A beautiful and well acted film.

I was very moved by the story and message of this movie. It's especially important today with so many different people with conflicting points of view and how we can still come together as human beings and learn to live together and love each other despite our differences. The cinematography was excellent. I felt such a connection between the earth and the people and how important nature is to our well being. I thought the acting was great. The kids did a great job especially in the scene with the dog and the trap. This movie would be a great addition to anyone's DVD collection especially since it is appropriate for everyone in the family. Thanks for a great western.
