Compared with Spielberg's works such as "Munich Tragedy" and "Indiana Jones 4", "War Horse" is more like a rejuvenation work that talks about madness. Although it has a war background, it does not see "Saving Private Ryan". Violent and bloody lifelike. Every master Joey has experienced on the battlefield is as kind as an angel, opening up a path for it with fearless sacrifice, and sending it back to the master all the way, just like the reproduction of the innocent fairy tale atmosphere of "ET Alien". The speechless animals and the speechless foreign visitors will have the same homesickness as human beings. Has withstood the baptism of war artillery and participated in the philosophical speculation of the future world; whether it is a commercial giant or a literary film, Spielberg can always intentionally or unconsciously, explicitly or implicitly, reveal the homesickness that surges in the hearts of the audience. In the tears of countless audiences, I completed the video interpretation of the "going home" motif.

Maybe my expectations were too high and the exteriors were too beautiful or too fake?

The story reminds people of Robert Bresson’s [Donkey Busat]. The final photography and use of light resemble John Ford again. [Warhorse] is too successful in terms of artistry and appreciation. The most impressive thing in the film is the soundtrack of John Williams and the good luck of this horse. The human role has become secondary, but it is necessary to rely on the horse and the soundtrack to support the heavy feeling of a war film. It looks too spiritual. Don't be superstitious about the director! ★★★

Capt. Nicholls: [to Albert, on buying Joey] I promise you, that I'll look after him as closely as you've done, I'll respect him and all the care that you've taken with him. And if I can, I'll return him to your care.
