We watched "War Horse" last night (*spoiler alert*)

I had no idea that Tom Brady was English and that he fought in WWI....but I am glad he found his horse.

1. I thought it was a good movie.

I wouldn't rank it amongst the best I've seen but it was well worth the money I paid to rent it.

2. I'm afraid to watch it.

Steven Spielberg's messing with my head - I couldn't even see the commercials without crying. And I'm not the only one.

Are there awful horse/animal pain/death scenes? If so, I can't watch it.

Also, does it feel like propaganda? I feel like so many war-themed movies these days are boosters for the US military...

3. No it is a not=too-syrupy story

based on a kids book.

It was a good movie. I think you can find and anti-war message in it.

4. OK, thanks, underpants

I appreciate the input. Did your little girl watch it?

6. No

she at my mom's for the weekend and I wouldn't say that it was appropriate for a 7 year old. Maybe 10.

Not a lot of blood but there is alcoholism and lots of war (no man's land) stuff.

5. Me too.... I thought it looked so sad.

I can't stand that they had to send their horses off to war. Breaks my heart. Same with the dogs of World War II. Can you even imagine doing that?
