- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2024
- “Horizon: An American Saga-Chapter 1” is an epic Western that fills the movie screen for three hours, and Jason Whitlock sat through the entire film. That may be the greatest endorsement of a movie ever. Whitlock makes his case for why every American should see the latest work by Kevin Costner.

Some people don't like Westerns and some like me will watch anything to do with Westerns be it a TV show or movie. God bless Jason, Kevin and Shemeka.
i really want to see this movie, can't wait. I love westerns, and the cinematography in this one looks amazing.
Westerns are awesome! Check out Old Henry!
I enjoy westerns but only ones where there is no violence.
@@trhansen3244 WHAT!? Maybe you like Little House on the Prairie.
@@tucsonbanditGo its amazing. ❤❤❤❤
Why are people capping on the 3 hour movie length, when they went and saw Oppenheimer and never complained?...
As a retired high school history teacher, I think Oppenheimer was a snooze fest.
@@Carnegiered52 Agrree. Nolan hyperbolically claimed it was the greatest film in a 100 or so years. Killers of the Flower Moon was the best pic last year, and Lily Gladstone got robbed....
Open Range is my favorite. I will see Horizon and hope it is just as good.
Open Range gun fight was great but 2nd to most Clint Eastwood movies
Don’t waste your money. It’s awful.
@@bboyscam9727Rubbish best movie need to use your brains.❤❤❤❤
@@bboyscam9727Everyone has an opinion! You didn’t like it, well a lot Did!
Great movie, but i there any demand for it?
Jason is absolutely correct. It was an amazing movie that needs to be seen in theaters. 💪
It's too busy of a movie for the theater .
@@johnny5735 What does that even mean ? Thanks god it's in Theatre and not on TV streaming or whatever
@tiphainec5055 The movie is all over the place, introducing different storylines and different characters, and it becomes hard to follow.
@@johnny5735 The average goldfish brain NPC may have trouble following multiple plot threads but I did not.
@veritasunleashed OK, tough guy, I'm extremely happy for you!
Jason....you are way ahead of the pack brother....you always say it just right
Thanks for your push and shout out for westerns. I’m going for a second time this afternoon. Younger people don’t know what a western is! Ride hard, Dude, and stay in the saddle.
Haha well done , I'll go watch it a second time too , I loved it that much !
I live in the country on a horse farm. The older I get, the weaker I get, and the harder it is to take care of my place. Lol I love living here though so I keep at it.
Can't wait to see it."Lonesome Dove" is my all-time favorite.
Yes and there was no "action" for most of the first part. Still awesome. 😎
Dances with Wolves. Costner directing debut is the best western of all time imo. Masterpiece. Best picture 7 academy awards, beating out Goodfellas. Not even debatable.
It is credited as a leading influence for the revitalization of the Western genre of filmmaking in Hollywood. In 2007, Dances with Wolves was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
Unforgiven is the greatest western followed by Lonesome Dove..
@@MitchellL-qq2cr love both of them. I really enjoyed 1883 as well.
@@MitchellL-qq2cr Unforgiven isn't better that "The outlaw Josey Wales" or The Good,The Bad and the Ugly not even close.....
@@gbgn1Dances with Wolves is a movie that will last through time. Masterpiece. It’s Avatar before Avatar. I honestly thought when I left watching Avatar, congrats Cameron, you made a Sci fi Dances with Wolves. Same story
The man who shot Liberty Valance, Shane, The Searchers.
First time Shemika disagreed with Jason
It ot Royce removed from the show
@@Byron4343no it didn’t, Royce running his mouth about private conversations is what caused that
Not true
Second time, they disagree on Chris Brown, Jason hates him, Shameka loves.
Shamika annoying me with every word
❤I loved this movie. It’s our history with real day survival . The clash of all peoples. . Kevin brings it on. 😊 congratulations Kevin it’s a must see.😊
The Chosen beat out the Disney movie. This is a movie that everyone should watch as well.
Before you listen to any of Jason’s movie reviews, remember he liked Coming to America 2
Nobody is perfect haaa!
😂
Okaaay am sure you like a movie, which people dont do😂
What is it with people not understanding that people just have different tastes & preferences in movies/series/music etc.
Its such a dumb & irrelevant topic people argue about.
Even movie critics in generel is pointless, because the only movie critic that matters to you, is you.
@@Nicolai-ho5bc But in this world there is always better and worse. Coming to America 2 was a horrible movie because it was supposed to be a comedy and it wasn't funny, yet Jason liked it.
The people who moved west at that time were some of the toughest that ever lived. Virtually nobody I know could make it in that environment today.
And yet somehow 70 year old Kevin Costner is the baddest gunslinger cowboy in the ole West. My imagination couldn't stretch that far.
Really want to see this movie
I just saw this movie today. I loved it. Im 71 year old women. Yes, you have to pay attention and listen.
I went in thinking I wouldn't like it. It's not a turn your brain off movie. I'm looking forward to seeing the next chapter.
Yes, a must view at the theater!!! A superb movie experience! Avoid the haters, Horizon is absolutely epic in every way! Get after it!!!
Been looking forward to this movie - looks like an American classic. No wonder the critics and Liberals hate it lol
It's like when you're in the army in war. The man next to you, is your brother. We were all Americans , and we all wore green.
I loved this movie and look forward to the next one(s)!
Westerns I remember growing up the most? Dances With Wolves and Tombstone.
9.5 is a great score. I'll support that fully!!!
Finally a positive review. I loved it too and talked about it in one of my videos.
I loved it too. Horizon Chapter One is wonderful. I love every minute of it. Three hours flew by.
Shemika, say it ain’t so!!!! Noooooo, you still my girl. Jason, I’m going to watch it
Great American Epic!
I would have left the theater after 3 hours and went straight to see part 2.
Amazing!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
She said she has to “focus too much” on westerns. Is she 12?
Haha thanks .. what a stupid thing to Say about this movie. So easy tu understand
I'm definitely gonna check this movie out! My two all time favorite westerns are Tombstone and Pale Rider.
Classics! Mine is Open Range.
Open Range is superior to those two Westerns but I like them too.
I won’t be. Not enough action, killing and nudity.
@@anthonylogiudice9215 just my opinion
Tombstone was complete garbage
Saw it yesterday…so good. Even after 3 hours…didn’t want it to end. Visually stunning too.
100% agree !! :)
Jason, I'm with you.
By the way you rocking that shirt.
He’s rocking that shirt? You need an eye exam ASAP.
Absolutely loved this movie ! So GLAD to sée some critics enjoying it as well !
I'd love to hear jason talk about "ride with the devil" from 1999. If he never saw it, I wouldnt be surprised because nobody did....but to me its one of the best Westerns ever made
"I had to concentrate too much on the story." That's not a reason to dislike a movie you hear too often.
Many liberal critics walked in wanting to hate this movie, it's a good movie that goes by pretty fast and I'm looking forward to part 2 next month.
Why? Costner himself is a leftist.
If it’s as good as open Range it’s good for sure!
I agree, it was a great movie
Horizon Chapter 1 is the most reviewed movie of the year! Why? Because it's epic!!! Go see this work of art!!!
It’s a movie which is flawed given how ambitious it is with the storylines. It nailed how tragic it was for both settlers and Apache in how they treated each other. I’m with Kevin, 7/10. I am looking forward to the next chapters.
That's the problem: Do you want to invest $20 and 3 hours to see a 7/10 movie that's only Part 1 of a Saga that's most likely never going to be finished? I'll wait for home video.
This movie is so good!! It's definitely a vibe, epic visuals🤠✨🎥
bone tomahawk was 🔥
Horizon was filmed in UTAH mostly.
Just watched the movie and was great. Best part was when the shots rang out in the theater. A bit hard to follow here and there. Can't wait for the next one best part is is being filmed right by the house.
Horizon I loved it. Its a story made of 3 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great Western , Outlaw Josey Wales …
Josey Wales Probably the Best of all time right next to The good ,The bad and the ugly
"Chief, Chief...I was just wondering. I suppose that mangy, red-bone hound ain't got no place to go either. My as well ride along with us, hell everybody else is."
"You a bounty hunter?" A man's gotta make a living somehow. "Dying ain't no living boy."
Josey was the best, it is Scott Eastwood’s favorite Clint movie
Fantastic video. Great review. I think you will see more Black Americans after the Civil War. Part of the movie is about searching for something better and you can bet that is why everyone is heading to the town of Horizon where they are told it exists.
I can't wait for the next parts.
Greetings from Wyoming. You got yourself another subscriber!
The movie was Amazing.
Your friends can't always like what you love ...
In this case Nobody liked what Jason loved. Horizon flopped so hard it didn't even last month in theaters before they pulled it. And the theaters owners cancelled Chapter 2.
Jason, first stop should be The Little Big Horn National Battlefield and Cemetery. Second should be the Nez Pearce National Battlefield in Chinook, MT.
Bless you, Jason Whitlock.
Whit is spot on. I loved it. A classically inspired throwback western from the days of John Ford with a cast of thousands. It's an epic with an epic set up. It's aspirational and not gratuitous. It was bright and not revisionist angst and revived the old western trope of having the setting act almost like a character in itself.
Yea Jason because you were alive in the 1800s thanks for telling us how reality was back then
Kevin Costner was really good in JFK (1991) director Oliver Stone
I’m super excited about this movie! I heard Joe Rogan is asking to Taylor Sheridan about the book Empire of the Summer Moon. That’s what this movie is all about. The book is unbelievable. So I am thrilled to have legit movies to watch.
I agree Jadon. Horizon was a great monie. I love that genre of movie, my wife doesn’t. I thought the 3 hours would drag, but it didn’t, went quick, loved the story lines. My wife loved this movie to. We are looking forward to episold 2
GREAT SHIRT MAN!
Love your content
"I need more action" lol
Guy was wearing an Elizabeth Warren shirt non stop. Do better Whitlock
I loved it. The only thing I didn't like is that it had no closure even though I knew that going in.
Westerns #1
Karate #2
The movie is actually filmed in Utah as far as I know
So many comments have said something about liberals hating Horizon. I am maybe not a true liberal but am definitely a moderate leaning toward liberalism. I live and admire westerns. One o my most favorite movies of all time is Open Range with Lonesome Dove my favorite tv mini series, and I think Horizon: An American Saga, Chapter1 is poetry in motion, a true classic for the ages. Definitely a thinking man's or woman's western to be treasured.
Horizon was great.
If it’s anything like hateful 8 I’m definitely gonna check it out
Hateful 8 is best movie made last ten years.
The fact it pisses off spike lee cuz it says n word to much makes .e like it more
Best part of hateful 8 is how no one lives but at end Mannix and Captain Marquis read the fake lincoln letter and I love how Minny had the no dogs and no Mexicans sign hanging up. That whole movie is so great everyone did their roles great
@@oldmansportsog2514 Give me Christian Bales in "Hostiles," whew, now there's a movie for you.
If you like westerns like me, you gonna like this movie! Is not perfect; is quite long and I am not very enthusiast about the multiple stories, but still I enjoyed this movie.
Compared with most of the stuff out there, this movie is pure gold!
Great movie!
I agree. I am excited to see this movie
I'm with Jason 100 percent, a classic, cant wait for part two , think Unforgiven.,..
He should’ve went to go see sound of Hope.
I get so tired of hearing people talk about Indians and they own this land. This land was conquered, just like lands have been since the beginning of time. They should be glad it wasn't ghengis khan or someone else. Yeah they were treated rough at times, takeovers aren't cute. They lost. Plain and s. Doesn't matter what the excuses, they lost.
Now all the citizens are “Indians” lol. Won a war they were used for.
I agree that we have to kind of move along from the past behaviors of people who are no longer here. But, I think people are critical of the WAY the Europeans conquered the Native Americans. People are supposed to improve over time and become more civilized in their dealings with other people. It may seem disappointing to some people that the Europeans were far from civil considering how far we were along in human history. Think about it: Would the United States be justified in simply "conquering" foreign sovereign countries today in modern times?
@@floydjr1478Every culture has individuals who try to expand their reach. Not all “Europeans” took part in the expansion across the North American continent. But their leaders were trying to expand their kingdoms!!!
Exactly. Indian s stole the land too
It's one of the most misunderstood and misguided periods of the America story. The truth that NO one likes to talk about is that ALL the "native" DNA comes from ASIA and that there is proof there was ANOTHER civilization here, PRIOR to their arrival and eventual conquest of that people. The 'native' tribes were a VERY divided bunch, many tribes were embroiled in LONG standing, VERY bitter rivalries. Elders told stories about other tribes and their barbarity over and over, many of them killed on sight members of other tribes, the hate was that deep.
The Spanish were met with thousands of people that were desperate for them to get rid of the human sacrifice cults (Maya, Inca, Aztec) that were murdering them in the name of their demon 'gods'. In truth, the 'native' blood lines are still here and in great numbers, from South America to the North Pole. The myth that they were some sort of 'nature elves', skipping though the forest in harmony with all things is a lie, the entire continent had just suffered a major famine before the arrival or Anglo's. There was also an ongoing plague that was ravaging tribes...this was NOT 'brought by the white man', it was the result of starvation and nutrient deprivation.
Loved the reality of the gunfight, no quick draw, Kevin had his gun cocked and at his side....as most folks would have......
It's good.. and part 2 drops in a month or 2.. and he's filming 3 and plan on 4 of them
Unfortunately, the film is a huge bomb. Let’s hope streaming will lure more watchers.
2LT Gephardt should not have had a Bar in 1862. Also, it was early for so many cartridge conversion pistols and Henry Rifles in 1862.
The Apache had a material culture not much different that this is 1862. Hell, I was up in Apacharia in 1989 on a Staff Ride at the MI School and they don't have much more now. {Except that they are free,, not on a Reservation and are left alone by the US Army.)
Great movie (it had to be, making a movie in Monument Valley if your name is not "Jack Ford" is the epitome of "temerity").
On the other hand, I don't think there is any demand for it, as good as it is.
It's definitely great
Great movie
The word Great is at an all time low. Too much inclusivity.
JW is right! WaterWorld, WyattEarp, Revenge, DWW, on and on! Thats what KC has always been about
Girl Scout cookies would be all I'd enjoy from such an experience. I'm with you Shameka
You should check out the series “Hell on Wheels.”
I love westerns. I agree with the 7 out of 10 grade for Horizon. It's definitely not a perfect score like Jason gave it.
The “Jones plantation” is still king 👑
I'll buy it when it streams but there is no way I'm sitting in a movie theater for 3+ hours. (Grumpy old guy)
rj, this is a good one to see on a big screen. There are very few of those anymore.
It flys by. If you can catch it on a discount day, I’d suggest it
I think it IS so important to watch it on a Big screen.
It feels really shorter than 3hrs cuz it's really well made.
Would be a pity to not enjoy it fully.
Shemeka, please travel to Montana, you'll be able to see Costner's vision. Just returned from Big Sky, and not that I'm a world traveler, I'm not, but that was sheer beauty. I was raised in the city, and fought this vacation, but I fell in love with the state. Onto the movie, I saw it when it was first released, and if you go, please note, you'll have to invest to see this series through. I understand, and have read the reviews, and certainly can see what the journalists are saying that appears negative. Again, if you go, please go not expecting it to wrap up in 3 hours, it doesn't, it keeps going, and that's why I trust 2, 3, & 4 deliver the goods. I'm really hoping for that, so we'll see. In terms of the racism, did you catch the Chinese towards the end of Chapter 1, and how they were treated, Shemeka did. I do agree, the film is a throw back to "1883," you had to be hard to survive.
Big my is beautiful!
Kevin filmed this in Utah and there won't be a 3 or 4 because #1 flopped.
nice shirt JW!
Horizon, was lousy. Come on, Jason.
Nice shirt, Jason. I want one.
😂
I saw the movie. I likes it. It was a 7.5 out of 10 for me. Good and will watch the others.
Cons: too many stories at one time. Kevin wasn’t on the screen enough.
Time jumps took me a minute to catch up because of how they did time. Cool way to do it, but lost me a time or two.
I love a good western from late 80s till now... but b4 that... hate them
I'm a big costner fan but didn't think much of this movie.
I love westerns and this was painful PAINFUL
Kevin Costner has more female fans than male fans. Costner couldn’t carry Eastwood’s pistols.
They’re both excellent.
Both (especially Eastwood) of them sat on the casting couch to promote their careers.
Both of these macho thespian have gotten over.
@@stephencarter744 Eastwood made his money and reputation by doing independent work for nearly free. Eastwood was outside Hollywood and broke in because of the popularity of his work. Costner was a company man kicked out of Hollywood.
@@JohnMack-f3f Nah, Clint Eastwood's career was launch during the 50's where he took _more_ 'beef cake' photos than guys like Rock Hudson, Tab Hunter, Anthony Perkins and Troy Donahue.
He was ambitious and made a faustian bargain with the degenerates who ran Hollywood back in the 50's.
Sorry to break it to ya, but macho thespian has gotten over.
Jason, I think every man has a deep desire to test himself and see how far he can make it. It is that biblical mandate to want to exercise dominion over God’s world. I just got back from the Alaskan wilderness for a week. Your guest is right. You will see how soft we have all become very quickly. You can’t be out of shape. You have to know what to do. It is not comfortable. Most people wouldn’t make it very long.
I agree its a great rendition of the West and struggles everyone encountered!!!!
Slow compared to todays action but great anyway!!!
You’d be surprised at what people can survive.
This guy said a pack of "Indians." Ridiculous!
Can’t front, that was a bit cringeworthy. At least give them enough respect and dignity to refer to them as, if anything, the Natives, that’s all.
And trust, I’m aware that the conversation wasn’t about that…but still. That’s me though.
You're shocked Shameka didn't like this??? Maybe if Kanye did the soundtrack she MIGHT have enjoyed it? 😂😂😂
I loved horizon and thought it was a great film. My only pushback is that I thought the movie was centered around Kevin Costner's character and not multiple stories. Jason's analysis of the film is really mundane because it's rooted in republican talking points. I wouldn't expect a movie like "Horizon" to appeal to women like Shemeka. We can't over look the distinct differences between the feminine and the masculine. History and hard core actions films don't appeal to the feminine and that's ok.
I LOVE THE HATEFUL 8
I'm like Snoop; I don't like slave movies. But I liked 12 Years A Slave because it showed that not all black people were slaves. It also showed that not all white people are evil, but some are.
Watch Dances with Wolves. It’s avatar before avatar
