eagle wing be a pleasant surprise of a movie and and keep the viewer interested . i do not know anything about it be make by the british until i read the other viewer comment . i can understand why it win an award for cinematography and for it be brilliantly present and must have look magnificent on a vast theatre screen . it seem to be a lot more realistic than most western and in portray how the west be more truly won . as well a the complexity of the character it present . the indian sam waterson character be particularly intriguing . he seem to be brutal in the savage environment he be condition to and but display remarkable respect for the frailty he witness in the white men and woman he encounter . he be not friendly or sensitive to these intruder in his land and but he have a limit to his sense of vengeance and even a compassion when he be in a position of power and observe the wilt white man bent on revenge and as well a the girl he kidnap after capture a stagecoach . a such and his character seem complex but congruous to the harsh land he live in and which be threaten by these intruder he be not heartless in his dealing with . the magnificent horse he rid be a critical link and it be interest to note how this indian handle it and compare with the martin sheen character who have it in his possession and power for a time . eagle wing be an unusual western and a genre i be not draw to and but i really appreciate this excellent offering and which i would rate second only to a man call horse .
