I Heard The Owl Call My Name Full Movie

[@nancyseheult3987]

Thank you so much. The owl visited my mom several weeks ago. We caught her talking to it before the surgery that brought her decline.God rest her soul. She loved the Lakota, although she was a white school teacher - she knew and loved them. I am grateful.

This story has played an important part in my life. At age 68, this is the third time in my lifetime that I have watched the film and the second time I have read the book. I will be reading that again this week. Somehow it has always remained in my heart and in my thoughts. As the years pass, the significance grows greater. Living in the United States all my life, I have not understood living and dying in the way this story makes it so desirous. As he replied, when Mark asked the Indian his name, "My name is the village," each and every part of the village was the name of all the inhabitants figuratively. What a unified life with others. Something we seem to grow further and further away from. The first time I experienced this was in the 60's. I graduated in 1967, the second time I must have been in my thirties or forties. Thank you for refreshing me through the years so that I can pass with the peace of this unified, connected feeling with the oneness of all of God's creation.

[@NeillMikha]

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! From this story I learned how working harder makes me live longer.

Aunt Cathy, I just watched this movie. So beautiful ! Thank you for sharing it with my boys.

One of the most beautiful books I've ever read. Have just returned from vacation in Western Canada and recommended it to several of my travelling companions.

[@alaskaboytheoriginal]

As a 70's child, I remember growing up in small community and this was similar. I am Alaska Native and the people in this movie remind me of my parents and family in the early 70's. For those of you who don't know, this is a small Native Canadian village on the Northwest coast of Canada, probably not too far from Vancouver British Columbia. In the early 70's the Native communities were very small and very dependent on the churches and schools for social interaction. This movie is quite a bit smaller than where I grew up, but I saw villages like this. Sadly, it's taken Canada longer to come around to respecting the Canadian Native Sovereign Nations, just recently they are finally finding back the roots form many many generations. The VHS version (only version available) was in pretty poor shape but thankfully OKOK GG did a beautiful job of restoring it and probably better than the original. I am thankful for the chance to watch this in better than the original format. God bless you and thank you for posting this movie. You are truly a fine person for doing this.

[@NeillMikha]

Alaska Boy I am very happy to have your comment on my video as someone experienced the real life of this movie. I am Iraqi Chaldean and my land was taken by Muslims invasion. Recently we were kicked off our cities. This video teaches a little of what native people experienced in their land.

[@georgeredhawk1996]

I'm 57 . I saw this movie when I was 12 or 13 . I read the book 14 years ago . The book is dynamite . It's about acceptance . It like Sarte , Tragedy is inevitable , it will happen to everyone . It is the essence and mechanism of life. I've been to British Columbia . It's beautiful , you learn respect for nature . There are bears and mountain lions that hunt people and aren 't afraid of us at all . It's easy to get lost in the bush . Cheers.

A touching movie of the native people and a priest who finds his life again. Money and gold means nothing to these people except when they can give them away. Thanks for loading this movie from very northern part of Finland.

[@NeillMikha]

Yes it’s touching movie and you are absolutely right. Money and gold are nothing compare to our relations with people around us and the way we help one another.

[@neaituppi7306]

As a native, I have heard that One flew over the cuckoos nest was the first movie to show a native person in a realistic light, but this movie was before that, and far more levels.

[@692ALBANNACH]

A newer movie that is a realistic portrayal of natives is Songs My Brothers Taught Me. It is directed by Chloe Zhao. It was her first movie she directed. She directed Nomadland.

Same with me. I saw this film 30 years ago and never forgot it . Bought the book soon afterwards which still sits on my bookcase.

The story touched me and I felt as I am living it when I was reading the book. I liked more when I saw the movie. I couldn’t find it online but I bought the movie and uploaded it to be available to everyone.

[@patriot52realfinn22]

Very touching movie about humanity. Indian wisdom lives in this movie very powerful and strong.. It has message to us living 2020. I ammwhite man and I had to leave my the village where I was born because new people came there without any respect to our own culture. Tourists came and conquered my village.. I left my village which had been my home almost 50 years. I can't see my home village anymore. I left my home and now I am alone. People from south came and told us how we should live. As Jim described his village I think same way and my memories live in the wind, sky. and fells. They will stay in my mind for ever. Thanks for this movie and regards from Finnish Lapland

Hi Fatima, English is my second language and I was learning English when I read the story. It is real life novel and I learned many good things out of it.

Christopher: And thank you for your very real and beautiful words. I just now watched the film for a second time, so haunting, had the same emotions as I did as a teen. This is one film that is even better than Craven’s book, solely because of Tom Courtenay’s performance. Truly stellar acting.

the book is dynamite . It's about acceptance . It's like Sarte . Tragedy is inevitable . It's going to happen to everybody . It's the essence and the mechanism of human existence .

[@southernlady5085]

I would respectfully disagree on Sartre. Sartre, as an existentialist, is fatalistic (“No Exit” illustrates this well); pessimistic; with precious little if any hope. This movie, as does the Christian faith, teaches that death is a part of life. It’s not something to be feared. In both First Nation/ Native American thought and In Christianity, it leads to something greater than self. In Christianity, to eternal life in Christ, in First Nation thought one returns to the earth, and is part of the eternal cycle of nature. Both beautiful.

Thank you for this. My husband introduced me to it many years ago- through all the times I have seen this I remain deeply touched.

bit rude

[@hezkyden]

@ 57.45, Spencer, ' Can your sacraments compete with theirs?' Priest, ' They don't have to, Spencer'. No, that's right. Roman Catholicism is famous for its synchronistic practices. As a result, it's neither Biblical Christianity, nor is it completely pagan.

[@NeillMikha]

Brother, this story is fiction and it has nothing to do with religion... the theme of the story is completely different.

[@hezkyden]

I don't know you and you don't know me so why call me, 'brother?' And I think a strong current of the film is about religion. In the film, the Indians have their own culture and religion which binds them together and the white priest brings his 'white man's' religion in the form of Roman Catholicism and education which is perceived as being destructive of the Native culture. In the end, the priest comes to appreciate their ways and accepts and even adopts ( and therefore syncronizes) some of their beliefs into his own way of thinking. Classic Catholic thinking-and wrong. '' What hath the temple of God to do with idols?''

[@NeillMikha]

I call you brother in humanity!! You don't have to take it literally. The story is not about religion.. again you need to read the book....

[@alaskaboytheoriginal]

To Mark: Oh, brother!!!! Can't you just enjoy a nice story? I think you need to read the book to get the full meaning of this movie. But it's much more than you perceive than the oppression of the Catholics on missions.

[@hezkyden]

You are just repeating what OKOK GG wrote. BTW, it's not a 'nice story', for me. It's full of false ideas about religious belief and truth. Can't you just enjoy your 'nice story', if you think that's what it is, without feeling the need to reply to my comment? No? Well, that's exactly how I feel about this film and why I wanted to express my feeling about it. Why do people get so proprietorial about films or books they happen to like?

[@zthetha]

It should not be necessary to read the book before one sees the film on which it is based. I have only done this once and was inevitably disappointed by how much - of necessity - the film left out. A film stands or falls on its own merits. Tom Courtney had a remarkable screen presence - vulnerable and fragile almost to the point of nervous breakdown. Had he known this film would have turned out this bad I doubt he would have accepted the role. The land and seascape scenes are by far the best part of the movie and the music soundtrack by far the worst. The plot - if that is the word - is nauseatingly sentimental but if that disgusting flutist plays Amazing Grace once more I shall seek him out and ram the flute up his flatulent arse. The only conclusion I can draw is that this is an amateur film - the acting is stilted and the childish dialogue is frequently drowned out by extraneous noises. It is very possibly the worst film I have ever seen - worse even than Losey's The Assassination of Trotsky.

[@NeillMikha]

willie otoole from your perspective, that is how it is

[@alaskaboytheoriginal]

I read the book also but I think this movie did a good job given the time restraints. And don't forget, before it was popular to be "Native" this was one of the early movies to bring to the forefront the struggle and awareness of indigenous people. Good job OKOK GG!
