Jimmy Looks Twice was not modelled on Leonard Peltier[edit]

The character of Jimmy Looks Twice had been casted to match Bob Robideau who was also involved in the Pine Ridge Shootout (cf. Incident at Oglala) Though there are also similarities to Peltier's life, the physical resemblance to Robideau is striking: Compare the following pictures of

Trudell

and

Robideau

versus

Peltier

If you watch both Thunderheart and Incident at Oglala you will see interview scenes in the latter, where the resemblance is even stronger than in those two photographs, imitating not only hair style but also accessories like ear-rings worn by Robideau and Jimmy Looks Twice. --chris 論 18:39, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Timeframe[edit]

I removed the reference to the film being set in the early 1970's. A specific year is never referenced in the film, but it's clear that it's set in the 1980s. In the early scene where Ray (Val Kilmer) meets Kuch (Sam Shepard) for the first time, Ray tells him that they had met once before "in '76" and the implication is clear that it was many years ago. Additionally, the vehicles and clothing styles clearly indicate it takes place at least in the mid-1980s.AE Logan (talk) 17:57, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
