SpecialsTarget Disturbing yet enthralling

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

malcotoro When I was a boy in northern England I watched many western movies, fascinated by cowboys and indians. In later life, I collected all of them on video, then replaced them with DVD and BluRay. After watching the historically accurate Spielberg produced Into the West, I sold them all. I came to the realization they were inaccurate… there is only one truth about cowboys and indians and it can be found here in Into the West. 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. Now no other "western" movie is in my collection, Into the West says it all… Comment from Malcolm in Toronto, October 2014

wsroth I read details offered by IMDb on this movie; various summaries; external reviews & several user reviews: Why no one has mentioned or made reference to Michener's "Centennial" surprises me! One of the first ways we expressed our view of this miniseries was a comparison to the book & miniseries. "Of course Spielberg's "Into the West" was done better than "Centennial" though for it's time "Centennial" was done well & I've viewed it many times.Perhaps The Chronicles negative review might have been less critical had the writer refrained from mentioning the "weeks"?? he spent researching this screenplay. Perhaps his research included reading Michener's book.I feel the use of family lineage to report history through the eyes of those living it is a wonderful venue for teaching it. Far more people would recall what they learn if the reviewed it as a story. I learned more about the Trojan Wars through Marian Zimmer-Bradley's "Firebrand" than all the lectures & reading I experienced in high school & college. As did many children about the Roman gods through "The Lightning Thief"I hope to see more of this means of teaching and hope like my college professor in "Women in Antiquity" did with the use of Zimmer-Bradley's "Firebrand" Being one who failed miserably in history due to an inability to recall anything, I wished I could have understood it as my friend did: "... all as a collection of great stories" If our educators incorporated books like those I've mentioned in their instruction, perhaps even weaker students, much like myself, would not only improve grades but, actually retain the information thereafter.Granted Michener is a fantastic story teller & incorporates a wondrous plethora of fact & insight in his books, but, some of his novels aren't the quickest reads I've experienced, but I'm certain numerous authors have attempted to produce similar learning experiences in their books. After all, most avid readers seeking good fiction want "believability" & research is all the key.

usenet69 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.If we had followed the same route in Africa, we would not be in the racial problems that we have today. We would have also been a white majority but we did not. We fed them, educated them, gave them the best living standards in Africa but we are still being expected to apologize. As for me, I wont apologize but if history is correct, the Americans of today owe restitution to the Native Americans they treated like animals.Has any such apologies or restitution ever been done in the USA ? I would really like to know.

sweet_lil_chick77 does anyone know if naomi is in any other scenes after the birth of her Indian baby with her Indian husband. Do we see this child grow up or is that it for Kerri Russell's character. Does her Indian village get destroyed like the rest of the villages? I have the DVD but think i have missed any more scenes with her family in it. On the DVD boxed set there is also a picture with her holding a toddler's hand who is Indian which makes me think that she is in the movie more or it could be in deleted scenes. Her character is very interesting and I would have liked to known what happened to their family and how this new life affected her and if any of her family ever heard from her again.If anyone knows the answers to these questions please answer them for me!!! Thanks!!!
