WAR HORSE MOVIE REVIEW

War Horse Review

War Horse is a world War I based movie. War Horse is actually a novel by Michael Morpurgo, that later became a screenplay. The movie came out in the year of 2011 directed by a famous director that produces Jurassic Park which is the incredible Steven Spielberg. The cast includes Jeremy Irvine as “Albert Narracott” or “Albie”,  a young man who loves his horse, “Joey” and charming actor who played in Thor as “Loki”. He is Tom Hiddleston who played as Captain James Nicholls, the brave soldier who fought for the country. This movie is about friendship, loyalty, hope, and this movie is underrated.

This movie story is starting in the early of 1900s Devon, Albert lives on a farm with his impulsive drunk father Ted and a tough mum Rose. When Ted overpays for the wrong horse to work on the fields, Albert took a good care of the horse and called him Joey. But when Europe declares a war, Ted sells Joey to Captain James Nicholls for war. Will Joey and Albert meet again? Will Joey survive the war?

This interesting movie needs to have almost-perfect elements. The acting of the actors and actresses seems so real that we can feel what they feel. The costumes that were made by Joanna Johnston are authentic and there’s lots of detail, for example the captain, lieutenant, and the soldier all have different kind of costumes. The sound effects you see in the movie are also using real- life objects. Like for example the bombing tank sound, they really use the real tank. The sound of the galloping horse is using coins. All these elements were made and combined to perfection, making a very realistic and natural performance.

I really recommended this movie because it’s underrated. The movie that everybody can watch from kids to adults. If people watch this they would be amazed and love this. People can even cry because of the feeling in the movie that seems so real.
