It's 12:00 am when I came home last night. I know I have to watch Horse Whisperer again before calling it a day.
Just thinking of the moment in Horse Whisperer when he placed her foot in the stir-up and helped her tighten up, when he held her hand and press it against his chest dancing to "A Soft Place to Fall"; when she found him leaving the ball room and saw him driving off in the dark; when she asked for a few more days together but could not offer any words to his simple question of “and then?” but tears. He knows the horse, and he knows her, but simply there are too many things they cannot afford. In the end, Annie asked for one last ride together. Tom went to get saddling up when he heard Annie starting the engine and leaving in the truck with the horse. Tom realized that's the last ride she really meant. I wish they could ride together in the heart, the soft place to fall,but I also wish it's a clear-cut end for them coz both of them need to live on without any burden of extra love. A sad sad movie but strongly recommended.
I see Robert Redford a way better director than an actor, and I love each and every movie he directed, like Ordinary People. Guess Horse Whisperer could be even better if he chose someone else to play Tom. The movie also stared Scarlett Johansson, a then teenager, but you can tell she will for sure grow into a big movie star, which she already proved by herself.
