Problem with the streaming services ...


I have been looking through all the new movies and found it very hard to find a movie I am interested in. There are so few real story movies like this one. So many movies are Science Fiction, or Supernatural, or Time Travel or even Super Hero movies. Why?

I generally like Science Fiction movies, but there are so many of the same thing. I wanted to watch a story about people, and this one looked interesting, particularly because of the whole controversy about Native Americans, and how our society has handled them. I was hoping this was not a Cowboys good, Indians bad movie because even today those who have the luxury of living a hunter-gatherer lifestyle are healthier and happier than most of us, and they also live in harmony with the environment. But that has emerged as a very threatening meme to many Americans. So, how does this movie work it?

I wanted to find out, but to view this on Amazon is $20.00 I get it, the studios don't want to lose the box office revenue, but the whole country is under quarantine, and they make more money if moviegoers risk killing themselves to see their movies. That seems wrong to me.

I agree. They are worried more than one set of eyes will see it for the price of one ticket, when in fact most rentals are one or two people watching. $10 would be fair, especially for a one and done viewing. For $20 (or more on some films) I'd better be able to keep it.

If it wasn't a pandemic I guess I'd have to sell a bunch of $3 dollar tickets! ;-)
