A wonderful story, well told. Captures the beauty of Northern New Mexico, the truth about the people of the land and just a good tale. The native tale mixed with a reality of changing society. Great video to watch and ponder.
Summary of The Milagro Beanfield War
A poor new mexican dares to grow beans with a developers deeded water. Directed by robert redford. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 05/31/2005 Starring: James Gammon Richard Bradford Run time: 117 minutes Rating: R Director: Robert RedfordRobert Redford's underrated directorial follow-up to his Academy Award-winning Ordinary People, The Milagro Beanfield War is a loose and whimsical fable about community pride and social activism in the face of modern progress. Sonia Braga (Kiss of the Spider Woman) plays a local mechanic in a small New Mexico town who takes up the challenge of rallying support for a local farmer who uses water owned by a real estate developer to grow beans in his field. Everything escalates to a showdown between the townspeople and the developers, with unexpected results. The strongest aspect of the film is the way it doesn't take itself too seriously, with Redford adopting a leisurely tone and allowing his fine cast (including Ruben Blades as the pragmatic town sheriff and Christopher Walken as a nasty state police officer) to deliver finely nuanced performances that touch on themes of faith and perseverance without seeming heavy-handed. The Milagro Beanfield War is an overlooked gem. --Robert Lane
