This is a really amazing movie on many different levels. In 1970 people were trying to become more realistic in movies regarding Cowboys and Indians to show more how things actually were in those times. In some ways this was almost like a Forrest Gump movie in some ways in it's time. Jack Crab is raised after his parents are killed by Indians by a different Indian Tribe than killed his parents. This changes his life in many ways because he becomes of two different cultures. At the time this movie was made I identified a lot with Jack Crab regarding the traumas of life we all face one way or another. This movie greatly helped me on my spiritual and religious path and helped me become a different person than I was before watching this movie.
You can watch this movie for free if you have Amazon Prime Streaming by the way. I'm watching it there right now.
