War Horse

Posted on August 17, 2018 by Village Vidiot

I was underwhelmed by this sentimental, rather formulaic Steven Spielberg-directed and produced very big film. Not a bad movie, just rather more traditional than I enjoy. Some of shots seemed like homages to “Gone With the Wind”. A tenant family spends too much on a special horse that is truly special. He saves the farm and inspires all he comes in contact with during World War I (and yes, war is hell). I suspect it would play much bigger and better on the big screen, but the dialogue, acting, plot, etc are just too predictable for my taste. Not bad, just not good
