I was surprised. Three hour movie, however very engaging. Really exams and illustrates the various stories of the people that journey
to the west. Offers a true perspective of what it took to make it in frontier. Various cultures clash and finds ways to survive. Costner does not hold back on the truth regarding the native Americans. Disappointed there was no story regarding black people and their role in settling the west. Excited for 2,3, and 4.
