It was with great excitement (Peter's especially) that we saw our first western together in a movie theatre. A new western is rare these days. We enjoyed it thoroughly. It had a bit for everyone. It was a western with all the usual motifs, a love story with love twists, along with well constructed characters, all woven into a good and credible story. Appaloosa scored high on our scale of appreciation, and we'll probably purchase the DVD when it is available. Occasionally during the movie, there was a steady slowing of the pace that allowed us to put aside our impatience for action and to relax into the speed and meaning of the moment. It was a great movie to unpack, and we shared in a relaxed and enjoyable discussion about it later.
