The Missing
The Missing is a 2003 American Revisionist Western thriller film directed by Ron Howard, based on Thomas Eidson's 1996 novel The Last Ride. The film is set in 1885 New Mexico Territory and is notable for the authentic use of the Apache language by various actors, some of whom spent long hours studying it. The film was produced by Revolution Studios, Imagine Entertainment, and Daniel Ostroff Productions and distributed by Columbia Pictures.
Plot
In late 19th-century New Mexico, Samuel Jones reappears hoping to reconcile with his adult daughter Maggie Gilkeson. She is unable to forgive him for abandoning the family and leaving her mother to a hard life and early death. This situation changes when Pesh-Chidin and a dozen of his followers (who have left the reservation) pass through the area, ritualistically killing settlers and taking their daughters to be sold into slavery in Mexico. Among those captured is Maggie's eldest daughter, Lilly. Maggie's rancher boyfriend Brake Baldwin was among the settlers killed.

The Filter
by: Eiffel 65Some people suffer living alone
And feel the emptiness
Of a relationship that turned into dust
And some wait for all of their lives
Because they're too afraid
And they let their train go by
And some will never say no
Living on the frailty
Of never letting go
Always hiding behind a mask
And though there's finally a pleasence of being always on their own
While others want a perfect heart
And a home
It's because you are
Like a filter to me
That I'll see the future brighter
Than they'll ever see
And I know you are
All the colours I breathe
You have the pen that's writing down
The fairy tale that pictures
You and me
Some people suffer poverty
In a love affair
And others like to live their love
In the rain
And some live a million affairs
Believing all the time that no one will feel or care
Some people wait
Holding back their faith
Because their wounds will never heal
Made by rumors building hate
Or someone who's in a sin
Some people find a pleasence of being always on the road
While others want a perfect heart
And a home
It's because you are
Like a filter to me
That I'll see the future brighter
Than they'll ever see
And I know you are
All the colours I breathe
You have the pen that's writing down
The fairy tale that pictures
You and me
It's because you are
Like a filter to me
That I'll see the future brighter
Than they'll ever see
And I know you are
All the colours I breathe
You have the pen that's writing down
The fairy tale that pictures
