Oh, the movie is called Powder.

Saw that movie, sorry about not recognising it before.

Ah, Powder. That one I did see.
Very moving part about the deer. I do not endorse extreme vegetarianism, however. Consider where that would leave eskimos, and other aboriginal cultures, most of which showed extreme respect, and reverence, for the animals they HAD to consume.
And consider that our own Judeo-Christian roots have, at their beginning, the references and necessity of animal husbandry, and sacrifice.

As to the "powers" that the young man employed, they were interesting, but seemed much more trouble than they were worth.
