Horizon: An American Saga - Capitolo 1

This is an epic story that doesn't pulls punches, It has a incredibly strong cast. The acting performances were quite good throughout. The story felt authentic, but it jumps around quite a lot, and character building is surprisingly weak. Overall, it just does not have the polish that I expected of a movie of this caliber. I was particularly irritated by the inappropriate loud glorious/triumphant music played during the Indian village massacre and several more minute at the end. It really upset me they would play such music over the top of the horrific depictions of violence against innocent women and children. It was like they were celebrating it. The music director is really awful. Perhaps the director is also to blame for many of its faults. I really wanted to love this, but instead, went away disappointed that it wasn't better.
