Movie Reviews of Monte Walsh
Movie Review: Selleck is wonderful in this timeless movie
Summary: 5 Stars
You don't have to love westerns to appreciate Monte Walsh. There's times where we all might feel a little overwhelmed with modern changes and Selleck's character is no different.
He holds true to himself and his cowboy "code" that so many others lose along the way.
It's a beautiful film with Monte experiencing the highs and lows we all go through in life,; hard work, good times, celebration and loss. All this while the world around him changes. I personally think this is one of the most emotionally touching movies he has made. It really does have everything you look for in a good film.
I truly feel Mr. Selleck is one of the best story-tellers of our time. He reminds me a little of Gregory Peck or Gary Cooper. Boyish at times, yet has presence about him of honor and sincerity. It shows up in all his roles.
I hope Mr. Selleck continues to make these movies. This is the only way I know how to not intrude on someone's privacy, but to say thank you at the same time.
I identified with this movie so much, I actually bought several to give as gifts to friends and family who appreciate a good story.
They loved it, and I'm sure you will to.
Summary of Monte Walsh
Tom Selleck is at his iconic best in this made-for-cable remake of Monte Walsh, a poignant Western about the passing of an American age and the people attached to it. Selleck plays the title character, a career cowboy whose rhythms are aligned with the seasons and the annual herding of cattle from Wyoming to Texas. Faithful to his ways, loyal to his best friend (Keith Carradine), and satisfied with his part-time romance with an ailing, aging saloon girl (Isabella Rosselini), Walsh is happy until his 1890s world rapidly unravels. Eastern corporations are buying up land and shutting down ranches; trains are shuttling livestock faster than an army of cowhands. Walsh can't accommodate the future, and those closest to him are moving on. Director Simon Wincer (Lonesome Dove) masterfully balances the epic and elegaic, Selleck is perfect as a fading footnote to history, and Monte Walsh becomes a universal tale of loss and integrity. --Tom KeoghTimes change, Monte Walsh doesn't. For him, being a cowboy isn't a job, it's a life. And that's something the fenced-in, corporate-bean-counting ways of the onrushing 20th century must never alter. Tom Selleck plays Monte, struggling to continue the life he knows while seeing the new era nudge the cowboy way toward history's dustbin. Lonesome Dove Emmy winner Simon Wincer directs this Western featuring a superb supporting cast and based on a novel by the author of Shane.
