‘War
Horse: The Movie’ is a 2011 film directed by a famous director, Steven
Spielberg. It is a movie based on a novel by Michael Marpago. The movie stars
are Jeremy as Albert ‘Albie’ Narracott, Peter Mullan as Ted Narracott, Joey
(the horse), and many more. The type of the movie is a war movie, but it’s also
a family movie because the movie doesn’t contain violence and bloody scenes.
The setting of the movie starts at Devon, England, UK during the WWI.
The
story is about the loyalty of a brave, strong horse named Joey to his owner, a
naïve, nice young man named Albert Narracott (A.K.A. Albie). Albie meets Joey
when his father, Ted Narracott wins a horse by bidding in a horse auction. He
buys Joey and brings him home. Ted is a veteran that has a drinking problem. To
forget all of his problems, he drinks. Albie trains Joey until Ted sells him to
Captain James Nicholls (portrayed by Tom Hiddleston) because of the declaration
of war. Albie makes a solemn promise that he would find Joey and brings him
back. Will he fulfill his promise to bring Joey back?
Although
some of the scene have a setting in France, Germany, and No-Man’s Land, but all
of the scenes in the movie was filmed in UK. The acting was quite good. For
your information, the film was the first debut of Jeremy Irvine as a
professional actor. But some of the special effects were quite unrealistic. For
example, in the last scene, the sunset was unrealistic because the color was
too ‘orange’. While in England, the sunset was never as orange as the movie.
The explosions in the war scenes were the reaction of the chemicals. In another
words, the explosions was synthetic.
This movie
is recommended for everyone. With the rating of PG-13, the film is safe from
violence and bloods. And also, the movie can make you cry because of the
dramatic scenes. The movie nominated some awards and won awards. Some of the
awards that they won are; BMI Film and TV Awards as the Best Film-Music, BFCA
Awards as the Best Cinematography, etc. So don’t miss the movie!
