War Horse (2011)
Directed by Steven
Spielberg this film based on the novel of the same name has an
ensamble cast which includes Jeremy Irvine, Emily Watson, Tom
Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch. The life story of a horse that
is raised in Devon and experiences the First World War.
This film is
excellently shot with the best of Spielberg's talent, some great
landscape and excellent sets that give a real feel of a John Ford
film. The plot is a bit more wandering than I expected, shifting
between the human characters that feature in the protagonists life.
It does seem to show through that the original book was written for
children and some of the story does in the end come off as a little
simplistic.
4/5
