The Indian

I recently saw this film at the Newport Beach Film Festival and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Despite arriving almost 30 minutes early on a Sunday evening, the place was packed and we were lucky to find two seats in the third row. This is a very touching story that made us both laugh and cry. The acting was fantastic, and although this was the first I had ever seen of Matt Dallas, I expect he will be the next big heart throb. I highly recommend this film and only wish we had brought my teenage son to see it. This is a movie that can be appreciated by all age groups, young to old. I hope to have the opportunity to see this movie again soon in the theaters!

When I sat down in the theater at the Newport Beach Film Festival to watch "The Indian", I really didn't quite know what to expect. After a few minutes into the movie, though, it became quite evident that this movie was indeed special. It was quite refreshing to experience the unfolding of a story that addresses issues and sends a message that, I believe, many people can relate to in their own lives. The manner in which the film was shot made the characters and their lives quite believable and "Real". I must say that I truly enjoyed the film and I would love to see it again if the opportunity arises.

This is what I wrote to Mr Gorrie Dear Mr. Gorrie.

I just watched this movie and I have to say it is one of the finest movies I have ever watched. The cast was wonderful and the story really touched my spirit. I hope to see more great films from you in the future, With all the drip and dribble on the movie screen these day's I really enjoyed seeing a REAL movie, that is to say one with a plot,a message, and some real emotions. I also enjoyed the extras that were included in the DVD, it was fun watching the actors rehearse their parts and it was interesting to see how it got developed. Thank you for your persistence in getting this film on DVD, I know I will watch it for years to come.

I was fortunate enough to see this film recently at the Newport Beach Film Festival. The theater was almost filled to capacity even though it was shown on a late Sunday evening. Fans of Mr. Dallas had written glowing reviews of his performance and I was anxious to see it for myself. My expectations were high and, I am very happy to say, they were fully met by this wonderful film. It is a moving story of a broken relationship between a father and son. The use of an Indian motorcycle to help mend that relationship was identifiable with both genders viewing the film. The cast of seasoned veteran actors along with up and coming young stars also lend to the broad appeal of the film. The moving story brought me to tears with it's conclusion. I left the theater knowing I had just seen that rare film that touches all that see it. It was well worth the 1400 miles I traveled from my home to the NBFF. I would do it again tomorrow to see this film. I hope that someone will pick up this film for national distribution so that others can have a chance to share in this experience.

When I read in the Orange County Register that "The Indian" was to be featured at the Newport Beach Film Festival, I cleared my schedule and spread the news! I was fortunate enough to view this outstanding movie at the LA Film Featival and it was so powerful and moving that I wanted to see it again. I wasn't surprised to find a full theater. This movie is a thought provoking, heart warming look into the hearts of broken people. The story is so beautifully told. It was wonderful seeing a movie that wasn't full of fowl language and sexual innuendo. This movie should be seen by the masses. Congratulations to James Gorrie and his group of talented actors. This is a 10+
