Rating:  - This movie is a disgrace
Those of you who like this movie probably have not read the book.This movie makes a mockery of the book and the characters in the movie are laughable.
This movie does NO justice to the book.They left out important facts, did you know Mary had another son that they decided wasn't important enough to even mention.He ended up dying when she left him with the Indians.They also didn't do justice to the attack on the village in the beginning of the movie when her sister-in-laws baby ...

Rating:  - Eric Schweig Saves the Movie
This politically-correct slaughter of a true story portrays Indian captors (supposedly the bad guys) as the more likeable characters; while on the other hand, I had a hard time sympathizing with the charmless protagonist--a white woman who all too readily gives up her child in order to go to a husband who seems hardly worth the effort.

Rating:  - An American Hero
If this movie generates any interest you should read the book.The story (based on fact) is one of the very best historical novelsI've ever been exposed to ... a real life depiction of the frontier and the challenges and experiences of an incredibly courageous and tenacious and determined woman.
This is very very special!
Rating: - Disappointing
Mary Ingals, her kids, and sister gets nabbed by the Shawnee. Eventually she finds her way out of the village and embarks on a long wilderness journey back home.
I've got some problems with this movie. It basically treats the Indians as brutish savages, complete with a broken-hearted Shawnee Indian brave who swipes Mary's kids in a fit of jealous rage. I was almost expecting the producers to wheel out a piece of Samsonite luggage for him to swing around and smash. Not to say that the Brave ... Read More
