I notice when you get to DISlikin' someone they ain't around for long neither.
I think the chief stole every scene he was in.

It's a great movie... just not on AMC. Hate the commercials and censorship. TCM or Encore are better venues.
Great soundtrack, especially the fife and drum march, "Old 1812" at the beginning of the movie.
Dialogue-wise, it's one of Eastwood's best movies. It's got as many good one-liners as one of the '30s "screwball" comedies. The guns and gun handling are excellent as well.

I love it! I own it! It's one of my favorite movies.
The river crossing sequence and meeting Chief George I think are better than most complete movies!
And getting along with the Comanches is probably out in fantasy land.
They didn't get along with anybody, including other Indians.

I just finished watching it. Great movie. I must have seen it 10 times but will watch again.

There are so many interesting things in that movie!
Like- Comancheros. They were a mysterious group of traders from NM who traded with the Comanche- that's why they were named that - and other plains tribes. The Comanches were an elusive and combative tribe.
For example, up at Bents Fort near La Junta, CO they say that most Indians were invited into the fort to trade. But not the Comanches! They traded with them outside.
The Comancheros show up in a number Of movies, usually in a negative way. They probably did at times trade captives- slaves. They may have at times provided the Indians with firearms and powder.
They travelled from NE NM in Carretas. They went as far North as Neb and as far South as the Texas Big Bend.
I think the Comancheros are one of the most interesting and least understood people in this part of the country.
Here is a carreta. Its located at the Martinez hacienda, Taos, NM.

Forrest Carter's life ended way too soon, he only wrote 4 books. The movie was made from the first two. It was said some of the chief's lines were from his family legends. Ivan
We just got rid of satellite TV. We live out in the country, so there are no local stations available by antenna either, and no cable. We can get local news on the internet, and we can watch movies and TV shows on Netflix and Hulu Plus. We've even found a few sites that stream current TV programs for free.
It was kind of tough the first couple of days, until we realized that the TV had been mostly background noise anyway, and how little we really watched the programs on TV. The one downside is sports...my wife is a football fanatic, and I can already see we will have to solve that problem, unless I want to take her to a sports bar every time a game is on.

I watched it twice yesterday. I never get tired of: "Are you going to pull those pistols or whistle Dixie?"
Several of the photos I bought a few months ago--were during and after that scene.
