Watch Into the West For Free

Overrated and overhyped

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

If I could give this more than 10, I would, a lot more! It was without a doubt the most exciting, thought-provoking, heartening, historically correct and gripping TV series I have ever had the pleasure of watching. It was lovely to see an unbiased account of what life was like for two sides of the fight, and it was wonderful to really warm to and become fond of the various characters (and trust me, there are plenty). Some would automatically think the second they heard it was produced by Steven Spielberg that it would be all 'airy-fairy' and patriotic, but that sense is not put across at all. The messages are of course heart warming at times and sorrowful at others, but surely that just goes with life?! Furthermore, the visual cinematography and scenes were absolutely phenomenal, and each episode seemed to grip me as intensely as the previous ones had done so. Each second, I felt completely entwined in the action and warming stories being portrayed. It had me crying a lot, but this is the only thing I can find is bad (and its not always a bad thing). It was incredible, and I am going to scream it from the roof tops until it gets the recognition it deserves! I can't help feeling that it was almost wasted on television, but then again we were due a genius new TV series at some point. I loved it! Everyone watch it, buy it, preach it!! It will have you talking about it for years.

does anyone know if naomi is in any other scenes after the birth of her Indian baby with her Indian husband. Do we see this child grow up or is that it for Kerri Russell's character. Does her Indian village get destroyed like the rest of the villages? I have the DVD but think i have missed any more scenes with her family in it. On the DVD boxed set there is also a picture with her holding a toddler's hand who is Indian which makes me think that she is in the movie more or it could be in deleted scenes. Her character is very interesting and I would have liked to known what happened to their family and how this new life affected her and if any of her family ever heard from her again.If anyone knows the answers to these questions please answer them for me!!! Thanks!!!

Although the US has not a recorded history of 2000 years,there weren't less chaos and misery as it grew up.The west before exploration was almost an alien land of this planet for white settlers.Rifles cables railway and diseases changed all of these,and destroyed the world where simple innocent Indians lived.We who survive a regular society today hardly suppose things occurred 150 years ago.Everybody could pick up golds on the riverbed,raid fortune no matter whom it belonged to,kill "savages" with decrees from the "Washington Father".That was how the western part of the country began,with the efforts by Chinese,Indians,Irish,Germen,Italians and so on,beyond races,religions,languages,sabotaging old peoples,merging a new people,far from freedom and democracy.(Somehow Chinese do contribute to the US,which was scarcely mentioned)Spielburg gave us a mini picture of the Wheelers as well as America,which shock me and let me know the other side of America.We can't blame ancestors for what they had done in the old days but we can surely understand what we can do today on the earth.

This made for TV movie was so good, I had to watch all 6 one and a half hours parts back to back with only short breaks in between a few episodes.Into the West opens with a very graphically impressive sequence that really give you a feel of the times. This is carried on throughout the whole series. Everything about the film is as if it were from the time that the film depicts. Never does modern America rear its ugly head.The acting is also of a very high quality, which is very impressive considering the film has many times more actors than your average film. One thing that does take away from this was the need for the use of older actors to give the characters the appearance of aging. For some of the more obscure characters, it is sometimes difficult to tell who's who.As for the storyline, you could expect noting less from William Mastrosimone. It is packed with emotion, adventure, action, oppression and history.With the beautiful scenery, what more could you want.This film will be particularly popular with people who like films set in the past.
