"War Horse" is actually more of a literary film than a war film. He uses words to tell you the essence of war, and then uses pictures to show you the beauty in the war, hehe, the beauty of human nature.
It's just that after being lit up by those flashes of humanity, I can't help but secretly rejoice that I'm not a horse, even a consciously happy horse, a horse loved by many people.
When he was a child, the pony was forced to leave his mother and was taken to the market to sell. There was no way to change the fate of being bought and sold, and there was no way to choose the owner; then he attached and trusted the new owner, listened to his words, played with him, played with him, and played with him. Reclaiming the boundless stony land, but can not change the fate of being sold again, there is no choice; then he is loved by the new owner and accompanies him to life and death, and then, he is captured, facing death at any time, there is no choice; then he is fled and hidden. , was snatched to work as a coolie, and seeing his friend, the big black horse, died, he had no choice; in the end, the pony ran away, running and running, even if the thorn-like barbed wire entangled his body, he had to escape. He was in complete control of his own life for a moment, and how short it was! People came, people suspend their hostility to save him, people were moved by how much they cherished a horse and life in the harsh war, people saved his life because of this, and then, because he was a stranger of unknown origin. Bai's endangered life, and wanted him to die; after recognizing him as an English warhorse, people treated him like a soldier, so what? When he returned home after the war, he still had to be put on the auction stage because of a military order, and he was sold and traded just like the original; He was completely deprived of his right to make decisions, and even if there were many people helping him and giving him the precious lukewarmness in that environment, that wouldn't change that.
The ending is actually a warm one. The pony was able to return to his hometown with his original owner and his favorite owner, and got what he wanted, just like the apple tree in "The Boy and the Apple Tree", who was exploited for nothing but consciously happy. Happy tree.
