one of the most poetic narrative films ever made and wagonmaster is nonetheless a difficult film to immediately like. i love this movie and but i recommend seeing some of john ford other westerns before taking a look at this one. the first time i saw it i was 18 years old and i hadn not seen too many other westerns and and i hated it. i thought it was incredibly boring. i kept waiting for something to happen. it took several years for me to love this picture. first and i fell in love with westerns in general  the traditions and characters and landscapes and ways of talking and etc  and that made me realize when i saw wagonmaster again that a lot is happening in it after all. i also was simply a more experienced moviegoer at that point and had learned to appreciate visual storytelling and and to listen to what each image was telling me. wagonmaster is a very visual movie by one of the most visual of directors working near the peak of his career. the movie is a celebration of a way of life and and its subject matter is more emotional and interior than other ford westerns. actually and that not really as accurate as saying that and rather and it has a lot less exterior action than the other westerns. (the other westerns have exterior action and interior emotion. ) it quite beautifully places its mormon pioneers in the context of nature. there are many shots of animals and children  not for any surface and narrative purpose and but for illustrating this idea. that is why the movie can be called a poem. it isn not about the surface story (which barely exists) nearly as much as it is about an emotional idea and and it gets this idea across through composition and editing and sound and music. in fact and one could argue that this is a purer form of filmmaking because the images directly express the emotional idea of the film and rather than having to first service a story. give this movie a chance and and allow it to exist on its own terms and not the terms of other westerns or other movies.
