War Horse is a critically acclaimed War/Feel Good/Guy/Chick Flick movie.
Now it may not be strange to see a couple of single ladies having a girls night out, but for those two reasonably attractive woman to not only be without dates but also going to see a “guys movie” it becomes something odd.
I recently went to see War Horse with a friend and seeing as she didn’t want to watch Breaking Dawn, we were stuck going to a movie about a young man’s beloved horse who is sold to the British army during WWI.
Surprisingly the film is enjoyable and a great piece of cinematography. With blazing battle scenes, hobbit style rolling hills and Black Beauty moments galore, it is probably the most perfectly bipolar movie that I have ever seen.
It truly would make the perfect date movie, with gushy horse loving scenes followed by guys getting blown up with “ancient” weaponry.
Adapted from the 1982 children's novel by Michael Morpurgo, and the 2007 stage play of the same name, War Horse is defiantly worth a look-see and will probably be remembered as one of the better movies of 2011 (though, that’s not really saying much).
If nothing else the movie does make a good chick flick, because of all the WWI soldiers in their spiffy uniforms and of course the rising star Jeremy Irvine:
'Nough said.
