Only a revered silence is eloquent enough to describe this

I think words are an inadequate praise for this amazing and gorgeous short film. The silent communication between Jason London and Joseph Saul in this film is absolutely breathtaking. I had to just sit and think for about an hour after watching. I did not want to move or speak. It was beautiful and touching and brings tears to your eyes. The behind the scenes film was actually longer than the movie, and was packed with information on all the hard work and skill that went into making this movie. It was really impressive! I was totally astounded that it was made in only a week and on a low budget. I am in awe of Joseph Saul who played Goes Alone,and Jason London was sublime!(as usual) Gabe Torres is an artist beyond compare!

Why this incredible and moving picture did not receive the Acadamy Award for short film is beyond me!!!!!!

Super Awesome

I love the way this showed that compassion could be for others, and that even if it does cost you in the long run you stick up for whats right. In so many of the Westerns the Indians were always made out to be the bad guys with no compassion. This shows a different side with that Lakota boy, Goes along. I give this two Huge Thumbs up. I remember when I was in school the most that was ever taught to us about the Native Americans was The First Thanksgiving. Since I have read Material from the Native Americans side of that I think they need to tell it like was from both sides. This is an Awesome Movie, I recommend it to everyone.

Last Stand

I would highly recommend "Last stand" to anyone with an interest in the Indian wars. This is an excellent story brilliantly created on film about the clashing of two cultures.The Indian boy lets you know how his people felt about the white invaders through his facial expression in what is brilliant acting.This is a must see, and for this film to be made in one week and on a shoe string budget is a credit to the whole cast.This film is a must for any Western buff, get it you will not be disappointed.The main character in this short film plays the part to perfection and the closing scene is very well created. The detail concerning Indian costume and war paint is very well researched as is the Cavalary uniforms and weapons a really brilliant film and not to be missed.

A must-have treasure in every DVD collection !!!!

I came to the "Last stand" website by coincidence, and I am really more than glad, that I found this website - I ordered the DVD "Last stand" and I was more than enthusiastic about this movie!! It's an outstanding, touching and marvelous work from Gabe Torres, the actors are incredible gorgeous. The story is marvelous and touching, and the message of the film is so important and wonderful. Jason London is simply perfect in this role, and absolutely amazing is Jospeh Saul, the Indian boy, who really is a wonderful actor indeed. I will do the best I can to spread the word about this film here in Germany too, about this great DVD, which is really worth to be bought, it should be a part of every DVD collection, in my DVD collection it is absolutely the greatest treasure - because you would never believe, what wonderful experience you can make with a film of 23 minutes. Absolutely fantastic work,if I would have to decide, to give away all my other DVD's in order to keep my "Last stand" DVD - I certainly would give away them - as I would never give away "Last stand"!!!!!

The best what you can do is, to go and order this DVD !!! Otherwise you will miss an outstanding work - which is hard to find nowadays... Simply fantastic Gabe, Jason and Jospeh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great, impressing DVD

I have seen this film, which recommended a friend to me, and I can only say: A great film, a great story, great actors and a great message. My friend was right. Congratulations on this film for everybody who worked on this film, especially for Gabe Torres!My friend want to make this film popular here too and of course I will also tell my friends about this film which is great work. This film has got only little dialogue, so it is perfect for all countries all over the world - its message can be understood everywhere. The film lives from the intense playing of the wonderful actors and the characters who must learn to understand each other without understanding the language of the other and of the great story.

This film spimply has to be ordered!
