Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

calgarywino We came across this film by accident on APTN when it followed Longmire which I enjoy very much. Even though we didn't catch the very beginning this movie it was very fast to catch our attention. The boyish James Dean-like appearance of Barry Pepper along with his cocky charm was intriguing, then, there was the landscape of the Canadian North, so beautiful. The Inuit family with their gentle nature, and the girl played pretty Annabella Piugattuk were so charming in their innocence that had to see what happened. Having as a boy read Never Cry Wolf, Lost in the Barrens and People of the Deer I have longed to travel to the Arctic and the cinematography was so wonderful I felt I was there. The Snowy owls, ravens, wolves, and caribou brought back memories of reading of the Inuit's religion and seemed mystical and full of hidden meanings. On the more earth bound side, I think we all long to see cocky people get their comeuppance and observe the character growth that adversity brings. In this tale, based on a 'true' story, a young World War ll pilot and a sick tubercular Inuit girl crash in the Arctic and she must teach the arrogant fly boy how to survive and ultimately become more human. Based quite closely on the short story Walk Well, My Brother, it is a story of human triumph and loss and very worth viewing, and it's sad that it has been under appreciated. Charles Martin Smith, who once played Farley Mowat in the 1983 movie Never Cry Wolf has done a beautiful job, he both co-wrote and directed this movie and even the few slow sections have not detracted from it. In true Farley Mowat fashion this was a wonderful tale, he never let too much reality get in the way of a good story. We really enjoyed it, and hope that you will too !

SnoopyStyle It's 1953. Charlie Halliday (Barry Pepper), a former WWII pilot, is a bush pilot in the Northwest Territories of Canada. On a stop to store some fuel, Charlie encounters an Inuit family. Charlie agree to take a sick girl to Yellowknife in exchange for some ivory. However they crash out in the middle of nowhere.It's a pretty interesting survival story. Barry Pepper is a top notch actor. The Inuit girl is very stoic, somewhat a one dimensional performance. However the landscape and the adventure is unique and fascinating. I don't even want the other stories in this movie. The search and the people back home is unimportant. I'd rather just have the story of Halliday and the Inuit girl.

Terry Davis I loved this film, and I didn't expect to. It's not particularly well shot.The white owl metaphor makes the movie make sense.I really would have liked the film much better if she had lived, it was very hard to accept. If she had lived it wouldn't have moved me as much I suppose.But I would have been OK with that. I find myself getting upset that she sacrificed herself, and I would have rather she had lived. I guess I said that already.I find myself telling myself, its only a movie.My gosh.

billcr12 A tale of survival, The Snow Walker is the story of a Canadian hot shot pilot who flies a single engine prop plane into the Canadian wilderness near Manitoba on a regular basis. One day, Charlie drops off some drums at a remote area where he meets some Inuit Eskimoes who give him a pair of valuable ivory tusks as trade in order to have him take back a young woman to a hospital, as she is coughing up blood and may have tuberculosis. He reluctantly agrees, and while on the journey, the plane breaks down and they crash land in the middle of nowhere. He jumps up and down, cursing their dilemma, while the Eskimo girl calmly uses a piece of string to catch fish. Her outdoor skills are formidable, and he soon realizes that she is much better then he is in the great outdoors. They walk a long way and eventually he decides it would be better to return to the plane to await a rescue. They set up camp and most of the film shows the two learning to communicate and teaching each other their very uncommon cultures. The scenery is beautiful, and the young actress a natural, which makes The Snow Walker a trip worth taking.
