      Believe in miracles - a phrase about "War Horse"

      The words I wrote on my blog 2 years ago... I
             rarely watch movies on weekends, but I watched War Horse with my friends today. I don't think just good-looking is enough to express the feeling this movie brings.
             The father who brought the horse home told the child how to bear the weight of the dream;
             the little boy taught the war horse to break through itself and be competent for the heavy physical farm work of ordinary horses;
             the Germans taught...

      To cry and laugh, all becauce of u, Joey

      Hello Joey,

      I still remember the first day we met. U were so tiny and loved to stand behind your mum. But then u have to live on yourself.

      Believe it or not, I promised to treat u well. I didn't know dad had to sell u just as u had no idea that u had to leave ur mother and met me one day.

      I never knew there's a game called the War. Yes, but it's real, it came between us. Both of us had our way, we needed to face the unknown world. I dared, not afraid, but to lose...

      stupid war

      Not too complicated and not too many unexpected movies, many plots can be guessed at a glance how the follow-up will develop. There were many movies of this type when I was a child, and now such a deliberate movie will be poorly evaluated. Therefore, I didn't feel much touched by this movie, and I don't understand why the big director Spielberg made such a straightforward movie. During the war years, not only people suffered, but even horses did not get a good death. The whistle of the...

      The world is so loving

      Joey is a miraculous horse
      makes war cruel but in war can also have a very warm humanity
      Better
      yet, the British and French soldiers joined together to save joey, who was tied up with iron wire, although two hours later, they had to see it again
      .
      The love between horses trekked for three days and bought a horse at a sky-high price.
      After knowing that the real owner is Jeremy, I gave the horse back
      to Joey, changed hands many times, or returned to the...

      "Come on, my unicorn, even a hail of bullets won't stop you from going home."

      "War Horse" war.horse2012, Lone Rock Film Review 8.2 points, 13 Rated.
      A ploughing horse was recruited as a war horse. In the meat grinder-like battle of Verdun, it witnessed the massacre of the crowd under Mark Qin, tasted the cold-blooded slavery, experienced the death of a partner in front of him, and finally It was angry, she hated the war, she wanted to return to her poetic fields, to plough the fields, to have children... Yes, even if there are thousands of rivers and mountains, even...

    The Return of the "Going Home" Motif

    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...
