    Outstanding
  

*by J***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 17, 2021*

Tom Hanks proves once again why he's an academy award winner. The script is well-written the actress that plays the lost girl is outstanding. It's a story of two people each with different demons, Hanks the civil war veteran comes is still dealing with the loss of his wife and the deep grief he is wrestling with. The lost girl who was kidnapped by Kiowa Indians finds herself alone, with the memory of her now-dead family.  Through their shared grief Hanks endeavors to take to her aunt, along the way they faced threats that serve to bring them closer.Hanks dropped her off at her aunt's house and heads home to finally face the loss of his wife, realizing how lonely and empty his life has been, he realizes that she doesn't belong with the aunt, who only sees her as farm labor. Hanks rides back to get her and see's that she's been tied to a post by a rope attached to her ankle.  It's in that scene Hanks and the little girl, rip your heart out and stamp it on the floor, its an accomplishment for any actor to impart those deep emotions from the screen, is no easy feat, but Hanks and his co-star manage to do just that.The movie has not one swear word, no copious amounts of blood, no never-ending western violence. There's only a couple of scenes where Hanks is defending his charge where he kills his attackers, but even then you want Hanks to do away with the bad guys who try and buy her from him earlier, when he won't sell her they chase Hanks with the intent to gun him down to get to her.It's an example of great filmmaking without tons of special effects, green screens, or CGI graphics. It's a well-told story with a happy ending. It would be better to see it on the silver screen, but nothing about the movie is lost watching it on a flat-screen. It's still a powerful story, about love, loss, redemption. It is a story that happened in the west in our early history many times over. In fact, the last Comanche warrior chief Quanna Parker was the son of a white captive girl. On the morning of May 19, 1836, while most of the men of the fort were working in the fields, a band of Indians came over the hill to the east of the fort, though warned not to do so, one of the few remaining men within the fort went out to try and prevent the impending disaster. After talking with several of the warriors, Benjamin Parker returned to the fort, saying the Indians wanted beef, a place to camp, and directions to water. Benjamin returned to the Indians with beef but was quickly surrounded and lanced. The Indians then charged the fort before the gate could be closed. Five settlers were killed and five were captured, the most famous being Cynthia Ann Parker, who was 11 when she was taken by Comachies, "rescued" twenty-four years later by Sul Ross and Charles Goodnight at the Battle of Pease River where her second son "Peanut" was murdered by white soldiers. The title "Battle of Pease River" is misleading, it wasn't so much a battle was it was murdering women and children, old people who were running away, many died trying to get across the river shot in the back.Another captive who was with Cynthia Parker, Rachael Plumber was a captive in the same Comanche tribe for 24 months but was purchased back. She dictated her experience and it was published in 1838. Cynthia Parker couldn't speak or read English she was taken back to the white world that she was born into.  But as depicted in "News of The Day" white captive women/girls were defiled passed around as Indian women were,  Cynthia and Rachael would've been ostracized by the upright moral citizenry of the day.  Cynthia like the little girl in News Of The Day would've badly treated by whites who blamed the captives for being captured.  Cynthia's daughter Prairie Flower died of the flu Cynthia Parker committed suicide shortly after in 1871. Her son Quanna Parker, lived until 1911 he was 66 when he died, he is buried next to Cynthia, Peanut,  and Prairie Flower.In News of The World Hanks and the girl, each left alone in the world, swept up by events beyond their control the girl rescued by Hanks is left each has to learn to trust each other if they are to survive their journey.  You briefly see Indians, but they don't try and take her back by force. Instead, it's white men who try and buy her from Hanks so that they can sell her into sexual slavery.  The script is well written and without one curse word, proving that you can write a good story without using profane language.

    Battle of wills turns into a bonding experience to survive the Old West
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 1, 2023*

Tom Hanks travels the Old West reading people newspapers but more importantly telling them stories and entertaining them. He comes across Helena Zengel a young girl raised by Native Americans and decides to try to find her relatives so she can live with them. The movie begins as a battle of wills between the two. Zengel for instance speaks no English and constantly rebels because she doesn’t want to be with the white man. The movie then becomes a story of bonding between the two as Hanks comes to care for her and the two have to survive the hardships of the West.Besides the characters what else stands out about News Of The World is the huge sweeping landscapes. It really captures the sense of the West as this giant open expanse.Finally the ending will put a smile on your face.

    Simple good story that hits hard
  

*by S***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 27, 2023*

There are many instances of frontier men, women, & children leaving for Indian society... this is very much strongly rooted in history... even to this day with regards to older style societies.During colonial times there was even a ban on joining indian society due to so many people joining it... that sense & goal of freedom I imagine wound up as part of the constitution as a compromise between both societies.In many ways modern people find themselves to be that child lodged into assembly lines of today fearful of risk.Its a good story... surprisingly relevant to today.
