I am 73 years young! I live on the southern end of the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee! I loved your presentation! I was chopping cotton at 5 years old in western Alabama! Out house, shallow well poor pay etc. Didn’t know We were poor! I was much happier then in cut off jeans and a field hand straw hat! 25 cents for a half day work as a child! Our country is devoid of true constitutional freedom! It is our fault we have not followed our constitution and stood up to our elected officials and held them to account! Stand up America! Fight to restore our God given rights!!

[@jimmyrhodes1808]

Thanks for your ideas especially from a true western perspective. I just don't understand why Sheridan, Costner & others in Yellowstone have to take God's name in vain to think in doing so they need to in order to make a good movie !

I am so glad you are promoting this movie, because we need more of these movies. I went to watch Horizon on the released date. My friend, & myself were the only ones in the theater. Don't get me wrong I was happy that I didn't have any interruptions from rude people, but was sad to know people don't appreciate good films like this. I truly love it, & enjoyed the 3hrs of this film. I truly hope, & pray this turns around for Kevin Costner, & more people go support, & watch on release date.

[@slightlystrombeck]

Please GO see this movie! It was so good! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@EjaBe23]

I totally agree with your comments about Horizon. You and I saw the same Part 1 movie. The beauty of the west was shown so well. I grew up in western Kansas, lived in southwestern Wyoming (Jackson Hole) and now in Arizona, 50 miles from the Grand Canyon. I thought to myself-many people from back east have no idea what the west really looks like-it’s harsh beauty. We, living out here can too easily take the beauty of west for granted. This movie reminds us to keep looking at the plains, the mountains, and the skies! I look forward to Part 2 Horizon. Thanks for your “in depth” review.

[@atticuskilby515]

I grew up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and spent a good deal of my life on the East Coast in 4 locations. My life has taken me all over this country and overseas to a certain extent. In the last 2 1/2 years I have been traveling the West, house and creature sitting. This exploration has given me a newfound appreciation for the diversity of landscapes of our country and for the people who inhabit them. The American West is so very special and I am quite in love with it. There is no way that I could return to the East to live.

[@Sueg4332]

love this video! I am 75 years old yes (old) feel all 75 years. If I was born in that era I would probably be a Annie Oakly. But I loved the strong men and women that took care of their children. They did what they needed to do to survive. They didn't put their hand to the government to support them. Of course you still had the greedy and the bad guys. Plus the dogs even had a purpose and jobs. I think it is called pride in ones self. I watch these mothers now days on Welfare. Go get their nails and botox on pay day of their check. The children are out of food by the 15th. Welfare is ok for a hand up. Not a life style. The subject is to detailed to get into.

[@LifeintheWest]

Yes. I see the purpose for welfare, as I do for many laws and programs. The problem is that they are abused so much that they no longer serve the purpose they were created for.

[@RonnDogg9900]

We've learned over the years living in the rural outskirts of Tucson that it is best to leave wildlife to their means of survival without trying to "help" them. Besides setting out water in the worst heat of the summer, we just observe and let them fend for themselves. We've learned not to judge animal behavior using human standards of morals and ethics, and we've learned a great deal from simply observing them and not interfering. We've learned that on their own they're incredibly well adapted, resourceful and resilient, and the less wary and more numerous of them become prey. Sometimes it's a matter good luck and bad luck. We incorporate these lessons in our own lives. We don't expect anyone to come to our rescue. We're also truly on our own, and act like it. We're going to watch this movie and I am confident we'll relate to it.

[@debbiechristiansen7130]

@@RonnDogg9900all a good concept! But we must keep at the idea that it doesn’t give us free rein to overlook the needs of the hurting needy people because we have put them in the class of welfare riders! Some are actually trying to make better of themselves. Prayer is the best way to know the shyster from the true seeker of Christ. Hard road to tow!

[@LauraDiamondWise]

59-year-old disabled veteran here. I feel my years on me, too, but I see the scars as lessons learned. I can’t imagine my life without them, and I wouldn’t want to, either. My son is 27 years old and challenged with autism. I raised him on my own, with very little help, so I kept us close to the city, so that I could have access to various facilities for him, like the Y, for instance. It paid off, too. He was a member of a BSA group that specialized in western acting, and he was gifted with three very strong men of integrity as mentors, to whom he is still connected with today. He wants to learn survival skills and be a veterinarian technician. His autistic challenges have slowed him down a bit, but he’s determined to meet his goals and live his life to the fullest, and he’s not seeking handouts, but he does take the occasional hand-up. I couldn’t ask for better son.

[@Utah57668]

Agreed...I saw 1 episode of Yellowstone and that was enough for me. A western soap opera imo.

[@lindashepherd3968]

Spot on, Trinity! I loved Horizon! It is well adapted and shows many facets of the West at that time as you pointed out. Costner didn’t care if he was meeting Hollywood’s norms, or would get rave reviews or not or break bank in profits opening weekend. That wasn’t important to him. It was important to tell a story as true to the time, people and place as it could be told in the most authentic way. That was his concept and I believe he achieved it. I loved it. It was refreshing to have a filmmaker stay true to his project and not to Hollywood or some other agenda!

[@jodykwasniewicz6021]

I absolutely agree about your assessment of Yellowstone. It was so distracting and lacking intelligent verbal content, I couldn’t get through an episode. The movie Horizon kept my attention throughout. Episode 1 sets the stage for the 3 episodes to follow. I’ve marked my calendar to watch for episode 2 to be released mid August.

[@LifeintheWest]

It definitely left me wanting to find out what happens next. For sure!!

[@andrabook8758]

this is helping me decide on this movie, thank you! I was a little on the fence about it. But I think I'll give it a chance now. I just did not have it in me to watch another movie where I need to ignore the plot bc the main draw is the setting! Like I love the landscapes but hate the characters so I constantly need to almost edit the movie on the go. Dunno if anyone else does that, but that was Yellowstone for me. the newer spin off series were a bit better...but still. It was hard. LOOOL!

[@thebobster2024]

I have not gone to a movie in over 20 years once I started seeing the hidden agendas each contained. I no longer considered them as entertainment. Instead it became obvious how they were being used to promote a particular point of view to influence and re-direct our culture through manipulation.

[@KathyHecht-bm3xk]

As someone who loves quality Westerns that are willing to show the true story warts and all this is such a breathe of fresh air. Movies like the Searchers, Conagher, Bury my heart at Wounded Knee, and Hostiles all tell complex stories with flawed characters who try to live their lives in difficult times that require difficult choices. I have been a Costner fan since Dances with Wolves and that was reaffirmed with Open Range. I have been a Yellowstone fan but I totally agree the creud language, nudity, and the over the top violence were unnecessary and I could have done without it. I just wish that Horizon was completed so it could be watched start to finish.

[@RabbiSteve1]

Thank you for this review. I was already planning on seeing this coming week. But your review confirmed even more how much I will likely love this. Looking forward to all 12 hours of this when he gets all done.

[@Hy-Brasil]

A few things stood out One was Costner wanting to make this particular movie for decades. I think Yellowstone was just a means to an end. I always liked him just for the respect he showed the author and story of Dances with Wolves. Love it or hate it, he actually made a movie that was faithful to the book. He has an eye for detail. Other thing was the story you told about your ancestors leaving the baby under a tree, guarded by the dog... my grandparents did that to me 🤣 my granny used to love telling the story about leaving me on a pallet while she and pappa worked in their garden. Their old white English bulldog, Lady, would stay with me the whole time. If i tried to crawl off the blanket, Lady would get up and lay down in front of me. She was a good dog. They were the precursor to the American bulldog we have today. They could do just about any job on the homestead, including tracking and catching. A lot like heelers i guess, but less snappy. I have a heeler now who is MY dog. No others shall pass.... much less a kid. Lastly.... i don't know how eager I am to see pioneer families getting massacred, but.... i want to support his efforts to buck the mainstream. So my question is.... what's the best part to take a bathroom break? Because three hours, holy cats! Even if i didn't buy a drink and popcorn that's a long time to hold it lol 2 hour roads trips are my limit! Wish they would bring back intermission!

[@karafisher9546]

I was raised on a ranch so great video and yes, Hollywood has been emasculating men for decades now. Costner has never really followed the Hollywood "values" (per se), it is not surprising that he made Horizon. I recommend revisiting his other film, Open Range. Open Range continues to be entertaining and thought provoking each time I watch it; I always see something new or have a deeper understanding of what Costner was getting at. Looking forward to seeing Horizon at some point. :)

[@andrabook8758]

yeah... he definitely over-sold it for the interviews. imo. but i won't spoil it for you. for me, it did not have enough panoramic vistas to distract me from the plot holes.

[@MartinMunthe]

Thank you very much for this clip. I agree totally with you. As a man from Sweden with a long family history from tha part of Sweden that saw two thirds of the population leave starvation to build a new life in America I was very moved by the film. Even if I was born from those that stayed I view a film like this a part of family history. Sisters, brothers, cousins, sons and daughters left their home for a new and unknown world. Many never met their relatives back home again. By the mid 1800's Sweden had three years of complete winter. Every field was frozen mid summer for three long years. All food was gone. It caused massive starvation. People where builing and eating their shoes to survive. Really brave familys left the hoime of their ancestors to build a new life in often extremely dangerous territories. I really love these people and their stories. My family was from a long line of black smiths back to the viking age. Most of them really, really tough guys. But when your milk cow starve to death and your young ones start to die you have to do something about the situation. And so they did. I am incredibly proud of them. Even if I am Swedish there is no doubt in my mind - the US is the greatest country in the world because of those that built it. My grandfather in Sweden who's father had brothers that escaped to the US used to teach me things that my family brought with them to the US. How to make an axe, how to service it and keep it sharp, how to split timber, take down trees and how to throw it and use it as a weapon for self defence. Things young Swedish men today have no one to show them.

My wife and I loved Horizon and are very much looking forward to part 2 in August. I thought it was a great setup for an epic western telling a real story of the west. I am also a fan of Yellowstone, understanding that it is very unrealistic and basically an east coast mobster show set in the west. I wasn't watching it for a real cowboy experience, it was just entertaining. I am a combat veteran that can also watch military movies to be entertained without being over critical because everything wasn't exactly accurate. Two things I will always watch, a western or baseball movie with Kevin Costner!!!

The very best and most accurate analysis of the movie, Horizon, I have listened to. Thank you, Trinity. I saw the movie, enjoyed it thoroughly, and look forward to the next episode.

If hollywood doesn’t like it, then it is definitely a awesome movie. I think Kevin Costner is one of the best men to direct and star in a western these days. I can’t wait to watch it and buy a dvd when it comes out also 👍 I agree with you about being a real man.

[@andrabook8758]

dude.... he iS Hollywood. I know, I know we're all desperate for something to give in hollywood. But this is just not it. Like, he's selling it to you guys as ''anti-establishment" but in reality he's very much establishment. And he's barely in this movie. And I'm pretty sure he forgot footage which should have been included for his own charater's story line!...the movie is super roughly edited. At some point Costner and co. were supposed to be camping and they're in a town camp instead. Character pop in out of nowhere too. Like... come on. The sad part is that it's lazy. Like, no one expects him to be super man. But watch the movie. Does it make sense? Bc if it doesn't, you forgot something. How stinking rich do you have to be to just forget footage in your own movie which you invested 100 million of your own money into?? O_O It's the same kind of lazy that Rings of Power was. None of these people have anything in common with any of us regular folks. He totally mislead in the interviews too. It would be great if we had ''strong female characters". We don't. We have steroetype hooker, sterotype widow gold-digger, stereotype airhead book-worm(??) who has all the bad stuff coming to her bc she's a selfish a$$hole apparently, sterotype old-tough-lady... the list goes on. The movie can't decide if it's a commedy or ''gritty" either. Random masacre > funny old lady chasing ppl around with her umbrella > scalping en masse > cute dating scene with shy army captain. It's about as authentic as kids playing cowboys and indians. Did I miss something? Did your super highly educated grandmothers take their books and artsy husbands to the front and flash the entire camp at night? Bc that's a pretty wierd series of events to include in a ''classic western". She's practically making out with the washcloth. What's realistic about that? And since when were artist bookworms ever on the frontier? Like, he's basically portraying the future r-scene like they kinda had it coming a wee bit.... Did everyone sleep through this? Come on! No one could even READ in those times! In general, not just on the frontier! Who on earth goes to the frontier to DRAW and READ?! That's just some type of very oddly specific millenial dig with the artsy couple who just want to have their tourist moment with the ''magnificent" natives. Only to have bad things happen to them bc of course they would. They're ''upper class" and clueless selfish a$$holes. Plus, all the characters have like 5-10 min of screen time. I have no clue what their names are even... The ''tough living" is exemplified via rough soap, and a lot of supposed trauma everyone recovers from in like 2 minutes bc we only have 3 minutes of screen time left.... that's it. Most of the stuff he talks about in the interviews is not actually IN the movie. it would be great if it was...........but it's not.

[@LifeintheWest]

I am beginning to wonder if that is a bigger issue than I thought. There may be a large crowd that is angry at Costner for leaving Yellowstone.

I saw it. it was disjointed at best and he really sold it differently in the promos and interviews. Don't expect it to be what the interviews say it is. Like, there's parts of the movie where the timelines are so messed up that it feels like he forgot to include certain footage. There's no ''love story" for Costner's character either... he's barely in the movie at all! And so is his supposed ''love interest". They have a handful of lines together. It's basically the trailer. that's like all his scenes, plus like 1 minute of transitional footage, where they're moving from place to place. I am SO sick and tired of people just dying to lie to the audience. It's so messed up. We're going to see it eventually and know you totally lied! Like, what' the point? I don't get it. It just disappoints people. Like, why do actors think it's their job to misrepresent their own movies?

Thank you you nailed it on the head regarding first part of horizon I really am looking forward to sing all of the rest of it

[@Choccy772]

What an insightful and intelligent review. I’m looking forward to seeing the 4 Horizon Movies. I’m in Australia and watching for the opening dates. Thanks again for your review.

[@tommyetaylor]

Thank you for the film recommendation. I’ll have to wait until it on tv , but can’t wait 😀

[@LifeintheWest]

You bet.

[@freedommeow]

I will definitely be seeing this movie, I live in New Mexico and drove by the film sites all the time! It sounds like it's a good one thank you!

[@LifeintheWest]

All I can tell you is that I certainly enjoyed it, but my expectations were pretty open too.

[@yankeedoodledarling9232]

I saw Yellowstone twice within four days in order to really understand the characters, their motivations and the varied plot lines. Looking forward to see how they intertwine and what happens to these different people. Costner is a great storyteller and actor. The scenery and cinematography are magnificent and his dialogue is clean and neat. There was no unnecessary violence or gratuitous sex. I felt that I got a good picture of what life was like at that time - out West it was hard and often awful. I'm so looking forward to the next chapters.

[@ItsBlissfulAcres]

Thank you for sharing. I'll watch eventually 😊

[@LifeintheWest]

All I can say is what I thought about it. Hope you like it as well.

[@31acruz]

Emagine theaters were boycotting the movie. First they would not show it on their movies display, you had to click on subsequent pages to find it, also when you went in, they kept the mood lights turned on the whole movie instead of deeming them down to darkness as usual. Its like they are going out of their way to make sure this movie doesn't make money

[@rickreese5794]

Well done, Thx Trinity 💯👍

[@Gushara]

I love Kevin Costner! Have been a fan of his story telling for most of my adult life. He shows us life as it was and is or could be in these monumental story pictures. Yellowstone was written by Thomas Sheridan who has a different take on the men and women of the west who braved so much to make a life in this material world. His characters in the Yellowstone story is a totally different perception of who men and women are....showing how the woundedness and the choices of humans drives their behavior and that toughness of mind and deed are developed through life experience. Most of Costner films are about survival and what a human would do in extreme or historically extreme conditions. Kevin Costner doesn't worry about what "Follywood" thinks about him which he has made clear through the years. Have you ever watched "The Postman"?? A must for any Costner supporter!!! In my opinion he is one of pure integrity in his creations.

[@FrankAbell-p8p]

The genius of this film is it presents the clash of civilizations without preaching the usual conclusions about someone to blame. Even Sheridan slips PC messages into his shows (slamming Columbus on Yellowstone and teaching racial division on Mayor of Kingstown, etc.). Unlike Dances with Wolves which was hopelessly naive, this is just presenting (fairly accurately) raw, violent history of the development of the west by a dominant culture. One side won and one side lost. Figure out for yourself the lessons and what might have been done differently, if anything. If the remaining three installments can hold up to this standard, this might be a classic for the ages. PS- there are not too many subplots going on. Not for a twelve hour movie.

[@chrisdeal4433]

Great review. I love Yellowstone and I loved Horizon. Two completely different types of stories and goal.

[@Terminal-Vet]

I really enjoyed Horizon a lot! Really looking forward to the next chapter.

[@Herbster41]

I agree with your take on Yellowstone. After a couple episodes I couldn't watch anymore.

[@karenkindler834]

Great job Trinity!! Very well said!!🥰

[@LifeintheWest]

Thank you. I don't know how to actually do a review. This is what I felt, so it is what I shared.

[@jdp0359]

Nice review Trinity. I, like many people really respect your opinion. I look forward to seeing the movie soon.

[@jannaghaleiw5504]

Thank you so much for this very honest and very fair review of this movie and I totally agree with you. My only take on it is that it contains very violent scenes, but that's the fact, that how things were at the that time. Personally I really enjoyed it and its end made me very interested to watch the second one. 🤗👍💐🌺⚘️💯

[@Manlopsan2]

I loved the movie!! Great video Trinity. Cheers from Spain.

I appreciate your standards (what you choose to promote on your channel). Love your videos and all the information you share about Montana and ranches in general. You mentioned watching John Wayne…. My family and I just got done watching “The Man Who ShotLiberty Valance”.🤠

Amen. Love and agree with your comments. Keep up the good work. A Southern Conservative who loves The West - states in the MST zone.

[@LifeintheWest]

Thank you. I don't really know how to make a review. So I just said what spoke to me. I am glad you liked it.

[@donniehunter309]

Thanks for the review. Now I will give the movie a chance. I had written it off as Costner has never made a convincing cowboy, though his role as a goof in Silverado seemed to fit him. Sounds like a thinking man's historicly based movie and that has me much more curious.

[@pleinaire8698]

I have never seen Yellowstone so I haven’t been jaded by Costner‘s performance and that, but I did see HORIZON last week… it was an excellent movie. The character development that is so stunning and so beautiful.. the nudity was really about a woman wanting to be clean in a harsh, dry tough environment, can’t wait for part 23 and four .. thank you Costner and all the wonderful actors!

[@JOELTILSON]

My Ancestors were Homesteaders and Horizon captures what struggles they went through. Kevin Costner's first chapter was a masterpiece and I can't wait to see the rest of the Horizon story.

[@joedyer5486]

Well, I've spent my life being a man and living my life by being like my daddy and his daddy before him and I've raised my boys to be strong men and my little cowgirl to be a strong WOMAN but knowing the purpose of having strong men so one day when she's blessed with boys she can help raise them to be strong men. This moive was excellent and the soldiers are right out of a John Ford western.

[@bobbyfreeman8345]

I really enjoyed it….nice to enjoy some engaging story telling in a beautiful setting….have to admit I’m biased I grew up loving westerns but this is a really timeless story that I think will stand up over time and is an important work….. truly relished watching something without an agenda

[@mandalorianactual1215]

I watched it this weekend. I absolutely loved it.

yup, nuff said ! (at least about Yellowstone anyway) hope to see Horizon

[@davidgregg2778]

Thanks Trinity for sharing your thoughts on this movie and "Yellowstone " . I couldn't agree more with you about "Yellowstone " . Now you have inspired me to see "Horizons " .

[@LifeintheWest]

I am not sure that very many people agree with me on this. I was literally the only person in the theater. Which is not good.

[@anthonylogiudice9215]

@@LifeintheWest I was in a small NYC theater on the 4th of July and there was a small group who watched it. I thought it was a perfectly good film to watch on Independence Day. I believe the second chapter will make some more money because this first film was a teaser for people to get reeled in for the second film. Costner is banking on Yellowstone fan base to show up at some point.

[@randywarnock2937]

It’s wonderful to know there are people that understand what the pioneers went through in the West.
