According to MPR News, the Indigenous actor selected six films to spark conversations about masculinity and storytelling
Indigenous actor, writer and comedian Dallas Goldtooth is curating a six-film series at the Walker Art Center that examines masculinity through movies he grew up watching, according to reporting from MPR News. The series, “Once Upon a Time in Manhood,” opened July 10 and features “Willow,” “The Last of the Mohicans,” “Die Hard,” “The Shawshank Redemption,” “Fight Club” and “Boy.” Goldtooth told MPR News he selected films that invite audiences to reflect on how popular culture shaped ideas about manhood.
Goldtooth said the series explores what he calls "a language of violence" that appears across the films while encouraging viewers to consider which ideas about masculinity they want to keep or leave behind, according to the MPR News reporting. The series runs through Aug. 14 at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis.
