I watched the Sign of the Beaver with the same actors and may be an identical movie. This is an accurate period film from historical period/challenges, to costuming, set and seasonal changes...quite impressive. There are at least a few conflicts and antagonists within the story so the writing is very good and not predictable. The scenery is beautiful. The acting is solid and the characters are well developed characters, which is great for value teachings after. Honestly, I was drawn in enough to forget I was watching a movie and had so much hope for the boy. The story contains excellent challenges for young boys in skill, intelligence, judgment and courage...though it mentions Christian faith a few times...it falls a little short on exercising faith in it's main characters. This was a descent compliment to our children's' history and literature analysis classes this year. Unfortunately, there was one use of foul language. Would love to buy and add to our collection.
