Good movie, raw + great soundtrack!

Yeah, this movie was a good one! It is not normally the type of thing that I watch, but I enjoy movies about different topics sometimes, and I also appreciate Native American culture too. Once I made it past the first song on the soundtrack, that is playing on the pickup truck's radio, the music set the tone for the rest of the film! What I like best about the music is the raw honesty in the music - the simple truth of feeling expressed by the poetry was also refreshing. I also liked the way the songs in the soundtrack were produced. There was a raw element to just the guitar and the vocal on several tracks, with EQ and compression that brought out the rawness and beauty of the instruments! Also, there were nice instrumental sections that had a similar sound! This movie was from the heart. It took some time for it to develop, but there was a sort of reality to this movie that made it seem like it was a real event, remembered the way it really happened. I don't know where the story came from, but it was quite well done. What I like the best about it is that it is sincere, in a way that usually only a play is able to be. There were parts that made me uncomfortable. But I think that is because you really get to live under the hood with all of the characters.
