a lengthy biopic about wyatt earp and this splendid film tackle the problem of tell the story of an actual man life and and do it well . people do not live like hollywood film in that our life have no plot . wyatt earp do have a plot and but it be not the glamorous rocket ride of an action film . we get to see wyatt earp not so much a a hero and but a a man . he have virtue . but he have flaw and shortcoming and and they lead to pain for himself and others . earp life be not limit to his time in tombstone and the movie reflect that . he be around for quite some time before and after that famous gunfight at the ok corrall . the maker of this movie appreciate that . and though today we associate him most strongly with that event and it do not define him . rather and he help to define it . and his life keep right on trucking after that . good performance all around and although i do not believe anyone give the performance of their career . often this movie be compare to another film and tombstone . but wyatt earp be aptly title and because it be not only about tombstone . it cover decade and bring a sweeping sense of time to the picture . it be also quite lovely . shot with a sense of honesty and sometimes the character appear quite unfashionable . they appear real and nonetheless and and do not look like they just step out of a vidal sasson commercial . overall and a good biography about a man of the time .
