OK... I'm 15 minutes into the movie and I want to poke my eyes out with a pencil.

I'll sum it up.
A horse was born.
Someone bought it at a horse auction.
The end.

Pass me a pencil please.

Did anyone see this dog of movie?
Does it suddenly become less boring than the English Patient at 20 minute mark or something?
Is there a discernible plot anywhere other than "just another uneventful, dull, droll, boring, slow day in the life of horse that lives in a uneventful, dull, droll, boring, slow town full of uneventful, dull, droll, boring, slow people "?

I love horses... had several when I lived in Texas.
I even like horse movies.
I loved Hildago, Black Beauty, The Black Stallion, and that old classic National Velvet. I even liked the stupid comedy Racing Stripes about teh zebra race horse... I liked all of them.

But I think Trigger and the Roy Rodgers TV show was 10 times more interesting and exciting than Warhorse... 20 minutes into this dull ass movie and the "plot" shows it's head. "Can he pay the rent after spending so much on the uneventful, dull, droll, boring, slow horse". Oh boy, what a plot... I got my seat belt ready, the plot is real ripper eh?

Sorry, it's not on my list of movies to see.

And I love horses!

And now I am remembering the episode of Seinfeld when Eileen absolutely HATES The English Patient, and everyone else loves it.

I read the book of The English Patient and could not for the life of me figure out how it was filmable.

^ don't it sucks.

The 1st 45 minutes of the movie should have been cut. Horse is born, horse is sold, horse plows a field.
At 45 minutes, the horse is lent to solider to go to war.
At 60 minutes, a 2 minute war scene. Bunch of dumb-ass Americans on horse back with swords drawn, charge into German machine fire and get slaughtered. Germans take their horses.

... I can't tell you happens next, I have poked my eyes out with pencils and gave up on the movie.

Well that's good. All I wanted to know was if the horse got eaten by the Germans or if the kid got it back.

Thank you LadyHib........now I won't have to wonder.

There are many movies I am looking forward to though. The Dragon Tattoo one. DeCaprio has one I am excited about. Ahhhhhhhh...........and a few more that are not coming to mind.

Oh, Daniel Day Lewis is currently filming one I am busting to see.

I saw a movie recently that would give War Horse a run for its money in the "dull" department. Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy was so boring, I couldn't believe I had spent 15 bucks to see it. It could not be saved by the presence of either Gary Oldman or Benedict Cumberbatch. The book must have been better.

It wasn't.
Of course, they didn't let that stop them after paying all that money for the film rights...

History nerd time.

All the nation armies tried cavalry attacks against emplaced machine guns at the outbreak of WW1. What was unforgiveable was that the British already knew what effect maxim guns had from the Boer war campaigns.

You are correct the US Army didn't but that is because by the time the USA entered the war in 1917, 3 years after the start. The european battlefield had turned into a war of static attrition. The battlefields could no longer support horse war. What is interesting is that all the senior officers in the US Army of WW2 saw active service in the trenches of WW1 & by the D Day landings came about they all understood that mobility was key. The longest period with minimum movement on the front was from D Day itself until the end of Septemberr 1944 the French hedgerows (bocage) were a killer to the tanks. Even then Bradley refused flat out to dig in a la WW1 fearing the same attritional losses that he had witnessed. Ike & his Nemisis Patton fully concurred. Montgomery did dig in but that was purely to suck in axis troops to relieve the front around Bradley.
