      untitled

      I like the horse running freely at the beginning of the movie, watching the horse roll cutely on the grass, I know, this is what I like.

          
      I believe there is a force in this world that lives beneath the surface,
      something primitive and wild that awakens when you need an extra push just to survive,
      like wildflowers that bloom after fire turns the forest back.
      Most people are afraid of it, and keep it buried deep inside themselves.
        
      But there will...

      Katie and Flicka, Spiritual Companion

      Grace and pilgrims, Katie and Frika, what we need after all is a spiritual companionship, giving us the greatest spiritual support in our growth and transformation. These two films of the girl and the horse are fond memories of my school days. Frika was watched in my favorite Helen class. Who doesn't like the free attitude of galloping into the wind, experiencing adventure, and running unrestrained. After watching it, many friends were brought in by Katie like me. Then Lao Si's "War Horse"...

      Free Card Ending Line Entry

      Salute to the unfamiliar subtitle group.

      I believe there's
      a power lurking in the heart in this world
      that raw wildness that
      revives when you need extra support like a wild flower that bursts out of a
      forest after a fire Most people fear it and bury it deep inside But there will always be a few who have the courage to love those untamed natures ... Maybe our lives are for, to find a place: a place where we can see the light and the future, a place where we can...

      Who is wild?


        Because the family raised horses when I was a child, and later went to college. The university is in the suburbs. There are also many horses and a special horse track. Every time I ride them, I feel like running towards freedom. Had a wild horse and was thrown around the horse's neck and fell off it (dangerous! It's not a movie). If I could have a farm like Katie's, I would too, far away from the hustle and bustle in the beautiful idyllic mountains.
        I don't know if the pig...

      maiden and mustang

      Flicka, the story of the maiden and the wild horse. The beginning of the film is the magnificent scenery of the western United States, large fields, rolling mountains, galloping horses... In addition to the "Wyoming" where the story takes place, it immediately reminds me of the beginning of "Brokeback Mountain", " The two cowboys in Wyoming...", it turns out that my association is not unreasonable, the filming location of this film is the same place where Ang Lee filmed "Brokeback Mountain"....

    Evaluation action

    "Flicka" changed the little boy in the original novel into a lovable girl, but the warm blend of people and horses remained unchanged. The 27-year-old Alison Lohman played a 16-year-old girl without seeming abrupt, and Tim McGraw also returned to the original Western cowboy image. The real selling point of this tale of a teenage dreamer and a mustang is its simplicity and sincerity, with no complicated jumping flashbacks or boring...

    Movie quotes

    • Rob McLaughlin: Our daughter lives in a fantasy land.

      Nell McLaughlin: So do you! Look at you, sitting on top of Cowboy Mountain looking down at the world passing by. When are you going to look at your daughter and realize that she's you?

    • Rob McLaughlin: There's no good reason why this animal should be alive.

      Nell McLaughlin: There's a very good reason she's alive-she's got mustang blood in her. She's a fighter, just like our girl.
