The first time I saw this movie, I was struck mostly by how worthy fun it was to examine. There is an offbeat, good-natured humour that softens the harshness of some of the settings and situations. (Grand of the music is beautiful–it’s by Robbie Robertson but he’s not mentioned for it in the credits.) The yarn line is well-developed, with salubrious transitions between two converging sub-plots. The basic set is quite simple: two friends, Philbert Bono (Gary Farmer) and Buddy RedBow (A Martinez) consume off on a road bound from a Montana Indian reservation to Recent Mexico in order to collect RedBow’s sister out of jail. Along the arrangement they make a friendship, despite differences in personality and ways of looking at life.

Upon the second viewing, it became obvious to me that considerable of what divides them in the beginning has to do with different styles of being or becoming a “warrior.” Redbow is a Vietnam vet, as well as an activist who had been prove at the Wounded Knee conflict. He has a lot of madden about the depredations of white people as well as, I suspect, his Vietnam experience. His view of carrying out a campaign has to do with fighting, guns, and discharging rage.
Philbert Bono, on the other hand, has never seen any combat action. He’s a still sort and regarded by others as an overweight buffoon. However, he’s on a spiritual quest to rep power and become a spiritual warrior. His thought of carrying out a campaign has to do with getting the universal forces on his side.

By the extinguish of the film the two men have worked out a strong friendship and respectful working relationship, but it is clearly Philbert’s reach to warriorship which carries more weight in the final victory. The movie does have a few set flaws, but they are insignificant compared to the interest evoked by Philbert Bono’s accelerate, which is one of inner seeking combined with action in the outer world.
This deceptively simple “road buddy” film was first introduced to me in 1991 when I was researching Native American culture for my 2 children so they would better understand their heritage. What a feast for the eyes,ears and spirit! The find,some of it by Robbie Robertson (U2) is a wonderfully effective backdrop that carries us into the world of one Native American’s new vision quest. One scene that comes to mind is when the gentle Cheyenne named Philbert Bono (Gary Farmer) surveys a obsolete junk yard beefy of wrecked cars, but sees instead a herd of wild ponies galloping on the insensible. His choice of a “pony” is a broken down Buick,yet to him it’s as excellent as any horse that ever ran. And so it goes. A. Martinez is facinating as Buddy RedBow, Philbert’s activist friend who joins him on the road. The film weaves together humor and pathos,fantasy and realism for a legend that entertains while it touches the spirit and makes one feel,at least for a miniature while, as if life could indeed be as Philbert sees it; and wouldn’t that be a astounding,magical thing! I have not seen this film since 1992 and idea I might never again. That Pow Wow Highway is available now is a dream advance upright. I cannot recommend it highly enough!
