Review of War Party

War Party (1988)
9/10
Proud Blackfeet warriors not giving in to white oppression
28 December 2003
The reason why I gave the film "War Party" a 7 out of 10 was because of how the Native Americans were portrayed. Although it was an all round good film, there would never be a major manhunt for the youngsters who flee a battle re-enactment after it turns violent. The point is the whole problem wouldn't have happened in the 1st place if whites in general were alot more understanding and compassionate of the Native ways (in this case the Blackfoot ways). Racism towards the Indians was the whole underlying theme to this film and the constant friction that existed in it. Its just something that hasn't changed in all these mega years. The unfortunate reality is that the only way that there will ever be any real peace and co-existence is if white society as a whole truly takes the time and willingness to educate themselves properly about Native Americans.

But....... ANYWAYS......... thanks for allowing me to give my review on this film.... take care and I look forward to giving a new review on a different Native film. :D
