War Horse (2011) Review

 

There are very few movies that I would call perfect but “War Horse” is one of them. It tells the story of a horse as he traveled from working in the field to being on the front lines. How the horse reacted to it and how he helped all those who came into contact with him.

The art direction fit the grandeur of the film. It had an epic story to tell and visually we were not disappointed. The writing, too, was phenomenal and the characters fit their actors very nicely. Their portrayal fitting like a glove.

The whole trip was an emotional ride full of ups and downs. Several scenes had me tearing up. Not just at the sad scenes but oftentimes the good ones, too. You found yourself cheering for Joey, the horse. You wanted him to succeed. You wanted him to be happy and that desire is what pushed me to finish the film.

This film is a Masterpiece. Very few movies even come close to this. This film is gonna pull at your heartstrings but you will be smiling the whole way through.
