I watched it twice, simply because the visuals were so beautiful. However, I was not pleased with how the African Americans were represented. Granted, they were not the subject of the film, but when referring to the 'new breed' that went out west, they should have at least had a close-up...even if it was for 5 seconds. I wasn't crazy about that shot of them from far away on the train, and then showing the backs of their heads. But that was just my two cents. Other than that, this had the potential to be something better. And I agree with others that mentioned this would be a good film to show in elementary schools.
