You know that all to well. Welcome to 2014, where we give Oscars for redface and songs from Christian colonial fantasies.ĮTA: I forgot to mention that there is a tiny bit of justice in all of this–J ohnny Depp was nominated for a “worst actor” Razzie this year for his work in Lone Ranger. But now with an Oscar nod, a whole lot more people are going to be seeing it. The other thing that majorly sucks is that “Alone yet not alone” would have just quietly slid into obscurity because it looks like the worst movie ever, and only had a tiny release to the “christian market” (whatever that is). Which my lovely friend so succinctly summed up when she tweeted this to me this morning: So both the Lone Ranger and Alone yet not Alone feed into the colonial fantasy BS that dominates hollywood stories about Indians. 94% of the voting members of the academy are white.

Will Barbara ever see her sister again? Alone Yet Not Alone depicts the riveting true story of a family at a critical juncture in our nation’s history. Pursued by a relentless and cunning warrior, Barbara and her three fellow captives must cross over two hundred miles of raw wilderness in their effort to reach friendly territory. ![]() Yet now a deeper fate threatens, and she makes a difficult decision: to risk her life in an attempt to escape. Forcibly immersed into a primitive foreign culture, the older sister, Barbara, clings to her beliefs. But when the sisters are suddenly and cruelly separated, their tender faith is brought to a stretching point. While hoping for rescue and return to their home, they are comforted with the words of a family hymn: Alone Yet Not Alone. Hostile native tribes are raiding the vulnerable frontier farms, and two young sisters are among those taken captive. Opposing European powers have clashed over the fertile Ohio valley, and entire families are devastated by the ensuing violence. The year is 1755, and the English colonies are being ravaged by the atrocities of war.

What kind of world do we live in? Oh, I know. (And for those of you new to the blog or need a refresher, here’s all my Tonto coverage: my initial reactions, why you should care about Tonto when there are “bigger issues” out there, tearing apart Depp’s reasoning over his costume choices, the controversy I dealt with for writing about Tonto, Armie Hammer’s comments about Indians loving the movie, and the big review of the film): Or this mess that we talked about ad nauseam because it amounts to REDFACE: So then I am left to ascertain that the academy is honoring either the super-hurtful-and-offensive fake cleft lip they gave the bad guy, Cavendish: Here’s Bonham-Carter’s look, if you’re curious. Unless the greasy-not-showered look is like really difficult to do or something. “Best Makeup and Hairstyling”: The Lone Ranger for best makeup and hairstyling seems like kinda a sick joke, don’t you think? I saw the movie, unfortunately, and it’s really just a bunch of old-timey wild west dudes and Helen Bonham carter, and there is nothing remarkable about their hair or makeup. “Best Song”: “Alone yet not Alone” from the movie “Alone yet not Alone” (We’ll get to this in a minute. “Best Makeup and hairstyling”: THE LONE RANGER.
