If you think a woman's path to true love requires her to deny the essence of her being, this is the movie for you. I agree with the other reviewers that this was in all other ways a very well done movie and I love westerns. The cinematography was especially impressive and the actors were fine. The story line pulled me in right away since it had plenty of classic western themes but also mixed in unexpected pleasures like the role of the music. As the film moved to its climax, I had hope for a satisfying resolution but I could feel the pit growing in my guts as I saw where things were heading. If Johnny loved Rebecca, could he really take her away from all that she held dear and defined who she was? If Rebecca was as strong a woman as she was portrayed, would she just give up her life like that? Maybe I have the wrong idea of romance, but I just couldn't get past the underlying message. Sorry.
