Appaloosa? Ed Harris not only gave a great performance, but wrote and directed. He was quite a stickler for detail.
Tom Sellack's work holds up, I think.
I enjoyed the sets, firearms, clothing, storyline, just about everything was perfect in the Deadwood series but I couldn't get past the horrible language. I expected it in The Sopranos but not in Deadwood. Just ruined what could have been a great show.
Hands down little house on the praire! Everyones bored, hot and sad. Very authentic
There have been lots of topics about favorite westerns, or best westerns, but I didn't see anything for most historically accurate westerns? My own research turned up a few candidates:The Culpepper Cattle CompanyUnforgivenDances with WolvesAll of them have some issues (Unforgiven references a .30-30 twelve years before it was invented, and Dances With Wolves got some tribal details wrong due to a change in shooting locations, among other things). Are there any other good ones people can recommend?
From what I've heard, they used the language to show offensive such a town would have been to folks of the period. Had they used the authentic language, everyone would have sounded like Yosemite Sam and the modern audience wouldn't have understood how shocking and offensive a frontier boom town like that was. Given that reasoning, I solidly approve.Having said that, the show is certainly not for everyone, and I don't blame anyone who turns away from it for the language.
Read or watch Little Big Man. It's all about being kidnapped by Native Americans and the 'rescued'. Totally Hilarious.
Excellent movie, but I think there is a bit too much "literary license" taken
