Into the West

The other day I read about how gen. Custer's flag was sold on an auction somewhere, so that led me to read about Sitting Bull which led me to this show, and I have to say that this is the best western themed show I have ever seen. Seeing that Spielberg was the executive producer made me think: "Wow, this could be great, just remember Band of Brothers..that was awesome" but then again I remembered: "Oh no, he produced Transformers.." xD so, I had mixed expectations going into this....but as soon as the first 10 minutes of the first episode passed I said to myself: "This is what I always wanted to see in a western themed show/movie.." The way they show you Indian culture and their mentality vs. the mentality of a colonist, soldier or one of a pioneer is great...really well written dialogues, characters you become attached to really make it a perfect 10 for me..moreless

I agree with many people that this is a history about the american history and its expansion into the native nation territories

10/10moreless

This is my favorite thing to watch. i probably know most of the words by now. i have seen all six episodes from start to finish. I love the into music to all of the episodes it just starts it off perfectly. This show teaches everyone alot about different cultures blending and the struggle they had and also the rewards they achieve when they dont give up their dreams. The story line is amazing and there are so many characters that interact with eachother. The whole story keeps you watching and you cant help but stay interested. I recommend this to everyone, no one can resist but like it!!!!Its AMAZING!!!moreless

I watched the mini-series on TNT. This movie blew me away. I came away from this embarrassed to be white. I think it shows the white man as the true savage. It pulls you into such a gripping story, and never lets you go. Great cast, great directing, great locations. How could anyone rate it other than a 10 ? I would recommend this film to anyone period. My wife,who is one quarter Cherokee, watches it 1 or 2 times a month. Absolutely the best ever made for TV mini-series ever produced. Stunning portrayal of just how self-centered the white man really is. The native Americans lived such a rich and satisfying life before European invasion of their land. We could learn a lot from them, about living in harmony with nature,instead of destroying it.moreless

This is one show that I certanly learnt a lot about American History. I do have to admit I did not know to much about it but Spilberg put a good twist to it so you can see what it was like in those times and how America was built. Coming for a European background it was certanly an eye openner.
