    For once I have to agree with the critics. When I watched this I had great expectations since a lot of people had been expressing their longing for this movie to be released on DVD. It's not too bad, but I didn't really feel the need to see it again.

    Hi Popol Vuh,
    I feel exactly in opposite way. I know that the storyline isn't great and may be dated , but it is so big joy to watch the sceenes, I remember this movie not because of scenes but because of beautifully shoot and composed scenes. The first one - were Sammy sings to protect her father, when Harrey Carey came first to Sarah's home, when they meet with Duke in the medow in the final, Duke listening to his Dad and Sammy speaking and the very final with landscapes with sheep and sun through trees, very religios mooded if I can say so. Each part of this movie are shoot like an art work, so it is sure is som static in the whole. But I always catch myself on the thought that I want even slower pace to enjoy each moment. This is the magic of the film and at the same time it is a fault of it becouse it is not for people who enjoy thrilling action.
