Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones are superb in this television
mini-series. What I think Lonesome Dove symbolizes is the dedication
of true friendship displayed in the form of a promise kept. And man
does Tommy Lee Jones endure a lot for the sake of keeping that
promise. However, the mini-series has more than that to offer. You
have your villain, occasional unexpected plot twists, some shooting,
hangings, a journey through Indian territory, flying arrows, gangrene,
snake bites, and a great cast that includes: Robert Urich, Angelica
Huston, Danny Glover, Rick Schroeder, Diane Lane and more. There is a
reason why Lonesome Dove won so many Emmys: It's simply that good. If
you ain't bawling all over yourself when Tommy Lee starts a cryin'
then I guess you just don't have a heart. |
