Featured review
I was touched when I saw this show first approximately 10 years ago. I think I was in junior high or high school at that time. I still remember the moment that one white guy chose to die and native people decided to kill him respectively in their ritual way. Speaking of the atmosphere of the show, I didn't really care about the shooting scenes themselves in general and also in this show, but the reasons why they fought were adorable. People in the show could die for their dignity, which was similar to part of the Samurai spirit in Japan hundreds years ago. Well, the shooting scenes didn't have much percentage in the show, though. Anyway, what I'm saying is that this show has stories and it is not like the just-shoot-them-all-because-they-are-bad "masterpiece" Western movies. I really hope this show will come out on DVD.
