This was everything 1883 wished it could be. And much more concise. (Photo: me putting the blu-ray in front of half of my face)

Well done film!
This film presents an interesting take on the conflicts of native Americans and basically the calvary in the 1800's West.
Rosamund Pike plays a woman whose whole family is killed by Indians. She does a good job of presenting the mental stages that a person most likely would go through given this situation. For example, she screams and no sound is heard. (Interestingly, Christian Bale, the cavalry captain, is in a different situation in the film and has the same thing happen to him.) The film has an edginess to it and a sense of realism as the group of calvary soldiers, Rosamund and the Indian prisoners travel to Montana. The Indians, led by their dying chief, excellently played by Wes Studi, are being escorted back to their lands in Montana as per a U.S. presidential directive. It is a physical journey but also a mental and emotional journey for all involved. The film is basically showing how people who hate each other in the beginning of the film come to understand, help and respect one another in the end. It is an interesting transformation for all three main characters. While the film has action scenes, the director also slows the people down giving them a chance to move forward in many different human ways. There is realistic brutality (not for the squeamish nor children).
I enjoyed the film. It has excellent acting, directing and cinematography. I would recommend this film to anyone interested in a higher level film that makes you do some thinking about human beings, their relationships, and the human condition.
