Movie Review

“End of the Spear”

Promoting and perpetrating all the old stereotypes and racism inflicted upon Indigenous Red Nations and Peoples, this poorly acted film “set back Indian/White relations 40 years” (to paraphrase the racist statements permeating in the media when “O.J” was freed as the blacks jumped up and down in glee [having witnessed first hands their entire life corrupted cops and a racist system] and whites held their hands to their faces and cried – wishing death upon the African who dared capture the beautiful blonde white girl).
It was SO LUCKY the white people and their great religion SAVED the savage Indians from themselves with the great awareness that there WAS A GOD (dumb Indians, anyway). Now we learn that it was ENTIRE white families that saved the Indians and settle this land (THANK GOD).
The story fails to mention any corruption that such a group would have had (if they had really existed nearly that way) from contact with the “Pyramid Hierarchy First Wave.” This pre-columbus wave 5,000 years ago by mideastern/Egyptian sailors delivered unto central america, enslaving and building pyramids and male-dominating systems until finally repelled by the oppressed, fed-up red people who then left the pyramids to cover over with growth. They had it extra bad down there because they got a second wave from the spanish conquistadors. A simple note of this fact would have helped greatly, instead, the large xtian crowds in attendance (urged by their preachers to attend and see that their way IS right and legit) left just as confused as when they entered.
One scene showed that the Indian “leader” (although with freedom that was enjoyed before columbus - no murder, fences, chiefs) saw angels come to take the missionary he just killed, and the Indian would later cut off his hair and “admit” the “white, christian way” was best to the missionary’s grown son – who did NOT take revenge upon his father’s killer (such a great tribute to the good white people and their “forgiveness” [bad Indians!]).The movie would be excellent for missionary and religious fanatics looking for reinforcement in this time of awareness when their fantasical beliefs often seem so ridiculous to so many toady. I suppose some xtianized Indians might feel better also (there are some still caught up in the lies that Red People came from Africa, via Siberia as cavemen – dragging their women all the way by the hair (an actual scene in the movie!).
