I liked this movie. The generation acting was a good touch. You might want to start 8 mins in and there is a 5 min intermission in the middle.

It would be hard put to describe another movie anywhere ever made in the western genre that not only gives the sweeping depth and scope of what America's beauty and potential was as a new frontier, but also the challenges she faced as a young growing nation.Through the eyes and lives of both parents and grandchildren this film helps us experience up close and personal the thrills, tragedies, challenges and sheer magnitude of changes that many of our very own countrymen must have experienced just three or four lifetimes away from us.While we have our celebrities now days we almost worship, this film has the golden stars of Hollywood who truly crafted the art of acting, with great directing, gorgeous locations and music. It's aim is to tell the larger story of the settling and building of the west, so expect some romance to be thrown in.But considering you are going to be seeing what occurs through the history of one family, it does give a very memorable and dramatic vista unlike anything one will ever find elsewhere. This just makes me appreciate all the more what my ancestors endured when they came here. 5/5

This is a wide eyed wow kind of movie. Another classic western we use to sit on the floor up close to the tv to experience.
