War Horse

Having not paid much attention to the trailers and commercials about this because I thought it was just some stupid animal movie that was going to rob me of a chance to see a good WW1 movie (which are very rare), I expected this to be lame.

Well aside from spending too much time on the farm in the beginning, I have no complaints. As much as it's a story about a horse, its just as much a story about the hardships of war that the people who take possession of the horse face; people from both sides and civilians.

The combat scenes are very well done as well.

It was very refreshing to see a real war movie that covers the darkness and human cost of war, instead of just people fighting each other for 2 hours or it devolving into a modern propaganda piece glorifying war.

Highly recommended.

Dorian Gray, deliciously depraved. Never read a book from Oscar Wilde, maybe I should.
