"Secondhand Lions" was a great movie! I bought it (and I rarely buy new releases). I highly recommend it.
My husband and I watched "Broken Trail" and loved it. I liked the confusion of the Chinese girls, the way that people crossed their paths on the trail, and the grittiness and danger of the trail drive.
It was historically accurate, too. Chinese girls were sold into prostitution through San Francisco, the British Army did buy horses, etc.
All in all, one of the best things I have seen on television in years.
Ain't "Secondhand Lions" great! My favorite quote from Duvall:
I'm Hub McCann. I've fought in two World Wars and countless smaller ones on three continents. I led thousands of men into battle with everything from horses and swords to artillery and tanks. I've seen the headwaters of the Nile, and tribes of natives no white man had ever seen before. I've won and lost a dozen fortunes, killed many men and loved only one woman with a passion a flea like you could never begin to understand. That's who I am. Now, go home, boy!
