Well, has any one seen it? If so, what did you think? I was especially drawn to the movie simply because the score is written by John Williams.  The acting was good, there was little (if any) objectionable content, and great screenplay. I can't say I was particulary moved by it, mainly for the reason that I rarely empathize with animals. Still, it was certainly a good movie. What did you think? |

This sounds familiar to me... was it a Western?

No, War Horse is Spielberg's latest film that has just been nominated for best picture at the academy awards. It is about a boy looking for his horse that was taken from him and made into a war horse to serve in WWI. |

I haven't seen, but I my mom might be interested in seeing it. I've seen it described as Schindler's List, except with horses. |

I would highly recommend this. It is brilliant, the best film of the year so far.  I was very impressed with it, and would watch it over and over again. I know my Mother and my sister, and in fact all my family, will love it!

It is sad, but not hopeless. Personally, I wouldn't describe it as Schindler's List with horses, although quite a few people do die. The horse doesn't die, however, which is why I don't think it's too sad. |

The film reminded me a lot of Black Beauty. It has sad parts in it: like where you get to know a horse and then it dies, or is killed etc; there is death in the film, but it has a happy ending. I liked it and I do not like sad films or films with sad endings. It is sad in parts, but not overly sad for it to be depressing. |

But I appreciated that the horse didn't die, since that differentiates it from the hordes of sob stories that ends with the death or maming of the horse. |

I found War Horse pretty boring. I managed to get through it though. I wouldn't watch it again. |

*gasps* *swoons* Delightful movie.  Sure it's not fast pace constant action, but it's intelligent, and in some aspects beautiful. The symbolism is really well-done. They tell the story well. They captured the time period REALLY well. Aaaand Tom Hiddleston is in it.  So basically it's perfect. Watch the movie all ya'll. |

I really liked the movie. (And I usually don't like horse films.) It started really slow but once the war actually started it was great. |

Is it scary? I was thinking of getting it for my sister when it came out on DVD. |
