Pretty indepth review of WAR HORSE - My Family really enjoyed it w/all it's painstalking emotions fromt he War and what the horses went through was just horrific. Their our National treasures and should be treated w/much compassion & love for what they had to endure. Great & painful movie, the horses were amazing with a great Cast of actors. The boy & girl (and her Grandpa) that take care of War Horse/Joey were spectacular!! Hope it takes home many Oscars.
I've been avoiding War Horse for fear of Spielbergian manipulation. Max is making me want to buy the book. I wonder. Maybe Max could have a book review channel. I love Grandma. So nice seeing her. Gosh, i love your family.
@scifiwritir1 There was definitely some manipulation at play... Almost "not enough", if you know what I mean? He tried to straddle the line between "art" and corny - and it didn't do either justice! Thanks for your comment; yeah I'm pretty lucky with my family. :)
a very nice review :) ... i havent seen War Horse but i should get around to it ... Phillipe Nahon is in it ... one of my favourite actors ... he is a French cinema legend. I dont know if its a cameo or a solid role, but it doesnt matter. Interesting to see that the book was better than the film in Max and Grandma's eyes. Its rare these days that a movie can out shine the book ... great work guys :)
Great review indeed. Would love to see more Grandma reviews.
I wonder, though, seeing how much of a significant difference animation can make towards narrative, do you guys think they could've gotten away w/the whole narrative issue had it been done in either traditional animation or even CG a'la Tintin?
@Guernicaman We actually discussed that it could/should have been animated... It would have been very different, possibly better? There would have been much more depth, I think.
Wow! Grandma brings out Max's inner reviewer.
Go GRANDMA!!!
