September Dawn (2007)

Not as good as I thought it would be

I like movies based on actual historical events, so was looking forward to September Dawn. I was let down. Not sure exactly what, but something was missing from this movie. Maybe it's the fact too much time was spent on the fictional love story. This movie barely held my interest. July 15, 2008

The Glaring Ugly Truth

Wow, what an eye opening subject. Why is it that I have lived in the great USA for 35 years and never heard of this terrible massacre? Why is it not in our school history books? I just finished a college course called "American Civilization," that covered the 1400's - 1900. There was lots of info on the savage indians and the civil war officers but nothing on this horrible event? How shameful of us to cover up so much of our own ugly history. Pretty disgraceful.

I am very thankful that this was brought to light and now has the chance of reaching many of us who would otherwise have never learned about it.

Quit censoring our text books!!!!!!!!!!!!

WITHOUT QUESTION THE WORST MOVIE I HAVE SEEN

I cannot believe that Jon Voight would consent to be in this horribly written, directed, and acted in movie. I must conclude that he and the other actors were blackmailed into doing so. The bigotry against Mormons and the false facts in it are an insult not just to Mormons but to anyone viewing the movie represented as a historic. Do not buy or rent this movie. It is a waste of time and money and it would only encourage the producers and director make more of this type of filth!! If I could give negative stars I would give it a -10 stars. June 24, 2008

A hate Mormons movie

It isn't a well kept secret that people have tried
to put an end to the Mormon religion, or that the Mormon's have fought for their rights and mostly lost.
Many times religions have called themselves 'God's People'.
In this case killing the stranger within your borders
is strictly forbidden by old testament scripture,
but it hasn't stopped either 'Christian' side (Indian massacres)
This is love story of star crossed lovers and a black horse
when death and destruction are gathered all around.
The Piautes and Mormons together...
Do you really think a God of love has sympathy for either side? June 18, 2008

Interesting reviews of a religion

Most of the reviewers here are reviewing a religion, not a Hollywood movie. How about reviewing the movie, the script, the directing, the acting, you know, stuff like that. And who in the world with a modicum of intelligence or common sense would expect accurate history to come from Hollywood? Hollywood is a business that focuses on making money for those in the industry and profit for the shareholders; that's it. Even the best historical scripts are "based on" something historical, and as such are mostly fictionalized so as to be entertaining above all else. Can the reviewers just stick to reviewing movies and not people's faith. June 8, 2008
