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!
