The horse breeder talked about this movie that made plenty of tears—it was all about emotions.

Live in a family with two horses.
Our family decided to watch this movie a month ago.
My Mom and sister would burst into tears every time they saw the two-minute trailer on TV.

Put aside the beauty of Britain and France in this movie.
Leaving aside this really beautiful and strong horse.
Leaving aside the Sherlock Benedict Cumberbatch, who I like, appears in the film.
Leaving aside that David Klaus, who played the reader, has matured a lot.
Put aside the very beautiful little French girl.
Put aside the cruel but real battlefield pictures.
This film still made everyone's tears in the cinema.

And it all depends on feelings.

See here.
If you haven't watched this movie, go to the cinema as soon as possible.
The following will involve the plot.

========================= I am a spoiler ====================== ==

First of all, we must talk about the relationship between man and horse.
If you raise a horse from childhood to adulthood, you will understand how deep the relationship is.
You have to get up early at five o'clock every day to feed it.
I will comb it in the afternoon. Feeding.
You have to ride it when you are free. Train it.
Take an apple or carrot before going to bed as a supper by the way, good night by the way.
Put on a raincoat when it rains.
When you are sick, you should try to mix medicines that he doesn't like into the food so that he doesn't notice it.
You raise it like a child.
So I cried when Albert and Joey parted.

Fortunately, Joey met a good officer.
He is also very caring about it.
It's a pity that he died in battle.
I cried again when the corpses of war horses were all over the floor.
The horse can only see the sides and not the front.
They can only trust their owner very much when they cross the jungle.
This kind of trust that ignores the dangers ahead is rare.

At this time, the relationship between the horse and the horse appeared in the film.
The two horses that competed against each other cherished each other because they lost their masters.
The small movements of them rubbing each other's faces I know are their friendly way.
They were captured. Raised by German soldiers who like them.
Follow the German soldiers to flee the team.
Found by a little French girl.
It was later snatched away. Back to the army.
It's a pity that they are no longer war horses but used to pull heavy weapons.
The pit where the horse corpse is buried is shocking.
Joey volunteered to pull the weapon in order to protect his companions.
really sorry. I cried again.
Fortunately, when it was about to hold on, the labor was over.
But on the way, its companion eventually fell down.
Watching it die slowly, my tears flowed out again.
Joey also lost his rationality at this time.
Partners are the most important for horses.
When one of our two horses left the stable.
The other horse will run wildly around the fence of the racecourse.
So I fully understand how Joey feels when he is irrational.
It ran around on the battlefield. My tears kept streaming when I finally got entangled in the wire and couldn't move.
I was desperately thinking don't die, don't die.

Then came the feelings of people that moved me.
Movies with war backgrounds will always depress me.
They always remind you how cruel war is.
How many people were sacrificed, how many people were injured, and how many people lost their homes.
But on the battle line where the atmosphere of the two sides is tense.
British soldiers and German soldiers came together because of a horse.
The German brought pliers.
They cut the wire from Joey while chatting.
In order to decide who the horse belongs to.
The German suggested a fight between two people.
The British said that I don't want to start a war right away.
Finally they decided to toss a coin.
They shook hands before leaving.
The German gave the pliers to the British and said: commemorate the handsome German guy you met here.
This time I cried not because of heartache but because I was moved.
Soldiers fought for the country on the battlefield.
But who wants to be like this in the end.
The warmth of people and people will always surpass the so-called victory and defeat.

Joey, who had returned to the British camp, was shot to death because of serious injuries.
Some people may not understand why it was killed because of some injuries on the leg.
Let me explain.
If the horse's disease will bother the horse.
It will often lose its rationality.
There is no way for people to ride.
And it will die in pain.
So our family euthanized a horse with a leg injury.
Fortunately, before the gunshot, Albert saved Joey with his old password.
I cried the moment they met again. Crying miserably.
Joey rubbed Albert's face lightly.
Albert asked him where in the world you have been.
I remembered that when Albert and Joey separated, he said that I would find you no matter where you were.
Fortunately, they met again.

last of the last.
The soldiers in the barracks gave all their money to Albert.
Let him buy back Joey who is going to be auctioned.
Time is like going backwards.
It was also because of an auction that year that Joey returned to Albert.
It's a pity that the French grandfather bought it.
At this time Joey broke free of the rope he was holding and ran towards Albert.
Just like when it was auctioned when it was a child, when it was in a barracks, when its chief was killed in battle, and when it was captured.
It broke free of the reins. Back to its owner.

The ending is comforting.
The war is over.
Albert recovered and returned home with Joey and military merit.
Joey in the sunset is so beautiful.

At this moment I finally laughed.

========================Spoiler finished ======================= = I

don’t remember whether it was the New York Times or which magazine said this is the most anticipated movie of the year.
indeed.
War Horse brought a successful end to the film market this year.

    Probably the most gentle war film in history. Everyone is so gentle to death!

  • D'angelo 2022-03-26 09:01:05

    The sensational blockbuster of the orthodox ancestry puts Joey's tenacity and his friendship with the boy Albert at the core, while also ensuring that there are enough shots to show the brutality of the war. There were laughter and tears growing up, tears spilling into the trenches on the battlefield, and the uncontrollable feeling of reunion. The backlit shot of Albert riding his warhorse home as the sun sets is very emotional. Praise Williams' soundtrack, it's so contagious.
