1883: This Is Not Your Heaven (2022)
Really??
Great scenery, costumes and most of the acting. LONG scenes. I've never hit the SKIP FORWARD 10 SECONDS BUTTON so many times.
So many frustrating things happened .. or not.
A few examples:
They track down the thieves who stole their cattle and kill them all (13 men?) . (they do this many times during the series.) Although people are walking and starving in the wagon train, they leave all the ammo, food and horses and gear belonging to the rustlers. WOW!
And the finale... why didn't BOTH parents ride to the final destination to be with Elsa when she dies? I certainly would not have been left behind.
On the good side, it was good to see the indigenous characters were not all the stereotypical characters. There were good ones, bad ones, in the middle, family ones, etc. Basically, humans.
Oh, one last thing, Elsa's comanche garb... did she get that at a halloween store? The naughty Indian maid? Oye.
Brothers in Arms (2005)
Worst "WESTERN" I have ever seen
I can't believe someone would actually want to put this film out for the public to view. Acting was pitiful on most parts (Caradine and some of the other veteran actors excepted). Costumes ranged from tight leather pants and tube top to "Western" costumes from a bargain Halloween store. From the wimpy bank manager to the W.C. Fields mayor, characterization was corny and I felt embarrassed for the actors. I can't even begin to describe the errors and bastardization of Western life and culture. An absolute travesty. This relates to BAD as "Unforgiven" relates to great. I think a 5-year-old could write a better story, film it and direct it... probably even act in it! If someone wants to play cowboy and film it for fun with friends fine, but don't bother publishing it. I do believe you should ad at least a ZERO to your voting scale.
