I was going to watch this, but feared it would be a woke-fest. Thanks for the review, now I’ll give it a go!
Thank you for the recommendation. I trust this movie won’t have a politically correct romance like 1883 did?
Thanks. I’ll give it a try. Love a good western. One of the reviewers says that this is a western version of Hamlet.
Emily Blunt sure knows her History. Great series. More realistic depiction of western expansion than has ever been produced.
I watched the entire series, but then again, I’d pay to watch Emily Blunt sleep.
No woke-ism, and it’s not horrible, but it’s a far cry of the historical authenticity of series like ‘1883.’
Watched the entire Season one. Enjoyed it but felt it a bit disjointed between episodes. Felt like it was based on a book but skipped random chapters. One example if you’ve watched it: what became of the accordion player?
I looked at an ad today for the movie Monte Walsh.
The ad stated that the movie was about how barbed wire and railroads put an end to Cowboys.
I thought about that for awhile.
They really did.
My Dad died many years ago and my Mom is dating a cowboy.
A real one.
He has wild horses on his land “Because I like to look at em.”
Tough man. Good man.
Not many like him left.
I went to see The English Patient but we had to leave because Elaine hated it
Appreciate this. I really want to see it.
I watched half of the first episode. It didn’t interest me. Maybe I’ll give it another shot.
Watched the first episode and thought...meh. But went back later and almost binged the balance. It is very good and very different. Actors are great and cinematography was outstanding. The kind of piece you will think about for a while.
Just working through it……I love a good Western
I want to like it.
Merry Christmas.
I think it is the best western I’ve seen.
I watched it twice and it was even better the second time because it helped me put all the pieces together.
Few films stick in my mind like this one.
I watched it and liked it a lot. It really made you think about all those people who left the comfort of cities and explored the West. It was brutal.
I’ll pass, but I can recommend “The English Muffin.” Woman only like the top of the muffin, and then can’t find anyone to take the bottom halves. Treks through the desert to find a suitable dumping site.
Thanks for the heads up. I’m always love a good western.
We enjoyed it. Kind of a surprising situation.
Not a woke fest but preposterous bow and arrow shots, wardrobe changes and for the life of me cant tell you what the plot was a week or so ago after seeing it. Its a western alright ,,,,,of the unbelievable, unauthentic kind.
I agree!……beautifully made movie!
I love Westerns!…..and this one joins my favorites!
