A true McMurtry Western
|
I admit after watching Lonesome Dove in the early 90's I neither read or watched any of the other Lonesome Dove movies or books up until this year.
But Comanche Moon mini series stimulated me to read and watch all the books and movies asociated with Lonesome Dove.
As a reader and western genre fan it has been enjoyable. Only McMurtry can create the complex characters in his books and movies that are rich in chacterization and compelling to watch and read about. There are disappointments in the outcome of the main chacters and the directions of the stories, but overall they are great reads and movies are compelling to watch.
I think Garner does not pull off the emotional retardation but endearing loyalty and sense of honor of Captain Call seen in the Lonesome Dove movie. Still it is a credible acting job. I dislike the fact that Call is defeated by modern technology and is not placed on a more even plane with the bads guys. But the movie captures the feel of the west in the 1890's, with great scenery from the American southwest and good dialogue.
I highly recommend all of the Lonesome Dove novels. |
