I am 73 years young! I live on the southern end of the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee! I loved your presentation! I was chopping cotton at 5 years old in western Alabama! Out house, shallow well poor pay etc. Didn’t know We were poor! I was much happier then in cut off jeans and a field hand straw hat! 25 cents for a half day work as a child! Our country is devoid of true constitutional freedom! It is our fault we have not followed our constitution and stood up to our elected officials and held them to account! Stand up America! Fight to restore our God given rights!!
Thanks for your ideas especially from a true western perspective. I just don't understand why Sheridan, Costner & others in Yellowstone have to take God's name in vain to think in doing so they need to in order to make a good movie !
@@jimmyrhodes1808I agree got tired of the Yellowstone show pretty quickly been around ranchers and loggers my whole 61 years there were some rough characters nothing like that show portrayed we concentrated on working not drama 😎🍻
MAGA really is trying to get back to 5 year olds picking cotton. Boomers are still the worst generation in the history of the USA.
Born in Chicago, my family traveled out West for a year, homesteaded in Wyoming, settled in Vermont, we kids learned how to chop wood, run a splitter, we had outhouses and my parents made their own bread. And yes, do need to stand up to our elected officials. Thank you!
@@lisetteeliseparis7070 What veiled threat is MAGA projecting by "stand up to our elected officials"?
I am so glad you are promoting this movie, because we need more of these movies. I went to watch Horizon on the released date. My friend, & myself were the only ones in the theater. Don't get me wrong I was happy that I didn't have any interruptions from rude people, but was sad to know people don't appreciate good films like this. I truly love it, & enjoyed the 3hrs of this film. I truly hope, & pray this turns around for Kevin Costner, & more people go support, & watch on release date.
Finally a real review of Horizon, thank you. Cannot wait until the next chapter. Thank you so much.
I totally agree with your comments about Horizon. You and I saw the same Part 1 movie. The beauty of the west was shown so well. I grew up in western Kansas, lived in southwestern Wyoming (Jackson Hole) and now in Arizona, 50 miles from the Grand Canyon. I thought to myself-many people from back east have no idea what the west really looks like-it’s harsh beauty. We, living out here can too easily take the beauty of west for granted. This movie reminds us to keep looking at the plains, the mountains, and the skies! I look forward to Part 2 Horizon. Thanks for your “in depth” review.
I grew up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and spent a good deal of my life on the East Coast in 4 locations. My life has taken me all over this country and overseas to a certain extent. In the last 2 1/2 years I have been traveling the West, house and creature sitting. This exploration has given me a newfound appreciation for the diversity of landscapes of our country and for the people who inhabit them. The American West is so very special and I am quite in love with it. There is no way that I could return to the East to live.
@@atticuskilby515I too grew up in the Blue Ridge Mtns. in Virginia, and the NRV. I moved to Texas several years ago and could never move back. If I had to move again, it would be Wyoming or Montana.
Please GO see this movie!
It was so good!

Horizon was an EPIC American tale… from multiple perspectives!
I would have left the theater after the credits and went straight to see Part 2… it was that good!!!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank the good Lord for men like you who respects women and the old west values
Thank you for opening up peoples eyes to Horizon. People have been blinded/brainwashed by Yellowstone. Yes, I loved Yellowstone, but I'm a Costner fan and will always be true to him. I think his an amazing storyteller.
love this video! I am 75 years old yes (old) feel all 75 years. If I was born in that era I would probably be a Annie Oakly. But I loved the strong men and women that took care of their children. They did what they needed to do to survive. They didn't put their hand to the government to support them. Of course you still had the greedy and the bad guys. Plus the dogs even had a purpose and jobs. I think it is called pride in ones self. I watch these mothers now days on Welfare. Go get their nails and botox on pay day of their check. The children are out of food by the 15th. Welfare is ok for a hand up. Not a life style. The subject is to detailed to get into.
Yes. I see the purpose for welfare, as I do for many laws and programs. The problem is that they are abused so much that they no longer serve the purpose they were created for.
@@LifeintheWest; It's kinda like training an animal, you give them a sugar cube a carrot etc. as a reward for doing what you require of them. Eventually they look to you for the substance you offer. Some horses however seem to be unbreakable and wild and free. The Maverick. Gday
We've learned over the years living in the rural outskirts of Tucson that it is best to leave wildlife to their means of survival without trying to "help" them. Besides setting out water in the worst heat of the summer, we just observe and let them fend for themselves. We've learned not to judge animal behavior using human standards of morals and ethics, and we've learned a great deal from simply observing them and not interfering. We've learned that on their own they're incredibly well adapted, resourceful and resilient, and the less wary and more numerous of them become prey. Sometimes it's a matter good luck and bad luck. We incorporate these lessons in our own lives. We don't expect anyone to come to our rescue. We're also truly on our own, and act like it. We're going to watch this movie and I am confident we'll relate to it.
@@RonnDogg9900all a good concept! But we must keep at the idea that it doesn’t give us free rein to overlook the needs of the hurting needy people because we have put them in the class of welfare riders! Some are actually trying to make better of themselves. Prayer is the best way to know the shyster from the true seeker of Christ. Hard road to tow!
59-year-old disabled veteran here. I feel my years on me, too, but I see the scars as lessons learned. I can’t imagine my life without them, and I wouldn’t want to, either. My son is 27 years old and challenged with autism. I raised him on my own, with very little help, so I kept us close to the city, so that I could have access to various facilities for him, like the Y, for instance. It paid off, too. He was a member of a BSA group that specialized in western acting, and he was gifted with three very strong men of integrity as mentors, to whom he is still connected with today. He wants to learn survival skills and be a veterinarian technician. His autistic challenges have slowed him down a bit, but he’s determined to meet his goals and live his life to the fullest, and he’s not seeking handouts, but he does take the occasional hand-up. I couldn’t ask for better son.
I loved Horizon Chapter 1. A cowboy is who I believe a man should be and look up to: capable, calm, empathetic, honourable. A man who will die for his beliefs. A man who loves his woman. A man who pulls himself through the trying times and does what must be done
Western men are way different than today’s
hollyweird….🤔
ok, what ''man who loves his woman"?? ....are you guys all trolls or patholigical liars. Dude, there is zero love story for Costner's character. She tricks him and leaves. WTH is wrong with everyone? He's barely on the screen! Their entire relationship lasts like 10 mins and is about as realistic as a cartoon. I am SO tired of people totally lying to hype up movies.
I grew up with John Wayne and my uncle Ned. Same men, one was in the movies and the other a working man in Colorado, but looked and acted the same.
@@fjimmel
My grandads too, very blessed👍
I LOVED Horizon! Stunning visually, evocative, an homage to Westerns, historically important. Our history. I've seen it 4 times in the past week on the big screen. First time I've been in a theater in 2 decades. Great storytelling. Important.❤
Hollywood does not like real men, that's why I'm here. Thank you very much, Mr. Vandenacre.
(My Ma thought Mr. Costner incredible actor/producer, just saying).
I agree with your ma. Usually he plays in movies that have to much smut for me to watch them, but I loved Open Range and Wyatt Earp.
Also loved Dances with Wolves @@LifeintheWest
Hollyweird is anti American 🤷🏿♂️
Hell, Hollywood doesn't like real people.
“Hollywood does not like real men” is an ignorant statement
I’m so happy to have found your channel. You’re videos are needed, as they show the reality of life as you live it.
My Dad was a man of integrity and I am lucky to have also found my husband is the same.
Life is good, not always pretty, sometimes painful, but good, very good!
Thank you.
Thank you. Yes. Real men are NOT a dime a dozen, but they are out there and they need a voice in this current climate of anti-masculine sentiment. Real men are extremely strong because they care.
@@LifeintheWest ♥️
You knocked it out of the ballpark with this. Thank you.
I totally agree with you on Yellowstone . I watched the first two episodes and I thought this is trash. I am glad you too think Yellowstone is awful as well. Your explanation of Yellowstone is absolutely right!!!
Agreed...I saw 1 episode of Yellowstone and that was enough for me. A western soap opera imo.
Because of your honest assessment of the movie Horizon, I will now go and spend the money to view it. Ty once again for being Trinity the honest and true to himself.
Thank you. That is an incredible compliment! If you hate it, that's ok too. :)
I have not gone to a movie in over 20 years once I started seeing the hidden agendas each contained. I no longer considered them as entertainment. Instead it became obvious how they were being used to promote a particular point of view to influence and re-direct our culture through manipulation.
That said, based upon your review I may have to see Horizon for myself. Thanks
If you do, let me know what you think in all honesty.
Don’t waste your time
Spot on, Trinity! I loved Horizon! It is well adapted and shows many facets of the West at that time as you pointed out. Costner didn’t care if he was meeting Hollywood’s norms, or would get rave reviews or not or break bank in profits opening weekend. That wasn’t important to him. It was important to tell a story as true to the time, people and place as it could be told in the most authentic way. That was his concept and I believe he achieved it. I loved it. It was refreshing to have a filmmaker stay true to his project and not to Hollywood or some other agenda!
When I was a kid I watched open range with my grandpa,And seeing the way Kevin Costner conducted himself immediately made me wanna be a cowboy
If you like mending fence cutting wood no sleep needing a bath sunburnt cold hungry getting stepped on working dark to dark 7 days a week you’ll love it 😎🍻
@@user-ktm890rider Yeah I found that out the first time I woke up early to feed on a crazy cold winter morning lmao,The satisfaction at the end of the day is worth it though
I absolutely agree about your assessment of Yellowstone. It was so distracting and lacking intelligent verbal content, I couldn’t get through an episode.
The movie Horizon kept my attention throughout. Episode 1 sets the stage for the 3 episodes to follow. I’ve marked my calendar to watch for episode 2 to be released mid August.
It definitely left me wanting to find out what happens next. For sure!!
this is helping me decide on this movie, thank you! I was a little on the fence about it. But I think I'll give it a chance now. I just did not have it in me to watch another movie where I need to ignore the plot bc the main draw is the setting! Like I love the landscapes but hate the characters so I constantly need to almost edit the movie on the go. Dunno if anyone else does that, but that was Yellowstone for me. the newer spin off series were a bit better...but still. It was hard. LOOOL!
Get Rip!
Yellowstone was the cliche interaction. No normal conversations. Just cliches enhanced by music.
@@samuelkuntz9734 i don't know. it seemed more like the worst possible representation that cliches. It's like making a movie all about a 100% inbred family and saying: well, that was the west!".... I mean I'm not saying there was zero inbreeding but *THAT* wasn't all ''the west". There way be crap in the forest but it ain't ALL crap. That's all I'm saying. :P
Thanks for your review! I saw an interview with Costner and you got what he wanted to portray. I'm looking forward to seeing it.
I think the problem is most people expect something a little different than what this film is. It’s not Yellowstone!
You get it! Thank you for this review. Too many people are hating on this because they love Yellowstone and want it to fail. Not understanding they are the ones who SHOULD see this. Make it successful. Otherwise Hollywood won’t make more films like this.
You are spot on. I loved Horizon. Can’t wait for the next one.
I am with you. It was a long movie and too short for me. I wanted it to keep going!
Thanks for the thoughtful review. I loved Horizon Chapter One. Three hours flew by; I didn’t want it to end. Fortunately it won’t end. Mr. Costner will gift us with 3 more chapters.
As someone who loves quality Westerns that are willing to show the true story warts and all this is such a breathe of fresh air. Movies like the Searchers, Conagher, Bury my heart at Wounded Knee, and Hostiles all tell complex stories with flawed characters who try to live their lives in difficult times that require difficult choices. I have been a Costner fan since Dances with Wolves and that was reaffirmed with Open Range. I have been a Yellowstone fan but I totally agree the creud language, nudity, and the over the top violence were unnecessary and I could have done without it. I just wish that Horizon was completed so it could be watched start to finish.
We should all go see this, in part to support this type of film making,. But also because this movie is important to preserve a part of American history that many dont want to be taught. Im glad people are making these movies. Costner, Eastwood, and Mel Gibson have all made some great content.
Thanks for reviewing Horizon. I will see it this weekend.
Thank you for this review. I was already planning on seeing this coming week. But your review confirmed even more how much I will likely love this. Looking forward to all 12 hours of this when he gets all done.
Clint Eastwoods Outlaw Jose wales...Best Western Ever...way ahead of its time !
Thanks for the review Trinity
I was raised on a ranch so great video and yes, Hollywood has been emasculating men for decades now. Costner has never really followed the Hollywood "values" (per se), it is not surprising that he made Horizon. I recommend revisiting his other film, Open Range. Open Range continues to be entertaining and thought provoking each time I watch it; I always see something new or have a deeper understanding of what Costner was getting at. Looking forward to seeing Horizon at some point. :)
yeah... he definitely over-sold it for the interviews. imo. but i won't spoil it for you. for me, it did not have enough panoramic vistas to distract me from the plot holes.
Thank you for the honest review. My husband & I went with our 2 boys (in their early 20s). We all enjoyed & have plans to see future chapters. Amazed at the deep insightful conversation this movie allowed us to have as a family. Glad to have found your channel.
This review was spot on. I've seen it twice now, and definitely picked up some subtleties the second time I saw it.
I probably will too. Most people need a super fast action movie to keep their attention now days. I wonder if that is the problem people have with this movie, or are there just a lot of people angry with Costner for leaving Yellowstone?
I have actually saw Horizon three times. I loved it each and Everytime. Kevin Costner is genius. He is telling the story of how just how the true West . Horizon was refreshing, no politics,no LGBT shoved down our throats. This movie was spot on. The seasoned.actors and actresses were magnificent. Marigold was awesome. Hayes Costner Kevin's Son made his acting debute and rocked it.Can not wait for Horizon 2,3,4
I've been holding off seeing this movie because of the track record with major Hollywood movies in recent years, including westerns. Your video review of this film makes me really want to see it.😃
My wife and I are heading to the theater tomorrow to see it. Thank you for your review. I figured it was a better movie than the reviews given by the Hollywood critics.
We seen it today and looking forward to Part 2.
Two criticisms of Horizon: first, like Dances With Wolves, the Henry rifle is unloaded (cartridge follower is all the way to the receiver); second is the term "indigenous" rather than the period term or pejorative.
Many inacurracies ...the First Henry rifles build 1862 and the ammunition was Not found in the far west ...and all the clothes and the Colts early and later 1870s ...
theyd be cancelled if they used actual klaguage
Im so happy that you are healed and back ridding again...🇵🇷👍Great channel...
I sure am. Feeling great.
By the way , i saw the movie last night.. Great performance..👍
A few things stood out
One was Costner wanting to make this particular movie for decades. I think Yellowstone was just a means to an end.
I always liked him just for the respect he showed the author and story of Dances with Wolves. Love it or hate it, he actually made a movie that was faithful to the book.
He has an eye for detail.
Other thing was the story you told about your ancestors leaving the baby under a tree, guarded by the dog... my grandparents did that to me 🤣 my granny used to love telling the story about leaving me on a pallet while she and pappa worked in their garden. Their old white English bulldog, Lady, would stay with me the whole time. If i tried to crawl off the blanket, Lady would get up and lay down in front of me.
She was a good dog. They were the precursor to the American bulldog we have today. They could do just about any job on the homestead, including tracking and catching. A lot like heelers i guess, but less snappy. I have a heeler now who is MY dog. No others shall pass.... much less a kid.
Lastly.... i don't know how eager I am to see pioneer families getting massacred, but.... i want to support his efforts to buck the mainstream. So my question is.... what's the best part to take a bathroom break? Because three hours, holy cats! Even if i didn't buy a drink and popcorn that's a long time to hold it lol 2 hour roads trips are my limit! Wish they would bring back intermission!
My husband and I saw the movie today. It was fantastic! It was raw but beliveable. I can't imagine the courage these different groups endured.
you didn't find the millenial artist couple just a wee bit out of place? O_o?...why are they there??
I love your channel! You are right on with your opinion. I’ve watched Horizon twice and loved it both times . It’s an epic masterpiece portrayed by the amazing genius, Mr. Kevin. Yes, the Hero is projected in Horizon.❤
I absolutely agree 100% with everything you said in this video. I loved the movie and it didn’t feel like 3 hours. Costner’s character was great but so were all the other characters. Lots of incredible actors. Very excited for Part Two.
Me too. I truly hope this entire saga of 4 gets made.
Thank you for such a candid review of this movie.. I can’t wait to see it
The very best and most accurate analysis of the movie, Horizon, I have listened to. Thank you, Trinity. I saw the movie, enjoyed it thoroughly, and look forward to the next episode. Costner is a man of courage and integrity. Oh, and yes, I hated Yellowstone. In fact, I only watched a couple of episodes and knew from the get-go it was nothing but horse shit.
Now I can't wait to go see Horizon. I was hesitant to go see it because of Costner leaving Yellowstone.
I am beginning to wonder if that is a bigger issue than I thought. There may be a large crowd that is angry at Costner for leaving Yellowstone.
What’s to be angry about
@@LifeintheWestsheridan the writer is evil
I saw it. it was disjointed at best and he really sold it differently in the promos and interviews. Don't expect it to be what the interviews say it is. Like, there's parts of the movie where the timelines are so messed up that it feels like he forgot to include certain footage. There's no ''love story" for Costner's character either... he's barely in the movie at all! And so is his supposed ''love interest". They have a handful of lines together. It's basically the trailer. that's like all his scenes, plus like 1 minute of transitional footage, where they're moving from place to place.
I am SO sick and tired of people just dying to lie to the audience. It's so messed up. We're going to see it eventually and know you totally lied! Like, what' the point? I don't get it. It just disappoints people. Like, why do actors think it's their job to misrepresent their own movies?
The Horizon trailer caught my attention, but the two hour interview Costner gave on another channel sealed the deal. I watched it with my 13yr old son and we both enjoyed it, and discussed it afterwards. I've got episode two on my calendar.
If hollywood doesn’t like it, then it is definitely a awesome movie. I think Kevin Costner is one of the best men to direct and star in a western these days. I can’t wait to watch it and buy a dvd when it comes out also 👍 I agree with you about being a real man.
dude.... he iS Hollywood. I know, I know we're all desperate for something to give in hollywood. But this is just not it. Like, he's selling it to you guys as ''anti-establishment" but in reality he's very much establishment. And he's barely in this movie. And I'm pretty sure he forgot footage which should have been included for his own charater's story line!...the movie is super roughly edited. At some point Costner and co. were supposed to be camping and they're in a town camp instead. Character pop in out of nowhere too. Like... come on. The sad part is that it's lazy. Like, no one expects him to be super man. But watch the movie. Does it make sense? Bc if it doesn't, you forgot something. How stinking rich do you have to be to just forget footage in your own movie which you invested 100 million of your own money into?? O_O It's the same kind of lazy that Rings of Power was. None of these people have anything in common with any of us regular folks.
He totally mislead in the interviews too. It would be great if we had ''strong female characters". We don't. We have steroetype hooker, sterotype widow gold-digger, stereotype airhead book-worm(??) who has all the bad stuff coming to her bc she's a selfish a$$hole apparently, sterotype old-tough-lady... the list goes on.
The movie can't decide if it's a commedy or ''gritty" either. Random masacre > funny old lady chasing ppl around with her umbrella > scalping en masse > cute dating scene with shy army captain. It's about as authentic as kids playing cowboys and indians.
Did I miss something? Did your super highly educated grandmothers take their books and artsy husbands to the front and flash the entire camp at night? Bc that's a pretty wierd series of events to include in a ''classic western". She's practically making out with the washcloth. What's realistic about that?
And since when were artist bookworms ever on the frontier? Like, he's basically portraying the future r-scene like they kinda had it coming a wee bit.... Did everyone sleep through this? Come on! No one could even READ in those times! In general, not just on the frontier! Who on earth goes to the frontier to DRAW and READ?! That's just some type of very oddly specific millenial dig with the artsy couple who just want to have their tourist moment with the ''magnificent" natives. Only to have bad things happen to them bc of course they would. They're ''upper class" and clueless selfish a$$holes.
Plus, all the characters have like 5-10 min of screen time. I have no clue what their names are even... The ''tough living" is exemplified via rough soap, and a lot of supposed trauma everyone recovers from in like 2 minutes bc we only have 3 minutes of screen time left.... that's it.
Most of the stuff he talks about in the interviews is not actually IN the movie. it would be great if it was...........but it's not.
@@andrabook8758 I never looked at any of the promotional stuff that was produced for this film - I saw it cold. It was heavily edited and I do agree with some of what you say. It all depends what you are expecting from a film.
I watched Horizon and loved every minute of it!! I have been waiting for a western movie like this for a long time!! Good job, Mr Costner!! I loved it!!
I haven't seen Horizon yet, but I will for sure. Hopefully I'll have a new favorite western. I'm still hooked on Lonesome Dove and Monte Walsh ( Tom Selleck ) version after all these year's.
Love the Western movies especially by John Ford and John Wayne. Good to hear of a decent western
I was so engaged 3 hrs went by so quick, will be there on day 1 for part 2, the 1 thing I'm not sure about is calling Indians "indigenous", I don't think they used that term back them
Wasn't gonna bother finding me a chance to watch this, after what I heard about Yellowstone. You done changed my mind sir. Appreciate it!
I saw it yesterday. It sure didn't seem like 3 hours to me either. Great movie. I can't wait to see part 2.
My triple great grandfather was also in the Army following the Civil War. He was a Captain in the Norwegian Navy before immigrating to the United States. He fought the Lakota in South Dakota.
Those guys were tougher than me.
Im lakota, i fought against the foreign invaders of our land, im still figting them today.

Trinity! We haven't watched thw movie yet and we don't have tv anymore for a couple years and prior to that watch Grit Tv and watch Costners Open Range and would watch over and over again. John waynes movies are also greatto watch between t
COWBOYS and The Searchers. Movies that make us think and many westerns showing us what they're doing today such as bankers and bad cattlemen. Keep up the great work Sir!
What an insightful and intelligent review. I’m looking forward to seeing the 4 Horizon Movies. I’m in Australia and watching for the opening dates.
Thanks again for your review.
I will definitely be seeing this movie, I live in New Mexico and drove by the film sites all the time! It sounds like it's a good one thank you!
All I can tell you is that I certainly enjoyed it, but my expectations were pretty open too.
I have never seen Yellowstone so I haven’t been jaded by Costner‘s performance and that, but I did see HORIZON last week… it was an excellent movie. The character development that is so stunning and so beautiful..
the nudity was really about a woman wanting to be clean in a harsh, dry tough environment, can’t wait for part 23 and four ..
thank you Costner and all the wonderful actors!
Thanks for your thoughts and review, well done! Can’t wait to see the movie.
My Ancestors were Homesteaders and Horizon captures what struggles they went through. Kevin Costner's first chapter was a masterpiece and I can't wait to see the rest of the Horizon story.
Great review. Thank you. God bless. And you are correct about Hollywood and men in general. Time for all of us to speak up and be heard. God bless America.
Just finished watching this movie and I can not wait for the next one. Excellent movie. Beautiful scenery. Beautiful story.
Great review Trinity ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸have a great weekend!!!
Thank you very much for this clip. I agree totally with you. As a man from Sweden with a long family history from tha part of Sweden that saw two thirds of the population leave starvation to build a new life in America I was very moved by the film. Even if I was born from those that stayed I view a film like this a part of family history. Sisters, brothers, cousins, sons and daughters left their home for a new and unknown world. Many never met their relatives back home again. By the mid 1800's Sweden had three years of complete winter. Every field was frozen mid summer for three long years. All food was gone. It caused massive starvation. People where builing and eating their shoes to survive. Really brave familys left the hoime of their ancestors to build a new life in often extremely dangerous territories. I really love these people and their stories. My family was from a long line of black smiths back to the viking age. Most of them really, really tough guys. But when your milk cow starve to death and your young ones start to die you have to do something about the situation. And so they did. I am incredibly proud of them. Even if I am Swedish there is no doubt in my mind - the US is the greatest country in the world because of those that built it.
My grandfather in Sweden who's father had brothers that escaped to the US used to teach me things that my family brought with them to the US. How to make an axe, how to service it and keep it sharp, how to split timber, take down trees and how to throw it and use it as a weapon for self defence. Things young Swedish men today have no one to show them.
Great job as always Trinity! Thanks for the great review! Gonna' have to break down my 15 year boycott of movie theaters and give "Horizon" a look.
Nice review Trinity. I, like many people really respect your opinion. I look forward to seeing the movie soon.
Saw this last night with my wife & adult son-very well done and will see the next installments.
One thought for your review video-use a tripod-the handheld looks odd. and forget the side angle shot; the back and forth views of you is kinda distracting. Your review was spot on with lots of good points.
This was really well put! Thank you for sharing!
I've always liked Costner but started reversing my opinion in the recent past, I think probably because of Yellowstone. However about 2 weeks ago I seen an interview with him no correction he was standing at a podium in a tux and gave a very long talk on his family that were farmers during the depression and had to move out west and how as a boy how he loved western movies but always wanted their authenticity. Also how he used to always go over another boys house because he had a horse they could ride. It was very emotional you could hear it in his voice. I like him once again. You all really should Google that speech. 🤔
Thank you for the film recommendation. I’ll have to wait until it on tv , but can’t wait 😀
You bet.
I love your regular videos about ranching. This one showed that you really do live in the 19th century.
Well, I've spent my life being a man and living my life by being like my daddy and his daddy before him and I've raised my boys to be strong men and my little cowgirl to be a strong WOMAN but knowing the purpose of having strong men so one day when she's blessed with boys she can help raise them to be strong men. This moive was excellent and the soldiers are right out of a John Ford western.
Great review! Greetings from Wyoming. I subscribed.
I’m looking forward to seeing this movie. I can’t even imagine Costner could do a bad job. Society these days has been programmed to accept the absolute worst thru Hollywood and the crap they put out, not to mention the praise of the actors themselves.
Absolutely. From the comments I have received, I am beginning to wonder if there are a large number of people who are angry with Costner for leaving Yellowstone and that is why they are not watching this movie. Just a thought that occurred to me from reading some comments and reviews.
I think Kevin Costner has an agenda the truth I think he tried to portrayed in Dances With Wolves and that's probably why he ended up in Montana on the Yellowstone set but the guy that wrote the Yellowstone set had a different agenda which along with what's happening in our world today is merely propaganda to relieve you of your dollars or whatever else they want🎉🎉😂😢
I too was concerned Horizon would be like Yellowstone and was hesitant. I thoroughly enjoyed the film and am confused about the low scores and neg reviews. I feel like I could've watched both Horizon 1 & 2 in the same sitting. Best film I have seen since Covid and hopefully the start of more historically accurate (or somewhat) westerns to come. Glad I found your channel. Just subscribed!
Thank you you nailed it on the head regarding first part of horizon I really am looking forward to sing all of the rest of it
Thanks for the review. Now I will give the movie a chance. I had written it off as Costner has never made a convincing cowboy, though his role as a goof in Silverado seemed to fit him. Sounds like a thinking man's historicly based movie and that has me much more curious.
I loved Horizon♥️Can’t wait to see part two!!♥️🌹
I appreciate your standards (what you choose to promote on your channel). Love your videos and all the information you share about Montana and ranches in general. You mentioned watching John Wayne…. My family and I just got done watching “The Man Who ShotLiberty Valance”.🤠
I saw Yellowstone twice within four days in order to really understand the characters, their motivations and the varied plot lines. Looking forward to see how they intertwine and what happens to these different people. Costner is a great storyteller and actor. The scenery and cinematography are magnificent and his dialogue is clean and neat. There was no unnecessary violence or gratuitous sex. I felt that I got a good picture of what life was like at that time - out West it was hard and often awful. I'm so looking forward to the next chapters.
A movie review like no other. Nice job.
Thank you. Yes. I don’t know how to review a movie, so this is what I end up with. 😄
I love Kevin Costner! Have been a fan of his story telling for most of my adult life. He shows us life as it was and is or could be in these monumental story pictures. Yellowstone was written by Thomas Sheridan who has a different take on the men and women of the west who braved so much to make a life in this material world. His characters in the Yellowstone story is a totally different perception of who men and women are....showing how the woundedness and the choices of humans drives their behavior and that toughness of mind and deed are developed through life experience. Most of Costner films are about survival and what a human would do in extreme or historically extreme conditions. Kevin Costner doesn't worry about what "Follywood" thinks about him which he has made clear through the years. Have you ever watched "The Postman"?? A must for any Costner supporter!!! In my opinion he is one of pure integrity in his creations.
Hi from Québec Çanada ! Question not related to Horizon! What's your cowboy hat brand? love your channel !
My wife and I loved Horizon and are very much looking forward to part 2 in August. I thought it was a great setup for an epic western telling a real story of the west. I am also a fan of Yellowstone, understanding that it is very unrealistic and basically an east coast mobster show set in the west. I wasn't watching it for a real cowboy experience, it was just entertaining. I am a combat veteran that can also watch military movies to be entertained without being over critical because everything wasn't exactly accurate. Two things I will always watch, a western or baseball movie with Kevin Costner!!!
Such a great commentary. I loved the movie.
I’m a Native American and there has been some media “politicization” of the portrayal of the native Americans. I didn’t find it negative at all.
My people fought against Andrew Jackson in 1814. I thought the film was very matter of fact in a good way. No political statements.
My ancestors and your ancestors were fighting for survival. I’m obviously against the U.S. government removing my ancestors from their homeland to Oklahoma in 1830’s to allow settlers to take their land. Not cool BUT the film was balanced and showed the brutality of life in the 1860’s in western America. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
It’s wonderful to know there are people that understand what the pioneers went through in the West.
Amen! Finally someone who says it like it really is with Yellowstone. I could not make through the first episode let alone the whole series. Glad to hear your comments.
I'm glad TH-cam promoted your review! I give it a 4/5. Thanks for explaining that scene with the boy and the indian in the trading post.
I didn't understand why the Mexican was shot (in the back?) in the Indian village raid near the end. Any explainations?
I'm notorious for falling asleep in movies and I didn't doze off a single time.
The leader of that group of cowboys shot him because it was his horse that got loose and was noticed by the indians. If he would have tied his horse up properly, they would have backed away and not killed any of those Apaches. The horse getting loose forced that interaction.
I agree with you 💯 about Yellowstone. I, also, was hoping that Horizon wasn't like Yellowstone. Excellent movie, authentic, a Masterpiece. I've seen it twice so far.
Glad I watched this .. I had heard some bad reviews from people I know .. so I had decided to not go and watch it just wait until it is being streamed . Really should try to support anyone who makes a western now days .. I never could get into Yellowstone mainly because of what you said .. anyway really good review good job and I will try to drive to town now and see it .. Thank you
Great movie, it treats it's audience like adults and doesn't patronise them. Like you, three hours seemed to go by quickly and I can't wait for part 2 👍
Great review. I love Yellowstone and I loved Horizon. Two completely different types of stories and goal.
Amen. Love and agree with your comments. Keep up the good work. A Southern Conservative who loves The West - states in the MST zone.
Sixty years ago I ask my grandmother if it was hard back then. She said yes it was. She would plow behind the mule for a while, then go sit in the shade (I thought that she was going to tell me that she sat in the shade to rest.) to nurse the baby. That's when it hit me how easy I had it.
This movie returned my trust into American Cinematography
Thanks Trinity for sharing your thoughts on this movie and "Yellowstone " . I couldn't agree more with you about "Yellowstone " . Now you have inspired me to see "Horizons " .
I am not sure that very many people agree with me on this. I was literally the only person in the theater. Which is not good.
@@LifeintheWest Are you kidding me ? That says a lot about where our society is headed. Prayers for our country.
@@LifeintheWest I was in a small NYC theater on the 4th of July and there was a small group who watched it. I thought it was a perfectly good film to watch on Independence Day. I believe the second chapter will make some more money because this first film was a teaser for people to get reeled in for the second film. Costner is banking on Yellowstone fan base to show up at some point.
Sounds reminiscent of Lonesome Dove.
It’s Costner legacy. 👏🏼👏🏼🙏🙏
I really enjoyed Horizon a lot! Really looking forward to the next chapter.
Thank you for your break down of 'Horizon' Trinity, well said!
We saw it last weekend, I liked it and look forward to the next part. My wife was uneasy about the massacre scene, where those seeking vengeance caught up to native encampment....however, I'm afraid that behavior like that did take place and it should not be forgotten. Along with not forgetting, in the scene where a couple Cavalry officers refer to the native people as 'indigenous' or 'aboriginals', I wonder if that was common vernacular in that time....in other words, I found that 'slightly' disingenuous'.....but I'm picking fly dung from pepper here 😁
Costner don’t need Hollywoods blessing. He’s Kevin frickin Costner dude!!!
💯👍😎
