MR: War Horse

 

            

          I finally got the chance to watch WAR HORSE, a movie about a horse's

journey (yes, you're reading it right!) through WWI after being seperated from

his loving owner.

        Not spoiling anybody's story but let's say I was really satisfied with it. I

love how war is dehumanising both sides and how the horses are

the ones with humanity in this movie.

      But I shall spoil on my favourite part of the entire movie:

There is this one part when Joey, the horse, is caught amongst the barbed wires

painfully in No Man's Land and, one of the British soldiers, Colin, (God bless him) 

weaves a white flag and approaches Joey, with the intention of releasing him. How 

surprised he is to find that there's also another German soldier named Peter 

coming to release the horse with a wire cutter (Who said all Germans are evil?)

It was a powerful and moving scene, when you see these two soldiers, when they 

have found their similarity (helping the horse) are very chummy and nice to each 

other and they part as friends, not enemies, and pray for each other's safety!!

This scene all too well reminded me of Thomas Hardy's moving poem,

The Man He Killed..

So, what are you waiting for? Go and watch it!

You Know When Sometimes You Meet Someone Beautiful

                     I was watching 'Doctor Who' when I came across this beautiful quotation,
told by Amy, The Doctor's companion, about her husband, Rory. She said,

"You know when sometimes you meet someone so beautiful and then you actually talk to them, and five minutes later they’re as dull as a brick? Then there’s other people, you meet them and think: “Not bad, they’re OK”. Then you get to know them… and their face just sort of becomes them. Like their personality’s written all over it. And they just turn into something so beautiful."

Oh. So. True. Tell me about it :P

I love Amy and Rory <3
