War Horse Film Review
The film
‘War Horse’ is a fictional type movie, directed by Steven Spielberg. The film
is based on the released novel written by Michael Morpurgo. The novel is
published on 1982. While the film is realesed in December 25, 2011 (USA). The
movie has a 146 minutes duration. Base on the novel, the main character is Joey
and Albert. Joey is a horse, while Albert Naracott is played by Jeremy Irvine
in the movie. Most of the place where the story in the film happens was in UK.
The movie is
about Joey, the horse that travels from country to country for war purposes.
Joey will meet a lots of other characters. That time, The World war, makes the
people to give everything they have for the army. This also makes Ted Naracott,
need to sell his horse, Joey to Captain Nicholls.
War Horse is
a great film, Steven Spielberg use different people perspectives in the movie,
he uses many different characters that is close with Joey. From Albert, Captain
Nicholls, Michael and Gunther, Emilie and her Grandfather, Higleman, and also
Colin. The music of the film is mostly composed by John Williams. The
characters were played by Jeremy Irvine as Albert Naracott, Peter Mullan as
Ted, Emily Watson as Rose, Tom Hiddleston as Captain Niicholls, and many more.
Most of the settings is in UK, they create the props and put it on the land, so
the film’s actually not shooted from many countries in europe. They just take
the elements and put it on the place so that the place will look like the
specific place they wanted to have for the movie. The costume is organized by
Johanna Johnston, most of the costume is an old outfit. Most of the movie use
the medium shot, so that the body of the actors can be seen. Sometimes the
movie also use low level shot so that the person in the scene will look strong.
For me, War
Horse is a good movie, the movie shows us about bravery, loyalty, friendship
and love. The war’s atmosphere can be felt very real. The Music makes us what
we have to feel during the movie. Costumes are fantastic, the movie can be felt
so real is also because of the costumes that really sticks with the settings
that time during the World War I era. So, I would recommend this movie to be
watched, for family, friends and others.
