Max M @Househuntermax Aug 6 I like the concept and what they’re trying to do here. But I’ve never been much of a Dustin Hoffman fan so this overly long movie wasn’t for me. See more Alec B @Alec97 Apr 15 One of Hollywood's transitional Westerners, made when one view of manifest destiny was shifting to another (or really several others). As a result this movie doesn't feel like it was made to fulfill any mandates or sensibilities. I've known a number of old men who talk exactly the way the voice over narration here sounds, so it feels honest to me even if the picaresque plot often seems ridiculous.

It’s such a fun drama that you can’t help but stay engaged throughout. A fantastic film that ages well. Watched on DVD.

The clubbing and eating of the dog, the heart-lung shot that spewed blood. It wasn't your typical western with the cowboys vs the indians. I was quite blown away by the whole thing. 50 years later, I went back and saw it again. I couldn't watch the whole thing. Like a lot of movies and actors that I adored when i was young, the years haven't been good to it. Now, I see through the contrived, dated story line. So many things have been done better since the time of this movie. I realise more and more how brainwashed we all were by the inherent cultural zeitgeist in the media of the late 60s and early 70s. It was partly driven by commercial influences. The westerns that i truly love now are the spaghetti westerns that can laugh at themselves.

A wonderful western telling some really - although possibly embellished historical fiction. Would love for the people of the 2024 and younger crowd to see how movies used to have action and real stories to them.
