War Horse

#1 Post by tibba » Fri Nov 26, 2010 12:14 am

War Horse

Follows a young man named Albert and his horse, Joey, and how their bond is broken when Joey is sold to the cavalry and sent to the trenches of World War One. Despite being too young to enlist, Albert heads to France to save his friend.

Now here's another movie I'm already queuing up to see. The last one was Inception.

This movie is going to be one hell of an emotional rollercoaster. With Spielberg directing and Cumberbatch starring and a synopsis that has already has me hooked, I just feel this is going to be a good movie. This is coming from someone who doesn't normally watch war-based films.

Cumberbatch and Thewlis in a film together? I'm at the front of the queue.

Member number 33 of the "100 free films in 2011" club. I saw 20, interestingly enough. My more realistic target was to see more free films than TheyCallMeMrGlass. I lost.

Should I watch the play first or the film first or read the novel first?

I watched the play and thought it was pretty good and I am not that much into theatre. Then I saw a trailer recently and it blew me away. It better be good!

Spielberg always seem to make 2 opposite films together. A guilty pleasure one, and a serious one. Its been a pattern with him since he made Empire of the Sun.

Oh and I am right behind you lot on the queue too ;)
