War Horse

We ventured out to the movie theatre yesterday afternoon,

to see the film War Horse.

It is a beautifully done film but very hard to watch.

It is full of tragedy, war...and thus suffering and death.

It is also full of love and devotion...and many relationships.

It is the story of relationship between:

- mother horse and colt

 - boy and horse

 - boy and parents

-landlord and tenants

- horse and horse

-soldier and soldier

- soldier and horse

-girl and grandfather

- girl and horse

- soldier and enemy

- soldier and friends

- man and grandfather

- man and horse

I won't spoil the movie by telling the story line or elaborating on any of the above,

other than to say it is VERY well done and a wonderful movie.

I highly recommend it...but must warn folks that it IS difficult to watch,

if you're sensitive.

I, for one, am very glad I persevered and watched til the end.

Life is full of relationships, and this movie makes one aware, again,

that there are good ones and bad ones and priceless ones.

Enemies can become friends, parents and children can work out their differences,

the grandparent/grandchild relationship is special indeed,

and animals can be one of our richest blessings.

I'll leave it with that - enjoy the movie!
