Wyatt Earp - 1994 Epic Clips ft Joanna Going

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111756/
As epics go, this film ranks high on my list. I attribute this mainly to the screenplay, which is compelling, visual, and rich. The film follows the life of Wyatt Earp, from his boyhood, through the fight at the O.K. Corrall, and beyond.

Unlike other adaptations of the same subject (namely, Kurt Russell's Earp in 'Tombstone'), this film deals with the famous gunfight as merely a step in Earp's life. Rather, the film focuses on the man behind the legend. To do this, it looks at Earp's life in two stages: his life before, and after, a major transition.

Contrary to what some may think, Kevin Costner does a very good job portraying the lawman. His character experiences a wealth of emotion, but the script is so well written that Costner does not need to stretch himself to portray Earp effectively.

The film comes together so well because of an excellent musical score, visually stunning cinematography, and strong acting by the supporting characters. It draws the viewer in, so much so that you do not feel you are watching a film, but are experiencing a moment in history. The direction by Kasdan is quite low-key, allowing the viewer to be drawn into the story, rather than simply showing it to us.

I recommend this film to anyone who enjoys epic stories, wonderful acting (particularly Dennis Quaid, although Tom Sizemore and Michael Madsen are excellent as well), and visually compelling shots. Do not let the length dissuade you: Kasdan's film is well worth the three hours.

They were already too old for the role. The real guys were horribly young.

I thought the two movies bookended each other well artistically. I never knew all this backstory about Wyatt Earp before this. Especially his tragic earlier history. He himself admitted to never understanding why the media seized on his "street fight" and immortalized it.

I thought Costner's portrayal of Earp was more accurate. Russell played him a little too soft, as where Costner's Earp definitely had more of an edge. Kilmer and Quaid were both awesome as Holiday, so I wouldn't be able to choose there
