Last of the Dogmen
: Berenger and Hershey give splendid performances in this odd and lovely little tale that strikes me as a kind of OF LOST HORIZONS meets DANCES WITH WOLVES. While the premise is rather far-fetched, I found it possible to suspend disbelief in the cause of the ideal: an authentic and spiritually infused alternative to the McWorld tragedy of Euro-American culture. The film has essentially the same message as James Hilton's novel, which I suspect was at least partially the inspiration for it.
I have this on VHS and now getting it on DVD. Ths film floped in the theaters, But everyone I have recommended it to have thought it a good movie. Yes it's ok for your kids, but as always preview it frist, your standards mabe tighter then mine.
Loved the story line, character development and scenery. This is a wonderful movie that I could watch over and over. The acting is great and the spirituality of this movie is quite moving.
THE GOOD THING AND THE BAD THING ABOUT FREE SPEECH IS THAT EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO HIS OWN OPINION REGARDLESS OF HOW ASSININE THE OPINION IS. LAST OF THE DOGMEN IS A MOVIE FOR EVERYONE WITH AVERAGE OR ABOVE AVERAGE INTELLIGENCE. PERHAPS THAT'S WHY MALTIN DIDN'T LIKE IT. HE PROBABLY THINKS THAT WILLY WONKA'S CHOCOLATE FACTORY WAS THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE!
I watch this every time it comes around on cable. The sub-plot is a wonderfully subtle love story, but you know it's going to happen. The main theme is about two unlikely people teaming up to search for a "lost tribe," each for their own reasons. The scenery is magnificent, the characters are perfectly matched, even the dog is great. Don't miss this movie.
