The Indian

I have been waiting so long to see The Indian again since the Palm Beach International Film Festival. I am so happy that it finally came out on DVD. It is just as wonderful as I remember it. It's simple, it's honest, it's moving and it works. My favorite performance is by Sal Landi. I can really see how he changes during the story and comes to some peace by the end. I am happy that he was able to give some great words of advice to his son to help him. Matt Dallas is a very good visual performer, with his facial expressions and body language. Sometimes you don't need a lot of words to get the message across. He is believable. You really want them to care about each other; they need each other and have very little time.

I think that Mr. Gorrie did a terrific job with his first movie! I hope that many, many more people finally get to see it! And I know that he worked so hard to find a distributer. Perhaps one day, he will make another one so that we can add it to our collection of beloved movies along with The Indian.

After reading about this movie in the Orange County Register, I knew I had to go see it ant the Newport Beach Film Festival.

It's a cleverly crafted and soul touching story of a young man and his father. His Father returns to the young man's life after abandonment, but solely for selfish (although desperate) reasons.

The on going changes of all the characters are paced perfectly with some nice unpredictable twists and finale.

Quite an accomplishment for a first time director and producer. Hopefeully this picture will find a distributor so Mr. Gurrie can quit his day job and be able to work full time on some additional gems.

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+

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.

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.
