I loved it! It'll make you understand the American Spirit! The cinematography is breathtaking!! It's heartbreaking, dramatic, brutal, funny, hopeful & inspiring. It shows the reality of what ALL people went through when the West was settled. It blends stories of American Indians, Mexicans, Chinese & Europeans. It shows the reality of the human spirit needed to survive this mass migration - the American Indians fighting for their lands & the settlers trying to make a new life in uncharted territory. There were a lot of story lines & it was a bit hard to remember who was who but I think after #2 you'll see how their stories will start to come together. (Reminds me of watching Game of Thrones in the 1st season) I really cannot say enough about this film - I'm glad Kostner waited until now to make it - our country needs a film like this to remind of us who we are - the good & bad. Everyone should go see this movie. It was truly beautiful. I'm so excited for the next chapter.
