and Iv'e heard people say it's cheesy, which I don't really agree with, I kinda look at it as a tribute to Spielberg's classics in the same sense that Raiders was a tribute to adventure serials. Aside from the effects which were great, I wouldn't guess this movie was made in 2011, and I'm not talking about that it's set in the 1920's but because there's a lot of aspects here from classic movies, I was constantly thinking of the relationship between E.T. and Elliott and how can you not love E.T. I mean it takes place in California, chest pump, anyway, this totally would've worked 30 years ago, and I didn't feel like it was trying to hard to be a classic, I give War Horse 4 Bugles out of 5
was amazing, the part where albert is whistling and is led through the crowd to Joey, the instant the music hits makes it so touching, it uses a ton of elements from Steven Spielberg's previous works
but back to Warhorse, Albert's relationship with the horse at the very beginning just seems kinda pushed and shoved down our throats, I mean were just supposed to buy that he loves this horse this much, what's so special about this horse, there's no build up, it really would've helped if maybe the horse saved his life, I mean give us anything, just give us a reason why he's so connected to this horse when he first sees him, if you could get passed that, the rest of the film is very well done, their relationship from then on I thought was good. There's a subplot about this German guy who lives with his granddaughter which was very well done, I think it gave us a good idea of how hard the war is for some people and how it effects them. It tied in really well with the end of the film when the grandpa meets joe, just the look on the grandpa's face when he sees albert interacting with the horse says so much. Everything you've heard about the cinematography is true, it's fantastic, it's gorgeous to look at especially when the horse is running through the war field, wow. The score
in that instead of Albert loving the horse at the beginning and then loving it at the end, certainly, there's more of a degree of love but their initial relationship I felt was sorta contrived and pushed. There was no real build up, he sees and loves the horse from the very the beginning and it would've been better in my opinion if they changed the plot a little bit so he wasn't the reason they kept the horse but perhaps they keep it for another reason and he loathes this horse, is annoyed by it so that by the end, when he and his beloved horse live happily ever after, it's stronger, this is a common idea in stories where the protagonist is against something, someone, or an idea and later on ends up getting really attached to whatever it was that he/she disliked at the begining. I can think of many examples but one would be the movie Million Dollar Baby where Clint Eastwood's character is totally against the idea of this girl boxing and is like no way, I'm not training you and as time goes on gets really connected to Hillary Swanks character and it's powerful because of how much he was against it at the beginning and how they both grew. Now that kinda process is usually used in hopeful movies but the reverse can be used for more dramatic betrayal type movies like Star Wars: Episode III, Anakin and Obi-wan are like best friends at the beginning and by the end become worst enemies. Unfortunately, that didn't have a big effect on us because so much that had to do with that change in their relationship was forced and contrived and it felt totally fake. But back to Warhouse,
Horses have always been used in a majority of certain movies like westerns, war films, dramas and I guess you'd categorize War Horse as a war movie, well obviously, and a drama. It's directed by Steven Spielberg who's had some missteps recently, for the most part, his newer movies aren't that bad, He directed the new Indiana Jones which was ok, you could probably blame for that, the fact he's involved in Michael Bay's Transformers trilogy doesn't really help his resume either but when I first heard of this movie, I figured it'd be good but I thought it was great, intact I'd go as far to say it's one of my favorite movies of the year. Basic premise is you got this kid named Albert who enlists to service in WWI after his horse, Joey, is sold to the cavalry. I felt the the Horse had more development than most characters in today's movies and you know that's not a good sign when a horse has more growth in a movie than actual people. One thing I thought they could've done was with Albert, now he develops as well but the dynamic with him and the horse could've been handled better

thanks bro hopefully we get enough Cali members to meet up for the avengers meet up
yo bro I'm liking the McDougal Bugle but as a OC Cali member you gotta join my spill Cali group
