If you enjoy being touched and entertained by a movie, and yet you refuse to see this one because you "don't like westerns", then you are doing yourself the biggest disservice I can imagine. I GUARANTEE this film is not what you expect! I GUARANTEE you will be moved and affected by this powerful film. Hey, *I* have historically not enjoyed westerns, but this is quite possibly my all time favorite movie.
I almost want to say this is not a "western" - just an superb realistic adventure which happens to take place in the "west." It is an incredible story about real people living through a very true and difficult era of our country. (The late 1800's American West.)
The characters are REAL and HUMAN, often flawed and heroic at once. There is not a single moment in the film that feels forced or overly dramatized. The characters never do anything against their nature for dramatic effect.
"Lonesome Dove" is about people; about life; about love, faith, and perseverance in hard times. It succeeds in demonstrating these things through human drama, realistic adventure, and touching humor.
