IMO this shootouts of 40 years ago were better done than they do today! Brutal and realistic without CGI.

That’s because they used horse blood, blown up a horse, killed many horse, disembowelled cows.

Nate Champion was neither a cattle rustler nor a hired killer. He was a legitimate rancher and a brave man.

Champion’s last stand is my favorite part of the movie, it’s so well made, I cried when I saw him dying, Christopher Walken is amazing

@@eronifitiao6660 Because he decided to stand up for the immigrants that were set to be eliminated, and especially because he was in love with one of them.

Not the usual role for Sam Waterston, but he was a very effective villain.

Christopher Walken notorious hated guns - this must have been torture.

Fascinating how most of them are using 1860 Henry repeating rifles. Presumably with the 44. Henry round. I liked the film. Truly classic material.

The movie deals with the origin of a Nation, that persists today, that deals with great contrasts: University, big city, normal life...but in appearence...then violence, guns, shooting and cruel murdering...all in a context of a beautiful nature background of the Wyoming.

Every frame on this movie is almost or perfect.

sad that this film was so misunderstood when it came out. over indulgent at points, but it's not a bad film, and sad that it essentially ruined someone's career, think about the great films we never got because of this film's production.

Honestly Cimino did it to himself by being so obsessed with details and being perfectionist, skyrocketing the budget and bankrupting United Artists. The movie may be good or not, but you can't deny Cimino's perfectionism was responsible for why the movies are so different nowadays

How do you know they were real? It was never proven that they actually died. Wikipedia says... "The film was marred by accusations of cruelty to animals during production. One assertion was that live horses were bled from the neck without giving them pain-killers so that their blood could be collected and smeared upon the actors in a scene. The American Humane Association (AHA) asserted that four horses were killed and many more injured during a battle scene. It was claimed that one of the horses was blown up by dynamite. This footage appears in the final cut of the film. The AHA was barred from monitoring the animal action on the set. According to the AHA, the owner of an abused horse filed a lawsuit against the producers, director, Partisan Productions, and the horse wrangler. The owner cited wrongful injury and breach of contract for willfully depriving her Arabian gelding of proper care. The suit cited "the severe physical and behavioral trauma and disfigurement" of the horse. The case was settled out of court."

I ain’t gonna lie but this film is actually kinda a guilty pleasure when it comes western films. Yes it’s too long. Yes the production history behind it is... quite disturbing. But other than that I actually still love this western film despite it’s main problems. May Clint Eastwood shoot me if I’m wrong.🏜🤠
