Positive, Progressive, Liberating

I love this film. "Lone Star" is simulanteously a mystery, a romance, and a meditation on the cultural history of the US. I saw it in San Antonio in an audience which was about 60/40 Hispanic/Anglo. Thus far, it is the movie-going experience of my life.

Conservatives who rever the past and consider modern America to be in moral decay - see this film. It presents a bold counter-arguement.


Passion & the breaking of vicious circles

One of the best if not the best movie I have ever seen. Unfortunately it is not for sale in Denmark, so I had to rent it 5 times!

First of all the love story is soothingly mature, which is a rarity these days. Secondly the plot is tight, the dialogue exquite and the pictures full. Thirdly, performing is so genuine you can almost touch the actors. Kris Kristofferson should definately have won the Oscar Academy Award for his dangerous, fascinating, and all-evil sherif of yesterday.

In addition to these points, the movie presented to me very unfamiliar topics such as Mexican immigration and the relation between Afro-American and Native-American people. Now I know how come the seminoles made patchwork (I wondered about that for 10 years).

Finally 'Lone Star' take use of very strange technique, as past and present go on at the same time - at least in the same room. See it!

Complex, subtle and one of best movies ever

A mystery that depends upon a small western town's history and racial climate. It is also a love story and the protagonist's coming to grips with character of his deceased father. Something for everyone and with a twist at the end. I don't want to give any of the plot away, but want to encourage all movie buffs to see this movie.


A difficult, but worth it, movie to fathom

Very difficult to follow-bears many rewinds to grasp - the speach is difficult to follow, but it is well worth the effort. Clealy portrays the ultimate decency of people who have to overcome centuries of prejudices/trials. It has lessons to absorb and digest. I liked how it rose above stereotypes and "movie politically correctness" to show blacks, hispanics, whites as all meeting the challenges of life and dealing with fair/unfair as humans not as stereotyped Hollywood stick figures. An outstanding and thought provoking experience. It is the kind of movie that influences/penetrates your thought for days and months. It portrays the life choices we all have to make and how we deal with those we can't make. Despite the rating, it is definitely a family movie.
