A great performance from Hoffman, and a great historical movie itself.

In "Little Big Man", Arthur Penn creates a very diverse epic that is a showcase of great performances - Namely, the legendary Dustin Hoffman.

Penn used this movie as an anti-establishment message against the United States' involvement in Vietnam and in doing so he creates an incredibly frightening portrait of how the U.S. military treated Native Americans during 19th Century America. That being said, it makes this film all the more provocative. Despite this fact, the movie also posesses a good deal of satire, which I found to be particularly funny actually.

Terrible movie. Near the end I thought I was watch a blooper reel. I was honestly surprised when I found out the movie was still going on.

Bad acting, story didn't make any sense.

Good movie, but i think the Indians should have been a little more "authentic", it would have been a little more captivating to the audience.

One of my all time favorite movies. Honest despite being ahistorical. It breaks the stereotypical Western mold with some really great performances. I wish they'd show on TV--but they never do.
