26 years on and still relevant

Rating: Null/10 (21 February 2019)

I'm writing this review as I'm listening to the awesome soundtrack playing between my ears. I saw this movie again after 26 years and yes it still moves me to tears. I cried when The Colonel said goodbye to the boys, I cried when Tristan came back and saw the Colonel for the first time after he had his stroke. Yes it's a melodrama and the way the actors played their part, I could resonate with each and everyone of them. I'm 52 and I've seen felt mostly what they have gone through in the 1920s. Watch this film for the sweeping cinematography and the emotions of it all. One Stab narration and his Red Indian chants added a bit of character. The way Tristan looks up to him is something the youngsters missing now. The lack of respect to the elders. Susanah, the woman caught in between is portrayed brilliantly by Ormond. Horner soundtrack is a masterclass. Brilliant.
