5.0 out of 5 stars
Well worth watching, December 29, 2000
This review is from: Crazy Horse [VHS] (VHS Tape)
A wonderfull movie! Attention to detail, for example some of the statements made by Crazy Horse and Custer, period costume and battles. It is interesting to note that Custer had cut his hair before the battle of the Little Big Horn, which appears to be the only movie to portray this accurately. Custer dies somewhere during the battle and not in the 'classic' back to back end of the battle senario as is popularly portrayed in the 'hero' literature.
Red Cloud and Spotted Tail are portrayed in a rather negative light. I am not convinced that this is accurate. Sitting Bull hardly gets a mention although it is a fact that he was the major role player at the time.
I will watch this film again and again

Crazy Horse, A Warrior I Honor !!, February 8, 2002
This review is from: Crazy Horse [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is a really great movie and by far the truest of all movies that I've seen for the Custer battle. Crazy Horse is my hero and I still study a great deal of him and the Lakota/Sioux tribe.
I have watched this movie many times and always enjoy watching it, I have also read the book by Sandoz of Crazy Horse. They both are very similar to all the battles, life and trials of Crazy Horse. I wish I could of rode along side of Crazy Horse during these battles.
I highly recommend this movie to everyone who wants the clearest knowledge of what really happened. I have finally found this movie with Amazon.com's help, and I am a proud owner to own this movie even though the price of it was a little much.
I think it is highly worth every cent, and I hope everyone that buy's this movie and or has seen it enjoys this movie as much as I have myself.
History is a virtue and this event was inevitable, What happen to Custer, he deserved! And it wasn't in anyway fair what happen to Crazy Horse, but history has played it's part here and can't be replaced. I respect that this film was made carefully, especially at the time Custer was shot the first and second time killing him, because no one knows for sure whom it was that killed Custer, but Crazy Horse was blamed, and Crazy Horse paid the price for Custer's death along with the USA's Calvery. Like I said, they deserved what they got and thats the way life goes.
Michael Greyeyes as well as Wes Studi played excellent roles for Crazy Horse and Red Cloud, Along with all the other characters that played their parts as Spotted Tail, Sitting Bull, Black Shall, Black Buffalo Woman, Little Big Man, as well as Custer too.
Great movie and a must see !!

Crazy Horse - Spirit Lives On, September 28, 2000
This review is from: Crazy Horse [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I would recommend this movie to anyone who's interested in Native American History. This is much more interesting than the basic biography format, which is much to rigid. This movie depicts the humane side which portrays Crazy Horse not only as a Sioux Warrior, but as a man of great intellect, thought, and wisdom. Although, his life was short and tragic, he remains forever, a legend immortalized.
