, the overeager youth is mostly ignored by others, including stoic athletic Victor Joseph (Adam Beach), even though it was Victor's father, alcoholic Arnold Joseph (Gary Farmer), who saved the infant Thomas' life in the fire. A drunken Arnold later abandoned his family, and Victor hasn't seen his father in a decade. When Victor learns of Arnold's death in Phoenix, Thomas offers to pay for the trip to Phoenix if he can accompany Victor. They make an odd couple since Victor is embarrassed by Thomas' geekiness. In Phoenix, they find that Arnold lived in a small trailer in the desert, and they meet Arnold's friend Suzy Song (Irene Bedard), who provides disturbing truths about Arnold that impact on Victor.

    Thomas is a everyday Indian, loves our history, we were born on stories, Victor is the very picture of a generation that lost there history. Because people place and things people in the past place that took away history of him and things that keep reminding him of it.. but yet still love this movie because they bring humor to it like our people

      Those glasses weren’t cool back in the 90’s. Glasses in general weren’t considered cool but nerdy. And nerdy was considered the opposite of cool. Most trendy people back then who wore glasses opted for thin rectangular and elliptical frames or frameless and rimless ones.

I recall the other two I was juggling where Anne Rice novels). Anyway, I loved it and ended up with a crush on Sherman Alexie based solo on his author photo and his writings.
