Spieborgian Symbolism

War Horse is a film that took two years to see. I saw the nominated film at the Oscars in 2013 and I haven't seen it since I wrote it down on my notepad. Thinking about it now, I’m still a little fortunate. If I watched it in 2013, there would definitely not be so many people I knew, whether it was Dousen, who knew that he would definitely die heroically when he appeared on the stage, or a man with a face longer than a horse and a beard. Curly Fu, I don't know all of them.

Spielberg is also the kind of director who can cook a pot of eight-treasure porridge with layers of texture, strong flavor, and grandeur. In the era of using things to speak for people, Spielberg played with a high level of symbolism. It seems that the protagonist is a horse, and the supporting characters are injured and killed, but this horse is endowed with natural beauty, loyalty, dedication, and righteousness, which makes the whole film completely different. In particular, the plot of two horses and one woman living in the same room can't help but make those with strange tastes imagine, and it really makes people have to admire the director's ingenuity.

In the end, if Joey is an adult, it must be a well-dressed British gentleman. "War Horse" also records his mental journey from a boy to a man until he decides to become a man, although we can't see his inner drama is What, but the image of this gentleman came to mind and was already far more than a thousand words.

  • Rose Narracott: [stopping her husband from taking a drink] Some days are best forgotten. Today ain't one of them.

  • Base Camp Officer: [capturing Maj. Stewart and his soldiers in their attack on a German camp after its thick defenses defeat them] What? You think a garrison on open grounds would go UNDEFENDED? Look at yourself! Who do you think you are?
