Here is why this film deserves a spot on your must-watch (or re-watch) list. The story begins in the lush, rolling hills of Devon, England. We meet Albert Narracott, a young man who turns a lanky, expensive thoroughbred foal into a plow horse against all odds. The film’s first act is pure poetry. Spielberg paints a pastoral postcard where the relationship between a boy and his horse, Joey, is the only currency that matters.

It is a reminder that war destroys, but it cannot destroy loyalty. It is a reminder that beauty exists even in the mud. And it is a testament to the incredible power of animals to heal the deepest wounds of the human soul. war horse.movie
