Have you ever watched Open Range?

[exitseven]

This movie was on the Grit channel this morning. I have been sick so I sat and watched it again. Every time I see it I notice something different. It is a cowboy movie and a lot more. They don't make movies like this anymore/ The cinematography is amazing as well.

You'd think someone called "Cowboy" would be a fan of "Open Range," but I've never heard of the show. Is Kevin Costner the lead?

[exitseven]

Yes he and Robert Duval.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Ninety-three-year-old Robert Duvall. DANG !!! It's gotta be good if Mr. Duvall's in it.

[AviatorTom]

No, I haven't watched it. I don't have the Grit channel, so I may not get the chance.

[exitseven]

[loves2learn]

It is one of those movies that I can just watch over and over again. At the college I work at we have a big auditorium and I had a big laser projector and a glass bead screen installed about 8 years ago. There was a professor that taught a film course and he showed this movie one day. I sat down and watched it on the big screen,. Just amazing.

🌄 Open Range is such a gem! 🤠 I’ve watched it several times, and each viewing reveals something new, just like you mentioned. That final shootout scene is incredibly intense and perfectly choreographed. The relationship dynamics between the characters bring so much depth to the typical cowboy narrative. Plus, the cinematography is breathtaking; those sweeping shots of the open landscape make you feel like you're really there. They definitely don’t make movies like this anymore—it’s a beautiful blend of strong storytelling and visual artistry. Kevin Costner and Robert Duvall are simply stellar in their roles. It’s a timeless classic for any western genre lover! 🎥🌟

@Cinematic Lily It was so touching to see Kevin Costner's character fall in love with Annette Benning's character. It almost makes you believe in "happily ever after."

[msc545]

I might want to watch it. Can you post a little bit about what it's about? Thanks!

It is a cowboy move set at the end of the 19th century. It deals with redemption., justice, vengeance, honor and loyalty.
It truly exemplifies the Code of the West.

Don’t inquire into a person’s past. Take the measure of a man for what he is today.

Riding another man’s horse without his permission is nearly as bad as making love to his wife. Never even bother another man’s horse. And never steal another man’s horse. A horse thief pays with his life.

Defend yourself whenever necessary, but don’t make a threat without expecting dire consequences.

Never order anything weaker than whiskey, and always fill your whiskey glass to the brim.

Never pass anyone on the trail without saying “Howdy”. After you pass someone on the trail, don’t look back at him. It implies you don’t trust him.

Don’t wave at a man on a horse, as it might spook the horse. A nod is the proper greeting.

Real cowboys are modest. A cowboy doesn’t talk much; he saves his breath for breathing.

No matter how weary and hungry you are after a long day in the saddle, always tend to your horse’s needs before your own, and get your horse some feed before you eat.

Cuss all you want, but only around men, horses and cows.

Do not practice ingratitude and never complain. Complaining is what quitters do, and cowboys don’t tolerate quitters.

Always be courageous. Cowards aren’t tolerated in any outfit worth its salt.

A cowboy always helps someone in need, even a stranger or an enemy.
Never try on another man’s hat.

A cowboy is loyal to his “brand,” to his friends, and those he rides with. Be there for a friend when he needs you.

Respect the land and the environment.

Honesty is absolute – your word is your bond; a handshake is more binding than a contract.

If you liked Dances with wolves I think you'll like it @msc545. Same beautiful scenic shots.

[msc545]

@ChiTown33 @exitseven Thanks - I am going to watch it!

[OlderAndWiser]

I see that it has Robert Duvall, so I will put it on my watch list. He is my favorite actor.

[ChiTown33]

Yeah. I think Kevin Costner is legally required to make a western movie every few years.🤣

[Dongie]

Yes I have, like 3 times. It is good too. Costner skins that six-gun.

[Mettbltt]

ı will watch this

and I recommend you to watch Dances with wolves.

[Dargil]

Several times.

[Dargil]

Broken Trail and Dances with Wolves are worth watching too.

[Wiredone]

No I've never watched it

[Jamie05rhs]

No, I have not seen that one.

[Jamie05rhs]

I think that girl is really pretty.

[Fireguy17]

Ove missed that one, but I love that channel.

[exitseven]

Yes, the GRIT channel is awesome.

[Fireguy17]

I like the daytime line up, just not the Lone Ranger or Zorro.

[noohair]

Good Movie.

[power_wolf]
