Summary: lonesome trail
Comment: I thouroughly enjoyed this 2 disc feature. Robert Duvall just keeps getting better and better at this type of role he plays. I could still see glimpse's of old Gus McCrae in him. I particularly noted the diabolical scheme of infection ridden blankets being issued out to the American Indians. I'm glad this movie has brought the attention of the poor suffering Asian's to light also.

Summary: Soulful Oriental Western
Comment: This movie takes place when the west was no longer as open as it had been or the Indians as wild. The plight of Chinese women sold into slavery is just as bad today as it was then?
The filming and acting is great, but this version is kind of slow as westerns go. I liked it and enjoyed the history of the drive
of horses across open country.
The bad guys are really bad and the good ones are just kinda nice...

Summary: A FASCINATING TAKE ON THE WESTERN TALE.
Comment: After all the westerns ever made, you'd think that they'd run out of good ideas after a while. But "Broken Trail" proves that there is still life, and fresh blood, to be seen in THE American film genre. The three-hour film finds an uncle and nephew running a herd of horses to Wyoming, and unexpectedly become guardians of five Oriental women meant to become prostitutes. The journey that they all take together is a truly fascinating one, which has never been covered in this genre before.
While the storytelling and cinematography are great, the two highlights are the casting and the music. Robert Duvall and Thomas Haden Church are fantastic as the two male leads, and well-deserved the Emmys they won for their roles. The strong supporting cast, of which there are too many to name here, do fantastic as well. The score by David Mansfield and Van Dyke Parks is truly memorable, and adds to the strengths of this epic piece.
As a fan of the western, I truly enjoyed "Broken Trail." If you enjoy this genre, and the acting talents of Duvall and Haden Church, then you'll enjoy it as well.

Comment: I enjoy a great Weatern especially one starring Robert Duvall.
I now have, what he calls his trilogy viz. Lonesome Dove, Open Range, and now Broken Trail.
Robert Duvall and Clint Eastwood Weaterns are thoroughly enjoyable.
I should like to mention I find Amazon provide an excellent service including s perfect follow-up to the purchase.
