Erich Maria Remarque wrote the terrific novel "All Quiet on the Western Front", which tells about people who were forced to participate in the First World War. The very young guys who were just thrown out for this war died one after another. The novel very soulfully describes the psychology of this "lost generation" - when you gradually move away from the past when you reconcile yourself to the fact that you will never have a future when you get used to the hell around you.
The death of one person means nothing in the war, everything is measured in quantities. Meanwhile, together with one person, a whole world dies.
The film "War horse" reminds us that not only people but animals suffered from the war. Initially, the war is represented through the prism of friendship between the boy and the horse. She separates them. We deeply sympathize with the grief of two friends, and the whole film hope that they will meet again.
But the boundaries of this story are gradually expanding. We are shown the fate of other people - two brothers, grandfather and beloved granddaughter. All these stories are also imbued with pain and suffering.
The film, impregnated with courage and hope. And I do not want to disassemble the plot by details, saying "this episode is impossible", "everything here is implausible". The film gives us faith. Belief in human feelings, in friendship, in faithfulness, in love. Personally, I believe that in this story everything was just like that.
