"Flee everything it has... We taught them the opposite. To run into a ruined battlefield"
"War horse"
has become a kind of horse since its conquest. A symbol of vitality.
Horses in the movie as a thread that runs through life:
like a child. It came between us because of the impulse of a man, to experience the inevitable pain of our lives. Even if you can withstand the existential pressures of poor families, you cannot escape the personal upheaval that the state brings.
The battle flag that my father abandoned is a satire of reality, and it guides the characters played by reality in the first half—yes, you can use charm to make yourself strong. The British officers were personable, with bearing, responsibility, and chivalrous charm wandering among them. However, these qualities and appearances ultimately cannot withstand the fear of being exposed to the guns of those ordinary people. Failure comes clean.
You can be an emotional family member, but under the cruel rules you are willing to break it to fulfill your emotional commitment, but the reality will not let you go.
Then my grandfather is the character with the best acting skills in my opinion, and he also said important lines in his mouth.
The carrier pigeons fly back from the front lines, to cross the battlefield of pain and cruelty, but you can't stop because you want to go home. You can only keep flying. This is courage.
After that, Joey and the dark horse were used by the German army to pull artillery, during which Joey took the initiative to replace the injured dark horse. I think it's exactly what my mother said my father experienced on the South African battlefield
"He probably saved some people and others, he didn't tell me..."
Even if Joey took the place of the dark horse, it was still dead.
No matter how cruel real life is, the most important thing for human beings is that we have someone to spend with us, and this will not be forever. The tank, which symbolized the cold reality, came from a distance, and Joey had nowhere to go, and completed the first jump in his life. Just like we were struggling from the bottom line of difficulty, he ran, trying to escape from these things, breaking through one obstacle after another, and the power of life merged with the battlefield into a beautiful scenery. But in the end, he was still surrounded by iron nets laid by others on the battlefield. Just wait to die.

If the above plot is regarded as a fable to the impact of reality. Then the plot after that is the reaction in the minds of people who read philosophy - the goodness of human nature not bound by the "rules of war".
The war horse and the protagonist are like carrier pigeons in Grandpa's mouth. They can only move forward because they want to go home.
For other soldiers, it felt the same as the teenage girl who heard her grandpa's story. He can quell the fleeting emotions of cowardice and anger and set his sights on hope. real bravery.
The grandfather bought the horse at the auction at a high price. He said that the battle had won everything, and it was the only thing left by the granddaughter. Because hope is so precious.
War movies create war heroes who seem to be able to break through some shit to solve all problems, but in fact heroes can die in battle just like the beginning officers. Those who survived were not miracles themselves, but they were miracles to others. is courage.
Just like what this movie asks to express to the audience.
And then, we went home. These are the same people, where it all started.
Go through all the things your dad won't tell you.
A battle wound.
PS: Mr. Holmes is much more stylish than the curly head in this one...
Germans speak no English at all, but there are two characters with slightly heavier accents, a grandfather and a girl. One performance is moving, one cute and soft...
