Should be named 'Ohiyesa'


Regardless of its merits (or lack of it) this movie should be named "Ohiyesa", it is no more based on "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" than any other book that deals with the massacre of WK. It starts with Ohiyesa, it ends with Ohiyesa. And we can say there's a subplot with Sitting Bull (and Red Cloud) to show the sioux nation, but it definitely is a biopic on the great sioux man christianized as Charles Eastman. The name chosen is poetic, but does not make justice either to the original book, nor to the contents of the movie.
