Review of Heaven's Gate (1980) by Charles M — 02 Jun 2016
Pacing and acting are sometimes questionable but the production values are magnificent. I loved the lighting and the sets and recreation of 1890's.
Wyoming but the basic story of the two guys in love with the same girl is.
Paint Your Wagon without the gold or the songs! And that triangle took up.
Too much time.
If this confrontation between immigrants and "stockgrowers" really.
Happened, then I'm grateful that this movie brings that history to light.
(Later, I found out the events didn't happen. The movie is apparently fictional!).
Cannot make out John Hurt's rôle. Also, Sam Waterson is lost for a great chunk of the movie.
The story (for it hardly has a plot) is too slight for such a lengthy movie.
