Synopsis

From the back cover:

All the Pretty Horses–the first volume of the Border Trilogy–tells of young John Grady Cole, the last of a long line of Texas ranchers. Across the border Mexico beckons–beautiful and desolate, rugged and cruelly civilized. With two companions, he sets off on an idyllic, sometimes comic adventure, to a place where dreams are paid for in blood.

Comments

• This one was a good one, and I remember being very fascinated by the particular setting of this story–somewhere around WWII in the southwest I believe. I think most of that comes from having lived in Tucson for many years and having ingested the baseline romanticization of the old-west that continues to pervade the culture there.

TODO

Purchase and watch the movie for this film that came out in the mid nineties.
