Sadly Over-hyped
Great Film overall
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
This is not a remarkable western. The good guy rides a white horse, etc.However, there is a bizarre moment where the hero hops off that white horse, jumps into some sort of drainage ditch, finds himself a log about 6 feet long, straddles it like a stick horse, and then holding the front of the log to hold the tail end down onto the ditch bottom, he commences to "ski" down the ditch at a brisk pace with 3-point balance! There is no warning this is coming! It's just THERE in the movie! I have never seen anything else like it.The movie also features a great secret cave with a "secret" back entrance hidden by a swinging cupboard!
