If one is not too "format specific" and doesn't mind calling a 6 hour mini series a 'movie" Lonesome Dove is easily the best Western ever made and before the great HBO and AMC series' (The Wire, Deadwood, The Sopranos, Breaking Bad etc.) was the highest point television ever reached. Other reviewers who have written on the high points of television over the years before streaming video existed pretty much agree.
First of all, the chemistry between Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones (in by far their greatest performances ever) has to be seen to be believed. If friendship contains an element of love, then this is also one of the greatest love stories of all time, even though there is never the slightest hint of any kind of "romantic" attraction between the two (as in Brokeback Mountain for example). Just as often as not they seem irritated by one another, but I have seen many love affairs between men and women in which that is how they show their love for one another. In any case it is a miracle of the craft of acting.
There must have been some magic going on while this was being filmed because the same sort of chemistry among the supporting cast runs throughout the movie as well. Frederick Forrest plays one of the most menacing villains of all time, Diane Lane is absolutely beautiful, tough and vulnerable as the town prostitute (although one wonders how such a lovely woman would wind up in such a situation), Danny Glover delivers his best performance of all time as the humble, kind-to-a fault "Deets" etc. The acting accolades are too numerous to totally recount. Only Robert Urich seems to be slightly miscast as Jake Spoon if you are looking for a portrayal of the character that is more in line with Larry McMurty's great book. Who cares? Not me.
Speaking of which: the movie is fairly faithful to the book, but takes certain parts of the story and sequences them differently. For once this works out for the better especially when you reach the film's magnificent ending. It really could not possibly have been done better and is guaranteed to bring a lump to your throat and make your hair stand on end, whereas the ending of the book is somewhat anti climactic. As a matter of fact, as great of an author as Larry McMurtry is it is generally conceded among fans of "The Western" that the mini series is far better than the book, which is far more about things winding down (entropy) and becomes very flat in many parts.
Now that such a long time has passed since its original broadcast I know there are many people out there now who love the Western genre who have never seen Lonesome Dove or perhaps have never even heard of it. I don't want to spoil it for them by describing the plot in any more detail. Suffice it to say that if you are into making "5 best lists" you are going to have to redo most of them after watching this.
It starts a little slow and takes its time unfolding but even though I consider myself to be a pretty hard core Texan who wears cowboy boots and a cowboy hat most days I couldn't make it to work after having made the mistake of watching the fourth and final episode before I went to bed the first time I saw the series. You will know why when you watch it.
And do watch it. It is still the greatest Western of all time and one of the most stunning "movies" ever made in any genre. Watch out though; the level of tragedy and true pathos rises to about as high a level as it can get during the 3rd and 4th episodes. If you miss work or school because they hit you too hard get in touch and I'll write a letter to your boss or teacher. My sister, for example, can't watch it because it hits her TOO hard.
I should add that the audio and video quality of the Amazon streaming version are absolutely superb and of far, far higher quality than the VHS version of Lonesome Dove that got me addicted to this work of high, high art in the first place.
I would give it 7 stars if I could because I doubt if anybody will ever be able to recreate the magic that Lonesome Dove contains.
Absolutely magnificent! I don't plan on getting stranded on a desert island anytime soon, but if I was I would want "Lonesome Dove," "The Wire" and "Breaking Bad"with me above anything else that has ever been filmed. That ought to give you some idea of the quality of this great American Masterpiece.
Like it was on television, each disc contains separate video chapters sans the commercials. I see no reason why they couldn't have edited the movie to be one long film rather than have to go to the next episode and re watch all the credits both beginning and end.
The video transfer does not look like a transfer at all, I doubt if there was any remastering for blu ray but rather just a transcoding to the Blu Ray codec. While I did not find it disturbing because the film itself engrosses you, there is doubtfully much difference between the standard DVD and the Blu Ray version. There is a good deal of grain throughout the film and the soft color resolution convinces me that not much has been done with this film when they decided to go to Blu Ray. Eventually, you don't notice the graininess but it is there. There is a scene in the 3rd episode where there is a very long pan from right to left of the cattle herd. This scene made me a bit dizzy with the blur and waviness of the pan; an example of the lack of effort that went into the remastering to Blu Ray.
The audio is Dolby Digital 5.1, a lossy audio and most of it is across the front audio stage with very little of anything other than the music score being diverted to the rear channels. When I did hear some discreet FX of the cattle mooing from the rears it actually surprised me as there had been so little throughout the film.
Never the less, I am glad that I have this movie but would not necessarily recommend it vs the standard DVD version.
All my movie reviews are of this nature and focus only on the quality of the transfer to BluRay so check them and see if they are of help as well.
Hopefully, this review has been of some help to you in determining your purchase, hope I am on the correct path with a review of the transfer quality as opposed to providing plot summaries.
Thanks
