hdeclaire As a buffalo enthusiast, I was really excited when I saw the movie title when I was browsing for movies to watch. And it certainly did fulfill my buffalo dreams. I had such personal interest in this film that I decided to audition my own buffalo for roles in other low-budget western films. Sadly, they did not make the cut, but I am not bitter. In my opinion, these magnificent creatures were beautifully portrayed. As someone who owns several buffalo (including one domesticated buffalo), I found that the song "Lean On Me" does not help at all for herding purposes. Despite that disappointment, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and encourage other buffalo enthusiasts to have a look at this excellent film. Two hooves up!
johnnymackb I am the husband of Elva Nava, who played the stunt double for Scout in this film. I was there, and saw her riding so close to the buffalo who were herded by a helicopter. This is something we will never forget. It was totally insane, the crew deserves a huge credit for ensuring my wife's safety and that of the other stunt doubles. These were real, live, wild, viciously angry, raging, multi thousand pound, snorting, killers ready to trample whatever gets in their way, i.e. people making a movie. You can clearly see her face in the group shots of the bikers. Also you can see some great side shots that to me are clearly Elva. Anyway, she looked just like Scout on camera even though she was 21 years old at the time. I hope to get a chance to see her do some other stunt parts. She is a real tough Latina. I hope you like her work. Thanks,Johnny-Mack Barlow
miszxfani This D.C.O.M was awesome! Even though they got some info about the buffaloes wrong in this movie, i liked it more than i thought i would have. In this movie, Josh (Reiley McClendon) and his family move to New Mexico. Josh meets a native kid there named Thomas(Simon R. Baker), who doesn't want to be native, but on the other hand, Thomas's friend Moon (Max Van Ville) who wishes he could be. In the beginning, Thomas and Josh don't get along, but they begin to see that they have a lot in common and in the end, their friendship saved the whole town. I really liked this movie and hopefully, when you watch it you'd like it too. This movie might not be the best movie ever, but it is certainly one of the best D.C.O.M.
luvinlife217 Buffalo Dreams was so much better than I thought it would be! I thought this movie would be a wild west movie but it was pretty cool. The main character Josh is a BMX rider and Thomas is a worker. Thomas, Scout, his little sister, and Moon must teach Josh how to respect the Navajo traditions. Thomas, who is Navajo, doesn't like his culture, while Moon, who isn't Navajo, wishes he could be. Scout can't talk, but she finally does in the end so she can save her brother from a terrible death. This movie shows how two different people can help each other in weird ways. People develop a lifetime of friendship in weird ways! Things happen in mysterious ways.
