In rural Texas 1902, 13-year-old Horace (Haas) toils on a run-down plantation to buy a tombstone for the father he lost a year earlier.

But on Christmas Eve, as Soll becomes obsessed with his own mortality, hemakes a grand promise forcing Horace to confront his fear of death and the harsh truths of a decadent society.

I kind of have the feeling that American movies didn’t use to be as critical of America’s past as they are today. Robert Duvall portrays a slave-owner, but in the end you’ll be rooting for him because he isn’t that bad after all. And to make the story more palatable, they put into is a kid who’s a real smart-pants. ()
