When it comes to tribal, truth is highest above all shown in certain scenes regarding subtitles shown. The allowance of false amongst most Anglos may be a painful truth "cleverly" teaching the listening audience from this series, there is a choice in culture to either or not keep integrity of word.
Consider the last time you dealt with deceit and treachery supposed to benefit you. Now consider how it is portrayed to tribal in this series. Thank you. Watching the episodes of "Into the West" over the past two months has reminded me of a book I read many years ago called "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" by Dee Brown, published in I was happy to discover it in my collection of old nonfiction books, and I've been re-reading portions of it as the story develops. There are some interesting differences in the details, but overall I would say that ITW sticks to the historical facts without too much spin on either side.
I recommend the above-named book to anyone who sees "Into the West" and has questions about the events that are shown. Indian wars of the late 19th century -- but it is very well-documented, and it offers many accounts from the viewpoint of the defeated tribes. In particular, chapters 18 and 19 of her book are well worth reading after seeing Episode Six of ITW -- regarding the "Ghost Dancers" and Sitting Bull, the subjugation of the Plains Indians, and that fateful massacre in December I'd like to think he is the young Lakota character who learned to write at an Indian school, but Years later, Black Elk wrote this: "I did not know then how much was ended.
When I look back now from this high hill of my old age, I can still see the butchered women and children lying heaped and scattered all along the crooked gulch as plain as when I saw them with eyes still young. And I can see that something else died there in the bloody mud, and was buried in the blizzard.
A people's dream died there. It was a beautiful dream There is no center any longer, and the sacred tree is dead. When I was a boy in northern England I watched many western movies, fascinated by cowboys and indians.
After watching the historically accurate Spielberg produced Into the West, I sold them all. Particularly shameful when the children were removed from their aboriginal families, and taken away to schools like Carlisle PA, to be punished for speaking their own language IMHO. In the spirit of "North and South" comes "Into the West," an emotionally-charged mini-series that chronicles the migration west, and the effects of manifest destiny on the Indian tribes that saw their lands taken from them by the white man.
From the s to , we follow two families: the Wheeler family, who take part in the great migration west; and the family of Loved by the Buffalo, members of the Lakota Sioux Tribe. An amazing cast, brilliant writing, and thrilling cinematography take us back to that time when two great nations clashed, and whose fate would shape the destiny of America for all eternity! This got very irksome and tiring after the 3rd episode.
How can all the Wheelers live such long lives? The average life expectancy back then was 40, not 90 to Sure, Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin lived into their 80's, but they are exceptions. I just couldn't stand watching the inconsistencies of time.
And Jacob really should have died out there on the prairie. The man was well over his prime. He would have got Gangrene or been killed by a bear or something. Anything so that he was not in the last 3 episodes!! Did anyone do the math? Even if he was only 16 in , he would have been in the last episode. Did anyone else find this a bit far fetched? He looked like a young man of 60, and how would he have made the trip back to the west????? Oh, shows like this irritate me. And Clara was pregnant again in her late 30's?
Yeah, that is historically realistic! The last episode was ho hum and over done. It completely lacked a story, especially when all the characters were played by different actors. It was so hard to remember who was who. I feel like I watched the whole series only to be disappointed. Why is it that whenever they claim to make a series telling two sides of the story, it always feels one-sided? And we never find out what happens to most of the characters.
They are introduced then drop off the face of the earth. This had the potential to be great. It included way too many story lines to be believable and depicted Native Americans like every other movie out their except that they spoke Lakota.
Don't waste your time OR just watch the first 3 and forget the other 3 exist. But even then, you'll just be irritated by the whole thing. For one living far away from continental America I think it is more interesting to know about North American Indians.
My generation used to see Indians as wild, uncivilized enemies of heroic people, mostly in western movies. In this TV series, I see that, it is not too hard to see unity of Indian culture which is not "bad" or "enemy" "in any case". I felt the same when I saw the movie "the man dancing with the wolves" years ago. Apart from the story of the film which is very good, it is a fascinating spectacular show which made us lose ourselves in the beauty of wild scenes Thanks to Spielberg for the pleasure we taste Although the US has not a recorded history of years,there weren't less chaos and misery as it grew up.
The west before exploration was almost an alien land of this planet for white settlers. Rifles cables railway and diseases changed all of these,and destroyed the world where simple innocent Indians lived. We who survive a regular society today hardly suppose things occurred years ago. Everybody could pick up golds on the riverbed,raid fortune no matter whom it belonged to,kill "savages" with decrees from the "Washington Father".
That was how the western part of the country began,with the efforts by Chinese,Indians,Irish,Germen,Italians and so on,beyond races,religions,languages,sabotaging old peoples,merging a new people,far from freedom and democracy.
Somehow Chinese do contribute to the US,which was scarcely mentioned Spielburg gave us a mini picture of the Wheelers as well as America,which shock me and let me know the other side of America. We can't blame ancestors for what they had done in the old days but we can surely understand what we can do today on the earth. I have diligently watched this series since the beginning.
I have re-watched all the episodes at least twice. Having some knowledge of Native American history, I have found that again Spielberg has done his homework on both sides of the journey west. I feel that he has portrayed both sides more than fair and hope that this movie will open the eyes of those who still believe in the stereo typed "Indian, Pioneer, and Mountain Man.
I hope that this movie again will make people understand what happens to "Nations" when there is prejudice and ignorance. I found some inconsistencies in some of the issues with the personal lives of Indians, that I am fairly sure are not true. For example men didn't attend the births of their children.. This was considered bad luck.
I also felt sometimes that I must of missed something. For example, Naomi was with the wagon train that was attacked by the Cheyenne? Then she was suddenly named "Five Horses.
This whole episode, though romantic was a bit unrealistic. Women of her age were seldom if ever adopted into any tribe. They were consdered to be "untrainable. I have waited since Dances with Wolves for a good, honest portrayal of Native Americans I finally got it Thank you to all involved! Mitakuye Oyasin 'Hanble Omani Winyan. Into the West is really excellent up to the point of the introduction of the railroad, and then there is a significant decline in quality.
Nothing represents this better than the locales chosen for filming. The first episodes look stunning and appropriate for the story, but once the trains start, it looks as if budget and artistic integrity ran out.
All scenery and sets make no attempt to be realistic, and certainly not grand, as is the case in the first episodes. What the hell happened?! Also, the acting degenerates. It's as if casting directors went to B-college drama departments and recruited line readers. And let's not forget that the focus of the story that is so clear early on--namely, of presenting an uplifting American saga--degenerates quickly and badly into a ham-fisted,hate-all-white-people screed that leaves one feeling soiled and cheated.
The first parts of Into the West are quite good, a 10 really, but the last parts are dreadful, worthy of a 4. And the concept of changing actors for aging characters has to be one of the worst decisions ever made by Stephen Spielberg.
Episodes 4, 5, and 6 should be discarded and redone. My wife and I have watched every episode so far 5 , and have found this to be not only great entertainment, but also have found the fictional Wheeler families in the thick of many historical events, which seem to have been portrayed with as much realism and accuracy as possible for Hollywood. Spielberg has done an excellent job of creating the look and feel of the time, the history, and how the Indians, and other minorities, were used and subjugated in the development of the Western lands.
This is the best mini series of this type since "Centennial" , which covered some of the same history, but primarily that in Colorado. I am a South African. I am white. I have been expected to apologize to the blacks in my country for the so called autrocities that the white people performed against the blacks over the ages. Having just viewed this movie and having studied up on the history of various Native American Tribes, this movie, especially episode 6 truly made me sick to my stomach.
I want to know if the Americans still bear the guilt they should for the barbaric way the massacred the native population of the country they took from them.
