As someone who just watched Secretariat, let me just say that while I love and am fascinated by the story of this horse, the Disney-fied version of it was pretty much awful. Every cliche piece of scriptwriting banality ever conceived brought to bear like a two-hour artillery barrage.

You gotta love the brilliance behind Warhorse, though.

Hey, Stephen, wanna make a movie?

Sure, Bob. What should we make it about?

Hm. Well, we want it to appeal to a wide audience. What do women like?

Uh, horses?

Hey, that's good. What do men like?

Uh, war?

You're brilliant, man!


Look for future films to include War Ballerina, Battle Flowers, The Princess' Bullet, and others.

Does the horse die in War Horse? I'm not looking for any other spoilers, but if they kill the horse I don't want to put myself through that.

The Wikipedia entry gives the plot in fair detail.

No, the titular warhorse doesn't die. Lots of other other people do, but Joey does not.

Splish/clovis: No. At least he didn't in the play, but I'm assuming it hasn't changed too much.

My Friend Flicka?

And what about Francis Goes to West Point? (it should at least get half credit)
 
2011-12-26 06:51:14 PM
The Black Stallion is kind of like Cast Away, but with a horse instead of a volleyball and with a stirring race at the end instead of bitter disappointment. It's is based on a series of books that have more entries than than it has any right to, including one called, I shiat you not, The Black Stallion and Satan.

Hey now, I remember reading The Black Stallion and Satan as a kid. The later books in that series also included, seriously, aliens. Aliens who loved to watch horse races. I shiat you not.

I loved these movies so much, and for so long. It seemed like no one else knew what I was talking about when I raved about them.

I immediately thought of The Neverending Story, but I guess that doesn't qualify since the horse is only in part of the film. The most emotional part though, so I think that's worth something.

Thanks. It's what comes to mind every time I see a commercial for War Horse. And now, it will for you, too.

"She'll never know what she meant to me.
Whenever I was with her I was always as gentle as I could be.
And now I don't know why, but she's gone away.
And I'll just have to stand on my own two legs.

Your eyes, your smile
Made my little life worthwhile.
There's was nothing I couldn't do
When I was on top of you.

I'd pull her hair, and she'd know to stop.
And when she'd look behind her, I'd always be there.
And now I don't know why, but she,
she's gone.
And all I can do is try to carry on.

Your eyes, your smile
Made my little life worthwhile.
The sky was a lot more blue,
When I was on top of you.
When I was on top of you."
