Rating: 5 out of 5
The Cast: Jeremy Irvine, David Thewlis, Benedict Cumberbatch, Emily Watson, Tom Hiddleston
The Buzz: Adapted from the 1982 children's book by Michael Morpurgo and the 2007 play based
off the book, Steven Spielberg, who was supposed to produce the movie, decided to direct this
movie the moment he read the first draft of the screenplay by Richard Curtis. That's high praise
right there.
The Story: Set against the backdrop of World War I, the movie follows Joey, a young
thoroughbred who is sold to the Narracott family to plow land. He is trained by the similarly young
Albert (Jeremy Irvine), who he forms a strong bond with. When the War starts, Joey is sold to the
British Calvary, which takes him onto a journey that sees him serving on both sides of the war.

Steven Spielberg in the holiday season. And without a doubt, “War Horse” is the better one out of
the two.
The film features some masterful direction from Spielberg as the narrative centres around the
horse, Joey, and his companions throughout his trip of Europe during the First World War Joey,

British and German military handlers.
Though there is a war in the film, it isn't necessarily about the war, per se. The film, in truth is really
more about the horse, Joey, and the connections he makes with the people he meets through his Featured Series
journey.
These small encounters really bring out the humanity in the supporting characters and make for
several heart-warming moments in the film. Additionally, to be able to coax you to feel emotions for
a horse... it's just really quite something to behold.

The film is shot beautifully, and truly immerses you into a period when horses were used for
everything; labour, transportation and yes, even war. Breath-taking shots of the European
landscapes and a powerful score by John Williams make for an experience that honestly, we didn't
want to end.
To sum it all up, “War Horse” is a throwback to how films use to be made. An emotive and
powerful script with universal themes that will radiate with anyone, this film is one for the entire
family.
Combined with stellar performances from a huge cast, wonderful cinematography and music score,
this film is arguably Spielberg's finest hour since “Schindler's List” or “Saving Private Ryan”.
