Just like a light at the end of the tunnel...

One of a kind.

Well, I hate those kind of lemonade-love-story-no-message-sending kinds of movies. And when I say this, trust me- War Horse is NOTHING like that. It's that touching, sad, beautiful kind of movie that sends a message to this world. It has a point and anybody who doesn't like it doesn't understand it.

I drooled. I cried. Seriously. It touched me like nothing in a long time did. I'm not superficial, it wasn't because a horse died or because it's about a war, no for heaven's sake that sorts of things happen whether we wanted it or not. This is just a movie so we see it first- hand. But when we hear it in the news it doesn't sound that terrifying, doesn't it?

I cried because it reminded me that there still is hope for us with people like that. Because of the goodness in it. First of all, we are all humans, whether we're Germans or English or from any other country in this world. We fight and kill our own brothers on what bases? Because some man that we've never even met told us so? Or because of issues of a man who sits behind a big wooden desk and therefore is better than all of us.

There still is hope that goodness exists.

There's an English soldier on one side. Horse in the middle and German on the other side. The war stands still, nothing is moving, everything seems like in peace for that one moment. In that moment they are not enemies, just two ordinary men trying to save a life of that noble, gorgeous creature. It is the only thing that is connecting those two men from the other sides. Horse and their own kindness. In that moment politic doesn't matter, neither is some stupid rule that says: I'm a German, you're French or English- we have to hate each other, only thing that does is saving a life.

Well, I think that was enough of my philosophizing, but I'm just going to say that the crew was amazing, actors were awesome and Spielberg did a splendid job, he saw it like nobody else could and then presented it to us. Really phenomenal, i have none objections whatsoever.

I recommend this movie to every one of you, especially those of you who lost hope.

I hope this review helped. :)
