Reviews

Lee Eisenberg Two years before producing "Roots", David Wolper turned out another fine production for TV. The Emmy-nominated "I Will Fight No More Forever" looks at Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce. Joseph led the resistance to the US's seizure of indigenous land. A general with whom Joseph was friendly told the Nez Perce to move to a reservation in Idaho. Joseph tried to move his people to safety, but due to the US army's superior weaponry and the lack of help from other groups of Indians, the Nez Perce eventually gave up fighting and Joseph made his famous pronouncement.It was appropriate that this movie aired during the time of the American Indian Movement. Indeed, it was in 1975 that Leonard Peltier got arrested. This was one of the many productions - whether for cinema or TV - that said that the US was finally taking a critical look at its history. Ned Romero turns in a fine performance as Joseph, as do James Whitmore as the general and Sam Elliott as his captain. I recommend it.

bghilliotti The film had a modest budget, but it depicted very accurately events and major characters involved in the Nez Perce war. Had a strong anti war message; couldn't help noticing that it was made just after the US pulled out of Vietnam. Brian Ghilliotti

monkeyface_si Like its hero, Chief Joseph of the Nez Pierce, this movie uses understatement to incredible effect. Ned Romero is brilliant as Chief Joseph, under who attempted to take his tribe to Canada. James Whitmore is marvelous as the Army officer, with an unusually progressive outlook, but powerless to assist Chief Joseph.The photography is exceptional, and the score is hauntingly beautiful. See it if you can.

Harpo-10 This movie is one of my favorites because Chief Joseph is one of my favorite men in history. Here was a man possessed with great intelligence and character. He led his people and suffered great loss. This film shows the inhumanity of man to his fellow man and how one truly great man can rise the the occasion of greatness in the middle of great danger. An excellent film to watch.
