Both a man's and a chick flick at the same time

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2006)

An emotionally moving movie whether you're looking at it from the male or female perspective. A father & sons who still manage to remain honorable and respectable despite incredible family & societal challenges. The cinematography is absolutely breathtaking--somehow tops even Robert Redford's best cinematography efforts. The score & subtle camera work enhance the emotions at key character points within the movie. This movie is a must if you love the West, cowboy lifestyle, American Indians, American history, and movies about interesting characters who do their best to cope with great loss while still remaining an honest & forthright people.
