George Solonos and John Waugh presents: The Big Sky

Good song !! Amazing sax interpretation

"The Big Sky" closes Reverie with an expansive, uplifting energy. Blending jazz elements with world influences, the track feels like movement—open roads, distant horizons, and a sense of freedom. The melodies flow effortlessly, carried by soaring saxophones and intricate guitar work, creating a soundtrack that’s perfect for traveling, both physically and emotionally.

With its vast, airy feel, The Big Sky captures the essence of exploration—whether it’s a journey through landscapes or within oneself. It’s the kind of piece that makes you want to keep going, no matter where the road leads.

The Big Sky (1952)

A group of rogue fur traders head up the Mississippi river to deal with some Native Americans but when two members of the party fall for the same kidnapped princess, it could spell trouble.

A great deal of the iconography for this film is invested in the scenery of wide open spaces, building on a wealth of national rhetoric about the future being ready for exploitation at the time. Some of the characters are amusing if not actually engaging, much of their endearing quality being based on their philosophical outlooks.

As one may expect from a film based in US history, there’s an awful lot of casual racism and sexism saturating the story and dialogue. This along with a kind of pseudo-masculinity disguised as banter makes it wearing to watch at times and outright distasteful frequently with particular emphasis on ignoring the culture of the already established population.

In some ways it’s so obvious in its methods that it could work as an exposé of historical propaganda techniques by highlighting typical terms and imagery like ‘pioneers’, ‘Indians’, or the mentions that they’re the first people to explore and face the dangers of the people whose land it already is. There are a few better scenes closer to the end where the two cultures briefly interact without conflict, though it’s still largely clichéd.

The pace is draggingly slow due to the journey being one of gradual plodding, with several days of sitting around being cut sometimes. There’s little suspense when they’re not being attacked and even the threat of a fight involves far too much waiting. The ending is also thoroughly underwhelming as it’s less a pay-off than a retraction of a decision with no visual stimulation.

2/10 -It’s not THE worst, that’s something else. But…-
