Your experience is similar to mine in any event. I think it's a terrific movie--as a formal object, I can't think of a single thing to say against it--but I don't think it's a film I can love unreservedly.Vulnavia Morbiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04722740955194993451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18814440.post-55907315305100447212010-12-27T11:55:51.241-08:002010-12-27T11:55:51.241-08:00I saw it on Christmas and I've been trying to ...I saw it on Christmas and I've been trying to define for myself why I liked it very much and yet didn't find it great.

In the casting and in the general look of this film, there is a sense that it is not simply a western but a story that takes place in the US in the late 19th century.
