War Horse

Boy: Seriously, I don't know what attracted me to this movie that made me want to watch it. Perhaps such movies are hard to come by, as compared to action movie. Frankly speaking, the genre itself was hard to be categorize, as many would actually relate it to the genre of 'drama'.

By the name of it, all that was running through my mind the journey this special horse had went through. Perhaps, there's an emotional attachment of it that draws me to this movie.

Rather weirdly, the movie did not run the way I thought it would be, yet it was interesting how the horse made its way to the warfield. Yet, the journey of this war horse was quite elaborated, or rather, too elaborated, that it turned draggy.

Apart from that, I thought the movie failed to instill extra story on the bond the first owner has with the war horse. To me, this war horse was portrayed as a product that was passed around the hands of few owners before it's touchingly back to its first owner.

One special element of this movie was the fact that it did attempt to capture the heart of the viewers with its touching scenes, especially on how the horse reconciled with its first (and possibly favourite) owner once again. But that's also probably the only thing that worth waiting for...but the process could possibly be too 'damaging' for those who can't tolerate a slow movie. Unless you're a true blue horse lover, if not, this movie's definitely not for you.
