This is what really happened, in Nevada, USA.
The plot is simple and uninteresting, the story of a horse redeeming a prisoner.
But through the lens of female director Red Claremont Tonell (she is also the director of the popular drama "The Bad Deeds"), it appears to be full of tension, making people addicted to the process of watching the film and unable to extricate themselves.
Roman, a 12-year prisoner, is short-tempered and rebellious, and is imprisoned for beating his wife in an accident. He realized that he could not control his emotions, so he closed himself tightly, refused to communicate with others, and did not cooperate with the psychiatrist's treatment.
In view of his special situation and to help him better adapt to society and life after he is released from prison in the future, the psychiatrist arranged a series of rehabilitation treatment plans for him, one of which is to train wild horses.
There, Roman met the man he wanted to tame, the most grumpy horse on the farm, and Roman named him Marquis.
At the beginning of the first round of the fight, Marquis did not listen to the instructions and actions at all, but threatened Roman. Roman was so nervous and cramped that he couldn't let go of his body movements. In a hurry, he waved his hands and yelled at Marquis. Yelling, it gave Marquis a sense of boundaries and kept him away.
In the second round, Marquis no longer had any sympathy this time. In his madness, he directly trampled and injured Roman. Because he failed to tame Marquis, Roman was severely punished by the prison guards and was once again put in a single prison.
In the one-man prison, Roman bought a magazine from other prisoners. Among them, there was an article about the skills of 18th century knights to tame wild horses. Roman took it in mind and began to learn to use gentle language and Marquis Communication, such a move has also progressed, and Marquis no longer excludes his approach.
In the third round, in the middle of the night, Marquis was woken up in his sleep. It turned out that the storm was coming, and each rider had to bring the restless mustang to the kitchen safely. Roman thought that Marquis was out of control, but he didn’t expect this to happen. Once it cooperated unexpectedly, let him successfully complete the task, and was also praised by the boss.
He took off the prisoner's clothes and put on a denim attire that represented the western knightly style.
In the fourth round, the task was an intimate communication between people and horses. Roman tried for several days, but Marquis refused his approach and touch. Roman had no choice but to beat the fence again and again to vent his anger. When Marquis shouted and sat on the ground slumped, he didn't expect Marquis to unload his heart and lowered his head to comfort Roman. At that moment, a warm current slowly flowed through Roman's heart.
In getting along day and night, one person and one horse become more and more tacit and become partners.
In the process of taming Marquis, Roman gradually regained the ability to love, opened his closed heart, was willing to communicate with others, and established the self-confidence to control his emotions. Daughter, repented and apologized to her daughter with tears, tried to beg her forgiveness, and tried to say goodbye to the unbearable past. This scene is moving. He is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and the softest part of his heart is his daughter. In order to protect the safety of his daughter outside the prison, he has to take risks to repeatedly provide drugs to inmates. If he doesn't care, why should he do this?
Everything was on track, but an accident happened at the Mustang auction - Marquis, who had been domesticated, went mad under the influence of the rumble of helicopter noise, and it knocked Roman off his horse. The situation is bad for Marquis, it can't find a buyer, is about to be euthanized, and the whole Mustang program will be withdrawn. Roman couldn't bear this. Taking advantage of the slack defense, he quietly released Marquis back to nature, and Marquis left reluctantly.
The end of the film is very heartwarming. He received a letter from his daughter and sent him a photo of the newborn, promising to come and see him next time.
At this time, when Roman looked out the window, Marquis appeared outside the prison.
In the film "Wild Horse", I have to mention the superb acting skills of the starring Matthias. There is no trace of the antelope hanging on its horns, and no trace of performance can be seen. From the beginning to the end, people feel that he is the old-fashioned name and temper Weird, but a prisoner who is eager to be tolerated and accepted at heart, his acting skills add a lot to the film.
This movie with prisoners as the theme has a very special angle. It does not choose common themes such as violence, friendship, basic love, prison escape, and injustice. Instead, it shows the story of how the marginalized groups that are not tolerated by the human body heal themselves. It is a refreshing feeling to let onlookers understand that not all prisoners are vicious people, and there are many people who make mistakes because of a momentary impulse. They are not bad people. They need to be rescued and regain the ability to love. And how to do it is a topic worthy of deep consideration by the whole society.
