I like your typical action film, chick flick and can't get enough of those captioned artsy films. I enjoy a movie that looks pretty as well as one that takes you on a journey to explore the depths of your soul. In a theater I'll sit through almost anything. Well, that's not true. I HAVE sat through almost anything (when the tickets were free) and would come out with a wish to get those hours back.
In my quest to do the out of the ordinary I went to a western themed film. Sure, it has Oscar buzz and all but still...it's got horses, desert and cowboy hats. It was quite enjoyable. The characters were full and complex and I'm a sucker for good dialogue. I'm the girl that will watch the British period piece and speak with the most horrible accent ever afterwards just not to let the magic end. I think I expected to come out using a twang and words like "vittles" or "fixin' to git" but it actually sparkled too much for those commonalities.
I won't break down the film for you. You might indeed want to see it for yourself and I am no spoiler. I am also not qualified as a film critic. I can tell you that the major themes that I pulled from this film were innocence, redemption and courage. There was also intelligence, wit and gumption. ( I had to use that word...come on now). Overall, I enjoyed my travel to another time in another place and can't wait to ride a horse sometime in the spring. I might even buy a cowboy hat...
