Well done movie. The critics got it wrong with their negative comments. This is meant for older mature adults who can follow multiple story lines in one saga. As one who loves westerns I find the story to be close to what happened when folks were trying to build homesteads. The end is meant to show the repetitive cycle of death, attempts to settle, the Indians involvement and the white mans underhandedness throughout. Instead of wasting another hour showing this over & over they did a mash up of events so you can get the message of what was happening repeatedly and to set you up for Part 2. The critics snarked off about the ending but I understand why it was done that way and liked it. Critics donโt always get it right, go see this and decide for yourself.
