Stephen Fenske

One of the best Westerns ever

Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2020

Verified Purchase

This Western was written and acted in a way that appeals to an old fashioned sense of "right and wrong."
You did what was right, and you stood up for that regardless of the popularity of it and what people thought.
Similarly, you called out what was wrong and showed no fear standing up to it; even at your own peril.
The moral code is simple.
The acting according to that moral code is amazing.
The final showdown is just a beauty to watch.
Superior numbers dwindle in the face of fearless actions.
This one is worth your time.

It's not as bad as it looks. Robert Duvall circle of caring between men

Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2019

Two disc Open Range: full film commentary Kevin Costner is Directing 101 to understand the personal aspects of art making.

Broken Trail Robert Duvall is a second in the Western trilogy based on true stories woven into mythic and historically informative art.

Open Range is similar to Foyle's War 8 Seasons, another cinematherapy contribution based on Imperial War Museum, Mass Observation diaries collected since 1937, newspaper magazine radio archives of the Homefront during WWII: rationing which became worse AFTER WWII was complete, ongoing interpersonal conflicts, greed, vanity, profit making from war. Absorbing and understanding history through due diligence: research, interviews with curator of Imperial War Museum, collected writings of individuals in real time as the events of WWII were unfolding.

Parenthood Steve Martin Mary Steenburgen Rick Moranis Tom Hulce Keanu Reeves Dianne Wiest Jason Robards comedy Featurette with Ron Howard and writers contributes the perspective of men who become fathers at mid life and their experiences captured on film.

Documentary Halftime: Five Yale Men at Mid-life. Interviews at 25th reunion: aspirations, hopes, disappointments, cobbling together one's life after re-imagining what can still be.

Michael Jeter 50 years old (Percy) died after completion of Open Range and Polar Express.
Herb Kohler was in a difficult time in his life, and Costner offered him a role honoring his immigrant ancestors to the US, who created the Kohler plumbing company, gave living wage jobs to other immigrants which respectfully allowed other refugees to save and achieve the American dream, home ownership.
Costner honors them in his commentary.

Entire film commentary by Costner reiterates the personal nature of Memory Palaces from the Greek word mnemon meaning “to remember” Greek mythology, Mnemosyne goddess of memory. Open Range, the people, objects, relationships create time-place memories for the director. A single object, the chloroform bottle elicits the months spent cobbling together funding, writing, choosing and building locations, actors, costume, storyboarding, dressing the set for historical accuracy. Open Range is not a documentary but a collection of memory and archive from the writers, of a circle of caring, a collaboration which creates art.

The quiet and encompassing J Michael Muro cinematography allows one to glide into the comfort of a slow and unfettered lifestyle: camping, rescuing a Mexican orphan, a sheepdog puppy, and running cattle from the Mexican to the Canadian border, rain wind human greed vanity and desire for control. The storyline segues into PTSD after effects, blowback from memory of one's own actions of harm visited on others.

But the worst things, I did those to myself. Marianne Sense and Sensibility 2008.

The second disc of the Special Edition offers Making Of, deleted scenes with commentary by Costner, documentary of the actual Old West with Teddy Roosevelt, music video. Informative and add the the appreciation of the film, though the director's commentary is the most highly educational.

Gorgeous cinema, a personal tribute to a memory of collaborative art making and the value of journals, film, sculpture, photos as Memory Palaces. 5*

Believable, surprising and tender traditional western story

Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2017

Verified Purchase

Kevin Costner directed this movie, and co-starred in it with Robert Duvall and Annette Benning. The movie is one of my husband's and my two favorite Westerns. The other is Silverado. Kevin Costner played another type of cowboy in Silverado -- young, feisty and so full of high spirits that he gets into trouble. "All I did was kiss a girl!"
In Open Range, Costner plays another Western character: the former gunslinger who just wants to help his boss get the herd across open range to market. On the way, they have to fight some truly evil characters, while the townsfolk mostly leave town or hide. We've seen this story before, but never in a more believable and heartfelt performance -- especially the depiction of what three basically good persons might do or say when it looks like time is running out for them.

Open Range French Release Blu-Ray - Works Great!

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2015

Verified Purchase

I had some anxiety purchasing a French release of this great film. The specs stated "All Regions", but the editorial review recommended a Multi region PAL/NTSC player. My player is not - certainly it cannot play PAL format discs. But the disc plays without a problem. The only issue is changing the default French language to English:

In the Main Menu select Les Versions (setup)
Select DTS Master Audio VO (English)
Select Sous-Titres Francais: Sans (French subtitles: None)
Select Le Film (play film)

Puzzled

Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2019

Great movie! But for virtually every blue ray player we need to wait and hope for a copy that can be played in the US. Don't buy the copy that shows the small green sticker on the left hand side, unless you want to go to Germany, or some European country to watch it. Maybe they should enclose free airline tickets.
I don't understand why such an amazing American movie doesn't have a copy for the USA. I hope that it comes out in Criterion, or better still in 4k for the beautiful cinematography.
Anyway I have to return mine.

A Quality Western Tale, Well Told and Very Well Acted

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2017

Verified Purchase

Let me keep this simple: A damned fine Western with quality actors, a decent story line, and thoughtfully composed. I will remember many of the scenes, but the distance shot of the 'towns people' chasing and shooting at one of the 'bad fellows' is a classic in my view.

Gripping western

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 20, 2021

'Open Range' is an old-fashioned, slow-moving and beautifully made western. I'd almost resigned myself to the fact that 'they don't make 'em like that anymore', but very occasionally they still do. I regard 'Dances with Wolves', 'Unforgiven', 'Tombstone' and 'Open Range' as the best westerns made over the past 40 years. Recommended.

Excellent Western - Thouroughly Enjoyable

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

This western has very soft & acceptable undertones? Two nice guys with values, a love interest for Kev, a loyalty to look after those around you – God damn it, there are even dogs in this film! I mean, what’s right is right ain’t it and if it offends you, then it needs sorting out don’t it?
Even allowing for all of these rather uncowboyish traits, there are still lots of nasty baddies, a good story line and the last hour is a real blast as the guns come out. The cinematography is lovely on the eye.
This is a really enjoyable film to watch, especially so if you like happy endings? This film doesn’t have the cutting edge of, say, ‘The 3.10 to Yuma’ but in its own way it’s still thoroughly enjoyable - it just has a much softer approach that’s all.

Blu Ray is in subtitles.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 18, 2021

The blu Ray reviews are the same as the dvd reviews. The product description is German and English. No mention of subtitles up front.
I got the bue Ray as the reviews were so good and never spoke about subtitles. So using dvd reviews for the blu Ray is very devious. I trust this review gets posted.

A great Western from Costner, Duvall, Bening and Gambon.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 3, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is a thoroughly entertaining western focussing on the confrontation between ranchers and `free range' cattlemen. As this film is directed by Kevin Costner, the story is given the time to develop fully, with a run time of about 2 and a quarter hours. Costner has never been afraid to allow the story to unfold at a more leisurely pace, allowing time to develop characters and plot. He is often criticised for this, usually by `professional' critics, who all apparently have an attention span of 90 minutes or less (or maybe they forgot to bring their haemorrhoid cushion!!). I for one applaud him for being brave enough to give the time to a story and the characters and not short-change the paying customer, by going for the quick thrill. This does not mean that the film just proceeds at a snail's pace, as there should be enough action to suit most people.

Robert Duvall provides excellent value as the grizzled trail boss (a character he seems to excel in), Costner as the trail hand with a past, and Annette Bening as the sister of the town doctor who provides a thoughtful, integrated and finally romantic link to the proceedings. Michael Gambon is also very good as the obsessed and unscrupulous rancher who clashes with Duvall and Costner. The supporting cast perform well and succeed in fleshing out the story to provide a great film. The gunfight towards the end feels realistic and believable, without dwelling over-much on the blood and gore.

This is a damn good film and one to keep in your collection. we have watched it a few times and still find it great entertainment for an evening.

Highly recommended!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 26, 2013

Verified Purchase

Since the days of Lonesome Dove, Robert Duvall has made something of a speciality of playing an ageing cowboy fighting for his rights in the old west. Here we have Open Range, which like Broken Trail that followed it, is set against a back drop of the beautiful and expansive terrain of Alberta, Canada, which doubles as the sprawling prairies of the mid-west. The common scenario is that of driving a large herd of cattle (or horses) and dealing with various bad men on the way. In this case he is directed very ably by Kevin Costner, who also stars. The main bad guy is Michael Gambon who, as a ruthless landowner, objects to the US government's policy of free grazing rights on the open prairie. It is a very well made, and directed, western which culminates in a major extended shoot out, arguably the best in the western genre. The love interest is provided by Annette Bening, who puts in a very strong performance. All in all, an entertaining and satisfying movie. Highly recommended.
