The beginning of the plot is a little suspenseful and a little loose. In the scene where the war horse was born, the pony that fell to the ground stood up, should it fall down a few more times? Or falling is common sense, and warhorses are born different.
The ploughing of war horses is also a bit exaggerated, because it should not be so flat. I have experience with this, and I used to follow my father to plough the land from north to south. For the first time, the cattle and horses can't grasp the proportions. The ploughed land is best like a block. Graffiti on a large canvas may be more realistic.
After leaving Albert, the warhorse after enlisting in the army did not show too much to the owner. He was obsessed with food and food. The officer died in battle, and the warhorse and his companions who were prisoners did not suffer much, from two escaped teenagers to a young girl. In their hands, until they were sent to the enemy camp again, they were still being driven obediently. In the scene where they were driven to pull the tank, their companions were injured, and the war horse showed the spirituality of self-sacrifice. There should be a scene of two horses kissing in the middle, very Brokeback Mountain, right?
The dark horse finally died, the enemy retreated, it was abandoned, but it was still pressed for life and death. In an instant, he crossed the tank and began to run for thousands of miles, and finally got into the barbed wire and was trapped. An officer found it and went to rescue , the enemy officers also discovered, cooperated, the horse was rescued.
Albert and the war horse were both injured, and they met again in the hospital, and they recognized each other, and they were not too heartbroken. Then they went home and we left.
The film should use the war horse as a clue to show the fragility of life and destiny in the war. Although it is a bit legendary, the war horse does not show how obsessed it is with its owner, nor does it go on hunger strike because it is forced to leave home. In the end, it lost its companion. Going through layers of iron cables and protection should also have no destination. It can remember when it meets its owner, but it can't go home yet. It is not that great, and neither are we.
Watching "War Horse" reminds us of my cows, but no matter how spiritual the cows are, they will stumble and die.
I vaguely feel that there are traces of carving in this plot. The old director should have designed a lot of sensational traps. In a few years, it will definitely not be as memorable as "Blue Bridge".
