Pleasure and Perspective – War Horse

Finally, almost six months after the release date, I saw the movie “War Horse.”

I wish I had not waited so long. The story was heart-touching, a movie I will never forget. I know I will sit down and watch it again one day.

What I liked most, beyond the amazing storyline, was the way both sides of the conflict in World War I were shown. So often the portrayal of Germany, its soldiers and people, is stereotyped and cliché. In this film the goodness and heart of many of the ordinary German soldiers was shown. I appreciated that. If you haven’t seen it, make sure and rent the DVD. A great film. Hats off to Steven Spielberg for another wonderful story.

Thanks so much for your comments. They fill my life with sunshine.
