Taylor Sheridan is one of the most talented writers in the film industry today. He is responsible for Yellowstone of course. 1883. Lord of Kingstown. He wrote Wind River which I really liked. Just saw his name in the credits for Sicario as well. All quality stuff. I’m sure he is responsible for the screenplays of many other films I haven’t found yet.
1883, starts out great and you are hooked before you realize it is social justice propaganda. Let me see if I get it right, 18 year old girl becomes profecient in riding, roping, wrangling, handling of weapons and fist fighting. Of course very promiscuous along the way and where she dies is where the family will bury her, and start a life. Sam (beef, its what for dinner), looks really old and almost dead. The acting is superb, other than the daughter/ho, and it left me less interested in Yellowstone than before I watched it. 0-10 scale of quality, I give it a 5.
