I enjoyed this movie. Green and John Vought are some of my favorites. Great actors. While educating on the life and times of our Native American brothers and sisters, I can't help but feel a deep sadness and shame of the treatment and trials endured from others. However there has never been another people who have protect our lands and loved nature as much. Buy the movie, it is one of those that you can watch over and over again.
Everyone needs to watch this movie it is relevant today it shows how much we are alike as humans and the beauty in everyone no matter there color or religion and how much we can learn from each other this is one of Graham Greene's best movies except maybe thunderheart Jon Voight. was really good to thanks

Though the movie was entertaining, I would suggest reading the book 'ISHI THE LAST OF HIS TRIBE ' and 'ISHI IN TWO WORLDS ' both by Theodora Kroeber. The first detailing much of how he and his family lived day to day, and the second book recounts his days after walking into the world of the 'Saldu'(whiteman) that day in 1911.

I had just finished the book: Ishi, The Last of His Tribe, so of course there was comparison. The book goes into more of the emotional detail and factual events than the movie, and the movie cuts to the chase on events but stays true to the story. The movie has some graphic scenes (autopsies, scalping). Graham Greene is great as Ishi and it is an interesting story. Good historical piece. I would recommend both the book and movie.
Not sure how historically correct it is, but it is entertaining and emotional.

I'm an Archeological-Ethnographic-Anthropologist and the movie was fairly close to how these studies happened in the early part of the 20th Century. Good acting and understanding of the Native American aspect of treatment by Graham Green and John Voight. Recommend to anyone that wants to see the aspect and social treatment of the first Americans,their treatment and the attitude regarding their rightfull place in humanity and honor as a people.
I had heard the story of ishi and never knew there was a movie out about him. the story is based on the actual ishi and gram green does awesome in this movie about him. anyone who has been a flintknapper (makes arrowheads) knows what a ishi stick is and most know his story. altho he did not demenos. flintknapping in the movie it is a great movie
I bought this DVD because of the title. This is a good movie it kind of shows the difference between the Indians and the white man as well as how the Indians were treated.I think it is a good family DVD and it leaves you thinking of the way the Indian was treated.
I saw this movie on television when it first came out. It's based on a true life happening. I hadn't seen or heard about it since I saw it on T.V. but I was impressed with it then so I decided to but it.
