"As far as the characters: did you expect biographies? Their actions and well-chosen words told you all you needed to know.
Anyhow, as I said, that's the director's style. I find it far more interesting than Malick, another minimalist American director. I wonder if you'd like the film better the second time around? Probably not. Myself, I found Michelle's performance confirms my view of her as one of the absolute best actresses now working. BTW, this film is based on a true story, though the wagon train was far larger. "

Is it something along the line of Kubrick? I didn't like '2001' at first, but as I get older, the more I appreciate '2001'.

Btw. I outgrew 'Star Wars' a long time ago.

No. Nothing like Kubrick's visual fireworks. It is paced like many slow movements of sonatas or symphonies, - tinear 16:42:09 05/30/11 (1)
