Thoroughly 'meh'.

thanks



[meast36]

Correct me if I'm wrong but in the original, didn't Gus walk alone on the plains after a fight with some indians carrying nothing but his saddle and run across a party of settlers that included July? And wasn't July killed either that night or several nights later? I may just be remembering everything wrong but I thought that was how it all went down. Can someone help me?

[markmeetsworld]

@meast36 You were right until you got to the part about July. He never died. It was Roscoe. While Gus and July ambushed Blue Duck's camp and killed all his men, Blue Duck killed Roscoe and the two kids who were with him.

[krosero]

So is it implied here that July stays in Montana and Clara is separated from Martin? Wonderful movie by the way, especially Voight.

thanks for uploading, makes me want to go out and ride a horse.

[chippewaman1975]

In the novel Streets of Larado, if I remember right, it is revealed that Newt is killed when he is thrown off of the Hell Bitch. It says the whole Montana thing was a business failure and Call sells the cattle and horses cheap and goes back to Texas.

[markmeetsworld]

@chippewaman1975 That's right. "Return" was the only movie that wasn't a book first.

[tpglo]

Jon Voight is such a tremendous actor. He put his own touch to the role.

[RaiceGeriko]

I avoided this movie for years until just this morning. I wouldn't watch it because I thought there's no way it could be as good as the first one, which was just superb. But, I have to say, I really love this one too.

Also, there are officially now two movies that have almost made me break down into tears: Lonesome Dove and Return to Lonesome Dove. I think you'd have to be a guy to appreciate the gravity of a love between a father and his son, especially when it was an uphill battle.

[redifreddy14]

Voight played a very powerful role... the Woodrow Call character lost nothing in this film...tremendous

[markmeetsworld]

@redifreddy14 i absolutely agree. the truth is, if he had played call in the first movie, nothing would have been lost. but we certainly couldn't do without duvall. he WAS gus mccrae.

[tasunka1000]

Bless yer cotton socks...!...all the best...!

thnx for posting

[MizPorou]

really enjoyed watching that again,,,thanks Mark :-)

[markmeetsworld]

@MizPorou you're surely welcome. it's one of my favorite movies- well the sequel anyway.

[MHG10908]

what exactly did captain call say to newt from 3:30-3:41

Like what does "Scotts" mean?

[markmeetsworld]

@MHG10908 Scottish

[MHG10908]

@markmeetsworld I know, but why is it such an emotional moment between the two?

[markmeetsworld]

@MHG10908 Anyone who has seen LONESOME DOVE knows the truth about Newt's father, Call. In this scene he finally tries to overcome pride about his "mistake" from the past and tell Newt he is his father, but instead of saying "Call, that's your FATHER'S NAME," he just says "That's Scotts, so they tell me." He just can't bring himself to say it right out.

[kozmon0t]

@markmeetsworld I've seen a lot of those truths everyone knows shot down on daytime talk shows.

Maggie, Woodrow, Jake, Gus, Clara, and Newt on the Maury Povich show... who knows what they'd say. McMurtry never actually said, either.

[kozmon0t]

@markmeetsworld Maury Povich paternity testing, that is. They should go on his show and settle the whole thing for good.

[markmeetsworld]

@MHG10908 i'm sorry to be replying to this six months later, but i'm not on youtube every day so i don't always know when i've received a question or comment.... anyway, it is so emotional because newt already knows call is his dad. gus told him the truth before he died, and call knows that newt knows about him b/c when he lay dying gus told call he told him all about it. he is still ashamed to admit it, though, because newt's mother maggie was a prostitute.

[ericynot]

"Return" doesn't have Robert Duvall, so it can't quite stand up to the original, but in almost every other regard the two stand shoulder to shoulder. Thanks to Mark for uploading both.

the Lonesome Dove trilogy are the grestest westerns ever made
