      This piece has to be watched with wine!

      I have been downloading this film for a while, and I have never thought of watching it.
      During this period of time, I was tired of online games, and accidentally discovered that this movie was still stored on the computer. When I opened it, I gradually felt a little bit interesting when I saw the protagonist came to West Asia. It seemed to have some shortcomings. So he got up and poured a glass of white wine, looking for something to accompany him. Look all the way.

      American "Environmental Protection" Film--Hidalgo

      I was deceived by Hidalgo’s second scene, a bloody white slaughter of Indians, which made me think that when more and more whites reflect on the disasters their ancestors have done to this land, the story is still full of individuals. The introductory title and the exciting background music.

      Disney has also contributed a typical American personal heroism blockbuster. Well, a production company known for its cartoons should indeed give young people more incentives and less pollution....

      There is a power called spirit

      The beginning of the film made me mistakenly think that this is an old-fashioned western cowboy film, but in fact the main battlefield of the story is completely unfolded in the desert of the Arabian Peninsula.

      Similar to the Disney cartoon "Little Horse King", the protagonist of the story is definitely the stubborn Indian wild horse.

      Although the whole article is a bit of a promotion of Western civilization, the American spirit of advocating freedom is not new in Hollywood...

      Inspiration from horses

      First of all, this is a true story, including the horse.
      The brave and determined American knight Hopkins took an untamed wild horse to participate in the traditional horse racing competitions of Arab countries. The environmental conditions of the game are unimaginably difficult. The brave Hopkins is a cowboy of the American West. He has typical American humor and self-confidence. The bravery and perseverance of his beloved Mahai Dräger in the course of the game was shocking. Occasionally...
