    • Trivia
      Tommy Lee Jones and Eric Schweig learned some Chiricahua Apache for this film. Their instructors were two of the last three remaining fluent speakers.
    • Goofs
      When Samuel speaks to the bird sitting next to him, the bird has a yellow plastic ring around its right ankle.
    • Quotes

      Maggie Gilkeson: I've never worked on an Indian before

      Samuel Jones: [Sarcastically] They have green blood and a pinecone where their heart should be

    • Alternate versions
      Although the film was shot in the Super 35 format for 2.39:1 and protected for 1.33:1, the VHS and the Full Screen DVD mostly Pans and Scans as if it were shot in Anamorphic Widescreen instead of properly framing it for Full Frame as most Super 35 films are. Only a few shots in this movie were reframed properly.

    I am left with more questions than answers.....
    God, how this film touched me. I saw something in Ms. Blanchett that I have never seen before; she actually became the character from the book and I was moved. After seeing the movie I tracked the book down ( it was difficult believe it or not ) and finished it in six hours. I am wondering why the screen writers changed the final scenes. Don't get me wrong, Ron Howard makes good to great movies ( this is a solid film from the historical point of view as well ) but I am left with more questions for him than I feel I will ever get answers.
