**_There’s more to life than rashly killing people

**_There’s more to life than rashly killing people with a spear_** In 1956, several American missionaries deep in the Amazon basin try to contact the warring Waodani tribe, who live near the Curaray River in eastern Ecuador. Thirty-eight years later, the son of one of the missionaries goes back to the area to reacquaint with the people he met as a child. “End of the Spear” (2005) is a drama with some thrills based on the true story. Movies with a similar milieu include “Fitzcarraldo,” “The Emerald Forest,” “At Play in the Fields of the Lord,” “Medicine Man” and “The Lost City of Z,” even “The Mosquito Coast.” Sure, this one is more ‘faith-based’ due to the subject matter, but the director lets the facts speak for themselves with no glossing over and no sanitizing; just the facts. The viewer is left to interpret them. If you like any of those flicks, you can’t go wrong with this one. Even if you’re a strict atheist, the evangelical element is played down. When the biblical message is conveyed, it’s presented in the same way it was given to the Waodani in real-life: In concepts or symbols from their everyday language. For instance, ‘God’ is replaced with ‘Waengongi,’ which is the creator god of the tribe. Interestingly, a couple of the Amazonians resemble members of 80’s metal bands Anthrax (Dan Spitz and Joey Belladonna) and Manowar (Joey DeMaio). Seriously. The movie runs 1 hour, 48 minutes, and was shot in Colon, Panama, which is about 800 miles north from where the events actually occurred. GRADE: B/B-

Moving and Enjoyable

End of the Spear

First, let me say that the Christian aspect of this story is simply a small part of the story. At no time did I feel that there was a Christian agenda or that this story was anything other than the telling of a true story. What do people expect, that a story about a group of Christian missionaries not expose their faith? Furthermore, if I am not mistaken, I am fairly certain, that the name Jesus was never uttered, nor did it appear in the captions.

Secondly, I must confess that Christina Souza (Dayumae) starred in a film I produced in 2003 entitled, "I Love You Came Too Late," and we all fell in love with her then. So, I was ready to be treated to an excellent performance.

That being said, I truly enjoyed this film. I saw it last night with my girlfriend. She had no idea what the story was about and she had never met Christina. So she went in with a completely open mind, but she had been moved to tears by the end of the film. Throughout the film, she reacted to every battle scene, as well as, the tense or tender moments in the exact manner that the writer and director had intended.

Louie Leonardo (Mincayani) gave an outstanding performance. His solid good looks and frequently exposed physique are definitely a treat for the ladies. I suspect that this performance will bring him the kind of attention that he deserves and that we will be seeing more of him in the future.

Finally, this is a well-written, directed and acted film with beautiful cinematography that treats the viewer to the wonder of the Amazon rain forest in Ecuador and the people who live with in it's jungle.

Outstanding Film & Story!!!!!

Could you truly love the people that killed your family members and friends? What if it was a gross misunderstanding (can anyone say Iraq War)? The kind of stuff more movies should be made of! I got to attend a screening here in NYC that apparently coincided with the 50th anniversary of this true event.

I'm not sure why or how this movie has escaped the attention of most major media. The movie websites says it's releasing in 1,200 theaters in a week. Maybe the media is biased because part of the story is about missionaries. I don't know about the rest of you, but this is the first movie I've been to in a while that is actually worth $9 for a ticket.

I think most people might think that loving your father's killer is a little sick, but when the movie unfolds and you understand the clash between the two cultures, it make sense.

If you like The Mission (Robert Dinero, Jeremy Irons), Chariots of Fire, or Last of the Mohicans, you will enjoy this movie!
