Cimarron (1931)
7/10
epic 1930 Western
20 October 2007
Cimarron traces the early history of Oklahoma,starting with the land rush in 1899.from there it spans forty years in the development of that land into an eventual American state and the advances of technology that came with it.the story itself is an epic tale,so its focus is pretty broad.this sort of makes it a bit impersonal at times.it starts off slow,but somewhere along the lines it picks up and becomes somewhat compelling.i also found it interesting how people behaved back in that time,at least according to the movie.it does feel a bit like a silent movie at times.some of the acting feels over exaggerated.that sort of makes sense,since talking pictures had just recently replaced silent films as the movie medium.so,many of the actors would have been used to acting in silent pictures.nevertheless,i still enjoyed it,for the most part.for me,Cimarron is a 7/10
