![]() ![]() You'd miss a lot if you think of this film as simply a `show' or even entertainment. ![]() ![]() Yeah, it would be tough, but you know that Gus and Woodrow would be faithful friend who'd have the gumption to tell you the truth, even if it hurt a bit or a lot. You want to stop the film and get on your own horse to ride along with Gus and Woodrow. This film is six hours long, if you think of things that way, but really, it's far too short. They off and go to Montana, along the way meeting death, life, former loves and new loves, and witnessing the closing of the American frontier. Some prodding by a former partner gets them off their front porch and up in the saddle again, guiding a herd of cattle and of horses, a passle of men, a boy, and a lady of the night. Gus McCrae and Woodrow Call are retired Texan Rangers, holed up in the small, dusty south Texas town of Lonesome Dove, a town with less going on than the nearby Rio Grande. Lonesome Dove tells the story of friendship, love, tragedy, life, change, the frontier, the passing of generations. ![]()
