War Horse (2011)




Drama | History | War

 

For a moment I was totally satisfied and then disappointed of War Horse. The reason for satisfaction is the epic portrayal of love the humans are capable of showing even in the depths of a horrific war. And the beauty of the affection towards an animal, and the love received from the wild animal in return. The reason for disappointment is that it doesn’t really stand up to the level of a Spielberg movie. Or maybe I expected too much and offered too little by it. I thought of wars in epic proportions and war heroes that I’d remember till I die. But this doesn’t offer that or this is not about all that. It’s about an ordinary horse that lives through extraordinary situations and survives to be a remarkable animal. Adapted from a children’s book this has the qualities to become a fairy tale. It has a dreamy beginning and a sunny happy ending. And mix it up all together it is the best plot and movie about a horse after the Spirit, the animation.


4/5

 

Synopsis: Young Albert enlists to serve in World War I after his beloved horse is sold to the cavalry. Albert's hopeful journey takes him out of England and across Europe as the war rages on.
