PLN week 3-1

I read an article that tells you about one newly released movie , 3:10 to Yuma and a movie called A Face in the Crowd. The article Two Great Movies by Dave reminded me about how much I like to watch movies and how I haven't seen a new movie in a long time. I have heard from other people that 3:10 to Yuma was a pretty good movie, my mom watched it but didn't have much to say, I have never heard of the movie A Face in the Crowd.

I bet I could really relate to what the movie 3:10 to Yuma was about. I grew up in kind of a westernized place, where there were horses, dirt, no water, dry place, so I know all about the west. I hope to see it, but I promised my self I wouldn't because my stepdad Shawn is i in the movie, but I would barely call it being in there, he is kind of big headed when it comes to this kind of stuff, so there are somethings I just don't support him in.

Sometimes in movies they show the side of things that are not real or true about what the movie is about. It is cool how Dave said that the movie wasn't one of the those kinds of movies because I think it just runes the whole movie when you know about the setting and they completely are off course and makes everyone think that that is how that type of place is. Like movies with Indians in them, I am Navajo and the movies that I have watched make it seem like all we do is dance around fires, we all ride horses, and we all wear braids. We are totally different from what the movies show, we don't dance around fires, not all of us wear braids, I know a lot of people who haven't even rode a horse before. Yeah we do have are tradition, but it is not the kind that you see on T.V. and movies.

It is kind of funny how people think that we actually are like that. There is a kind of traditional thing called a Pow wow that I go to a lot, it is not just for us Native Americans, there are also other people with other ethnicies that go to. When you talk to those people, because a pow wow is kind of a social gathering for natives, they tell you that they expected all of us to be half naked and to dance around a fire, but no there are some dancers and singers, but they don't dance naked and there is no fire involved. Those are my thoughts on Two Great movies.
