Its about time someone produced a film like this! I’m looking forward to watching this documentary that makes its premiere on the big screen this Friday February 19th, 2010 in Vancouver (Tinseltown) and Toronto (AMC Yonge & Dundas). Cree filmmaker Neil Diamond takes an entertaining and insightful look at the Hollywood Indian, exploring the portrayal of North American Natives through a century of cinema. Travelling through the heartland of America, Diamond looks at how the myth of “the Injun” has influenced the world’s understanding – and misunderstanding – of Natives.

With clips from hundreds of classic and recent films, and candid interviews with celebrated Native and non-Native directors, writers, actors and activists, including Clint Eastwood, Robbie Robertson, Sacheen Littlefeather, John Trudell and Russell Means, Reel Injun traces the evolution of cinema’s depiction of Native people from the silent film era to today, only to find the future of Native cinema in the unlikeliest of places – Canada’s North.

Reel Injun was produced by Ernest Webb, Catherine Bainbridge, Christina Fon and Linda Ludwick (Rezolution Pictures International) and Adam Symansky (NFB).

I don’t know about your family, but in my family we are always quoting lines from tons and tons of movies. Sometimes I forget what line that movie was from or vice-versa. Famous movie quotes by Chevy Chase for example. “Burn some dust here, Eat my rubber”. Now there is a new site totally dedicated to movie clips and quotes. Check it out sometime. www.movieclips.com
