Most important question re September Dawn
The most important question about September Dawn is not, "How factual is it?" but "Is it any good?" Whether you realize it or not, much of the popular perception of Napoleon comes from War and Peace. Same for Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra and Shakespeare's plays by those names. Art has a way of making indelible impressions that exceeds expositive non-fiction histories (some artists flatter themselves that it's its own profound kind of truth). Mormons better hope September Dawn is a crappy movie. What are the initial reviews? Any yet?

I read a review somewhere saying it was a crappy caricature.

I agree with Seattle and Mike has echoed the only review I read in a nonmormon reviewer's notes.

This is in the "politics" section because...?

I'd go watch it if Neil Diamond's "September Morn" was the in the soundtrack.
But to SU point, I've only heard bad things about it - from non-lds sources. They said it was straight-to-DVD quality. |
Here's a fairly damning review.

The only way anybody goes to see this thing is if Mormons freak out over it.
