But I wanted to stay away from what you often see in Westerns, where there’s a town that’s already there. No one knows how. [the town] It came to be. A man comes from beyond the horizon. We don’t know much about him, except that he has some skills he’d rather put on the back burner and this town desperately needs those stills eventually…too often. , it’s just a convenience for a heroic man to defeat a stupid man.”
He continued, “There are a lot of westerns out there, but some of them aren’t good because they’re simplified.” [but] This is not Disneyland. These are real lives. People just walking down the street, women trying to keep their families clean and fed…I’m drawn to that. I’m always going to work on gunfights, but I’m drawn to the little things that people had to endure. So for me, horizon It was worth putting up with because I just wanted to tell you. It kept growing and growing and growing until suddenly I realized I had to get it done. And I had to look at myself financially to do that. This is not the wisest thing to do. However, I believe that the movie will speak louder than what I can say. ”
When asked what the bigger conflict was, horizon or won an Oscar dances with wolves, Costner said the new film, which he spent six years writing, was even more difficult. “This is the biggest fight ever. It’s hot. dance 106 days later. This movie you are watching now is the one I shot in 1952. I learned a lot and was able to use every trick in the book to bring this film to an audience. There are four tricks. ”

In the trailer, the film’s palette is very bright, with the footage looking almost Technicolor-like.

And that’s the opportunity we have in the film industry. It’s to create something that lasts…I tend to follow trends and trends. there is no” [look at] What really works? ”

Back then, you had to mediate your own problems. This was quite dramatic, especially when dealing with sociopaths. You have to understand that we just came out of that terrible Civil War. And if anyone believes in post-traumatic stress, America’s population at the time was only about 30 million people, and the war lasted four years. We lost 56,000 troops in Vietnam. We lost 600,000 people in the Civil War. Sometimes people came to the West with their families with great hopes, and sometimes people came to the West because they were hurt or running away from something. ”

Some people are lucky and some are not so lucky when they are able to create that architecture inside the house. And when they went to look at their wives, they said, “Why are we going out here?” Is that so?” he asked. The man simply said, “You’ll be luckier than that.” The country was thus settled and the Native American Indians were crushed under this movement. they didn’t have a chance. ”
