The screenplay of one of my all time favorite movies. I picked up the book by chance at a Building 19. It has one of my favorite poems about Fathers in the back too, by a writer that resides in Massachusetts.

This story/film was taken from Alexie's book "The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfighting in Heaven". If you haven't seen the movie, RUN TO THE VIDEO STORE, RENT IT, and WATCH IT! EXCELLENT!!!!

I think that it is really something that Sherman Alexie can re-work his characters and stories to fit the needs of a new project.

This screenplay is pretty funny, but not my favorite Native American piece I have read.
