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?

What about being directed by Steven Spielberg?

Ah, but that is no recomendation compared to John Williams.

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.

That's what I thought.

Oh! That sound interesting. Thanks for the summary, Joe.

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!

Is it sad?

Oh dear, hadn't thought of that. I don't like sad movies...

*waits expectantly for answer*

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.

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 totally agree.

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.

*wouldn't mind seeing this now since she knows Loki is in it*

Agreed.

If I'm not mistaken, that's precisely why we decided to check it out.
