Unbowed Trailers

This movie challenges ones mind to see racism from another perspective. It forces the issue of racism not on a black/white side of things, but an African American and Indian proportionally view.

I really thought the moving was good. It is a movie that can teach a person about love. Love of fellow man and about loving another person regardless of what back ground or race you are from. It is what this world needs. It is about tolerance of other races. It is about sacrifices. The actors were really good. You really felt you were there back in that time period and felt how those people felt. It made me want a relationship like the two main characters had. That was real love. Everyone should try and see this movie. I saw it on cable on the Western channel last year. I hope it will come to DVD real soon. I would like to have it in my movie collection. And Ray Tavare is truly a hunk!

I truly liked this movie and the actors involved with it. I believe that they each gave very strong and believable performances. I would like to know however, if the movie is based on an actual account. Is there more to the story than what we've been shown? It made me think of the outcome for the two lovers as well as the ones left behind. It would be satisfying to know if this has a further story to tell. Thanks for presenting this little piece of history it was enjoyable to watch and place yourself in the place of the characters. Both of the main characters were strong and I felt their passion as well as their search for one another. I hope they made it!

This movie challenges ones mind to see racism from another perspective. It forces the issue of racism not on a black/white side of things, but an African American and Indian proportionally view.Both having the same feelings, both having two sides of understanding life, its balance for the future, and its weight on the past. Both predilection of learning what it means to be a citizen in a country bent on prejudice. Both facing prejudice from within the confines of the college they attend.An African American woman must learn to surpass the boundaries of those in her presence to accept the love whom she teaches. Her many admirers surround her in protection of her innocence one of whom she is engaged.A young Indian Chief must confront his own prejudices and those around him to find freedom among the free who persecute him because of his savage nature.Escape could lead to death. Will she follow him and leave behind all she had gained for the love of a savage and face unknown obstacles?The element of emotion between these two will absolutely stir you. the feeling of anger and hostility will ignite you. You'll fall in love with these two! Exceptional and very tastefully moving on both sides of the divide!!!!!Very Highly Recommended!!!!!!!!

Jay Tavare's role as Waka Mani was played as if he were "born to it". Tembi Locke's portrayal as Cleola was fabulous. The combination of Jay & Tembi was beautiful. The other actors were cast precisely and "hats off" to the casting director for taking the time to hand pick each actor.Although it is considered a western, Unbowed is much more than that. It is a story about pre-prejudices, racism that exist between two minority groups, acceptance and learning to work together towards a common goal and most of all it is a story of love. Love has no color. I highly recommend this movie.
