60 of 144 · most liked firstWAR HORSE was the last movie I saw in a theater with my dad, a man who had a horse when he served in the iranian military. I remember him just casually seeing the ad for the movie and being like, "I used to have a horse." sir what??

positive · AI labelView post →You're telling me Benedict Cumberbatch, who is the only actor I could name with confidence as being in the cast of 2011 war drama film War Horse, does NOT play the titular horse?
neutral · AI labelView post →Just back from seeing the National Theatre production of War Horse in Plymouth. Bloody hell - I've seen the film and knew a little of what to expect from the stage play but I really wasn't prepared for how emotional, visceral and technically brilliant it is.

neutral · AI labelView post →Also I cried in a way that I have not cried in the movie theater since I was like 15 and seeing War Horse while on my period
positive · AI labelView post →Tonight’s movie: War Horse (2011). The bloodless storybook version of WWI! Also featuring Cumberborgus Bandersnatch & a spectacular expression from Tom Hiddleston during the charge of the light brigade. Otherwise, I haven’t encountered this much woodenness since that one-night stand in Mexico City
negative · AI labelView post →I was gutted the first time I saw this ending. On another note my grandfather often told the story of being sent to back up a British cavalry charge during the early days of WWI. Years later I saw the movie War Horse and it was almost beat for best my grandfather’s story.
positive · AI labelView post →Even kagi is only coughing up a lot of people talking about how many horses *died* in WWI and people asking how accurate War Horse was as a movie for me, sigh.

No it doesn't matter how they're cooked. Movie: War Horse (the book and movie traumatized me) Song: Hotel California -The Eagles
negative · AI labelView post →War Horse (2011) is the movie about the horse that wages war against lesbians
neutral · AI labelView post →In case folks aren’t aware: War Horse (2011) stars Jeremy Irvine! If I had a nickel for each time I watched him in a WW1 era film or TV series, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t alot, but it’s weird that it happened twice right? 😂
neutral · AI labelView post →I legitimately forgot War Horse was a real movie and not a fake movie within another movie.

positive · AI labelView post →Millions of horses died in our wars! WHERE IS THEIR MONUMENT! WATCH THE MOVIE "WAR HORSE"
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching War Horse (film) for the first time, and the concept seems to be 'what if everyone was gay for Horse and also There Is A War On.'
neutral · AI labelView post →I think you get this more with Spielberg than almost any other filmmaker. A film like War Horse, which I don’t at all care for, has moments that absolutely fly. And I think the best scene he’s ever directed isn’t even in one of his great films (“Cadillac of the skies!” from Empire of the Sun).
negative · AI labelView post →War Horse was his Ford movie! Tho oddly it was more like A Quiet Man than anything else, albeit far bleaker.
neutral · AI labelView post →If Disclosure Day is Spielberg's best film in 20 years, that means it's better than War Horse, Lincoln, Bridge of Spies, The Post, West Side Story and The Fabelmans. That's pretty damn good. 😲 Emily Blunt has won SAGs and got an Oscar nomination. #filmsky 📽️ variety.com/2026/film/ne...
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatching War Horse, first time in a long time. I remain baffled that there are people who think this is lesser Spielberg, or that it's lacking in substance. Only reason this movie isn't a top 10 Spielberg is because he's maybe the best to ever do it and has too many movies that are masterpieces.
positive · AI labelView post →For me the ultimate case of this is Spielberg's take on War Horse - the theatre production was brilliant, the film was dismal (in spite of featuring some horses I knew as extras) in large part because in order to make the horse "relatable" they just had it doing dog behaviours.
negative · AI labelView post →One of my coolest movie theater memories is when I saw "War Horse" for the second time in a packed theater. When the movie ended, I clapped and after a minute, everyone else clapped too. Such a wholesome memory.
positive · AI labelView post →If you get the chance, watch the movie War Horse (2011), directed by Spielberg. Guarantee you will cry at the end.

neutral · AI labelView post →What if an animal started talking out of the blue in a movie with no advertised talking animals. Like War Horse. Someone should try that for fun. If I thought that was a possible thing I’d go to every movie just in case.
neutral · AI labelView post →The movie War Horse isn't casual for me-it's: The reason why I spent 7 years on a horse farm A connection to the idea of loyalty Endurance through absolute chaos That stubborn refusal to give up on something I care about. One day I'll re-watch War Horse. ♥️ #tattoo #horse
positive · AI labelView post →"War Horse" is such a beautiful WWI movie. First time I saw it, it left me with a throat lump I'd never felt before while watching a movie. Also "The Lost World" gets too much hate IMO. A good sequel to "Jurassic Park" and much better than other films in the franchise.
positive · AI labelView post →What does Steven Spielberg movie War Horse look like in this world
neutral · AI labelView post →No surprise on my grandfather's PTSD - he was a U.S.Army Horse Master. He led horses into the most horrific of circumstances. For reference, the film War Horse shows something akin to my grandfather's experience.

neutral · AI labelView post →A good direct comparison for that is War Horse. The film version is visually stunning and and directed by possibly the greatest movie director of all time but the theatre version, in its comparative simplicity, just blows you away by how they achieve the same story.
neutral · AI labelView post →There’s a whole play: War Horse. Made into a movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →I’ve never read it! Id love to hear opinions. I have a personal horse movie cinematic universe, and I think black beauty is in the DNA of all of them. Black Beauty, Spirit, and War Horse are the same film.
neutral · AI labelView post →2: “War Horse.” A farmboy’s horse is sold to the British army at the start of WWI, so the film has the horse popping up wherever he’s needed to show all the aspects of the war, both sides of no-man’s land, Forrest Gump-style. Spielberg directed, so he’s got a couple of gorgeous battle set pieces.

negative · AI labelView post →They saw the poster on the street for the mildly popular WWI film "War Horse" as they rode past on a tram and their brain went "Oi, what's this about a Vore Horse?" Basically it's all the Kaiser's fault
neutral · AI labelView post →So what is the movie War Horse like in the Uma Musume universe?
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched the War Horse play yesterday in Liverpool Empire Theatre. It gives a different emotional response compared to the book and movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →This is the most inexplicable Spielberg I’ve seen. I couldn’t stand Ready Player One but I could see the plan on paper. War Horse, what is this movie?
negative · AI labelView post →and actually turns out i was wrong about Crystal Skull being photochemical. it was edited on film, but it was Spielberg's second DI, after The Terminal. War Horse/Tintin were his first edited digitally, and i think War Horse was the last to have a conformed negative made.
neutral · AI labelView post →"People of Bluesky! Let's get to know each other better. What is your favourite movie?" It's tough to pick ONE. On my list is WAR HORSE.
positive · AI labelView post →What's your most heartbreaking moment in film? For me it's War Horse when Benedict Cumberbatch breaks his leg and the horse has to shoot him
positive · AI labelView post →The film War Horse brought home the horrors. Such a waste of human and intelligent life
positive · AI labelView post →He was driving a Friesian in that one, I think. As far as I recall the only time the shires show up on film is in War Horse, another movie that made me extreme angry.
neutral · AI labelView post →What a treat to appear on the excellent @freedomofspecies.bsky.social again! We discussed animal liberation themes in film, including The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Charlotte's Web, War Horse (where of course, I had to ramble on about masculinity too!), & Bold Native! www.3cr.org.au/freedomofspe...
neutral · AI labelView post →Least favorites (I haven't seen every movie by these directors, but at least 5+) Nolan's Insomnia Spielberg's War Horse Scorsese's Hugo
negative · AI labelView post →14. WAR HORSE A concept that should not work under any circumstances, yet a film about a horse manages to grab onto its humanity and never let go. Not sure anybody but Spielberg could pull this off. boxd.it/eSfq2v
