This movie is enthralling. I have always enjoyed well-done narration during a movie and this narration done by Gatewood, was excellent. It was not filled with emotion and yet the emotion was there without being evident.
His voice is powerful and he reads extremely well. He also acts extremely well. The entire cast is equal to Hackman and THAT is an accomplishment.
I remember when I became addicted to his breakthrough movie Bonnie and Clyde. I loved the movie and I had NEVER seen acting like Hackman's. Though I loved what he did I also did not want him to walk away with the movie. HE didn't Warren Beaty and Faye did not let this happen nor did the man who played "CW" In Real life there was a character that went by his initials and the betrayal actually did take place I do not know why they changed the initials of the man whose father betrayed Bonnie and Clyde.
I did not mean to get off track and that movie is my favorite of all time.
The legend of Geronimo is absolutely in the top five movies of my life. It is so well done that you can HEAR the crack and moaning of the saddles and they are mounted and the arrows hit home. The acting is superb by all who played in this movie-- it seemed like a docu. but it was not.
IF you fail to watch this movie- you have missed out.
The saddest part is that Geronimo lives another 20 + years and dies of pnemonia from lying in a ditch about a mile from the bar where he got drunk. He just died on the side of the road. A man who sent a chill into each whiteman's heart and a rush into every warriors heart- died in a drainage ditch. They may have brought his dying body to the hospital and I believe he made piece and spiritually died in that ditch. Fitting for what happened to the Natives of this land called America.
I find it absurd that the settlers who came here from Europe were called Americans and the indigenous people who had been here long long before are called INdians--because of the stupidity of the settlers who seized what they wanted and called THEMSELVES Americans and called the spiritual people who did not suffer from much disease until the arrival of the Europeans-- Indians.
The Indians were the Americans. The people who slaughtered their food supply and simply out-numbered and used superior technology to displace them were European invaders and should have been called such. Geronimo would have been a great man to share a few drinks. Just to meet him would have been an experience of a life time. He was NOT a savage--not more than WE would be if some superior force began to creep across our great country that we stole from the Americans.

I have to give these guys a five just for doing this movie. I think it would be like doing "THE JAMES BOYS" again but they DID it and put their aging faces and their ragged bodies through another one.
No one EVER did a GOOD job on this subject. Every movie made about the Alamo fell on its face. John Wayne practically sold his sole (or maybe he finally did THAT at midnight one night ... But it still failed...Badly! This one was no different. They tried to take another picture of the moon to Earth and found it has already been done and we only wanted to see it ONCE!
There were moments of acting that burst out of every great actor in this movie like magical stars on the stage and then... there were moments that just stunk! IF I was an actor and I was offered a role in an "Alamo" movie I would quit and go into selling Tupperware door to door. Kieth was good, only a few days from losing it openly, he pulled it off and Arness even forced his long,heavy back to stay straight for 4 min at a time! You can't DO a movie about The Alamo unless The Alamo is just in the background.
And I give these men and women a round of applause. I would NEVER try this and they felt the same way but did it anyway!! YAY for
All of them!!! GUTS!!!!
Warren E. Justice ACRPS,CAS,CADAC, CIMS, I could go on and on.... But I would NEVER do the Alamo!!
