I found this film to be quite sad since it tugs away at your heart strings, especially when the bear killed that black dog by accident. I don't think the bear was purposely trying to hurt him because it appeared that the dog was more aggressive. The bear was just trying to evade him. But anyway, I think the whole point to this film is that friendships are very powerful if both parties really care for one another like the way Fish Hawk and Corby did. I feel that Fish Hawk was like a second father figure to Corby. Too many times people take friendships for granted and as a result of it, many friendships never last long. I know this from personal, first-hand experience.
But the real sad part of this story is when the lady of the house went behind Fish Hawk's back to make racist remarks! It was not only her. It was also the family's friends who made racist comments such as the visiting doctor who had no right to say the things he said. All the other family friends tried forcing alcohol down Fish Hawk's throat but he stood his ground and told them all to just back off. In the end, Fish Hawk was the class act, as is the case with many Natives today, they're all class act people because they will take anyone in if you ever need them and their help. Anyway, this is my reasoning as to why this film gets an 8 out of 10.
