    It's official, Spielberg is now entering the twilight of his career.

    Looks completely epic. Miss these types of movies. The score sounds amazing.

    I've been waiting for a good WWI movie, light on drama, to come out for a while. I'll see it.

    SOUNDTRACK


    I'm sorry, but... Good Lord. Spielberg's movies are just WAY too heavy on the soundtrack. If it weren't for violins, Spielberg would be a lot less successful.

    That trailer sucked.

    its about a Horse obviously.. DUH... :)

    Seems like it goes something like this:

    -Boy grows up in peaceful farm
    -Boy is fascinated by horses
    -Boy becomes teen
    -Teen sees a wild free magical horse
    -Teen tames horse
    -Teen forms bond and friendship with horse riding him everywhere
    -World War II breaks out
    -War starts affecting peaceful country life
    -Army needs any horse they can get
    -Soldier takes teen's horse promises to return him
    -Boy runs after horse crying, horse runs after boy crying ALL IN SLO MOTION DRAMATIC Music
    -Horse goes to war and most likely becomes a hero
    -Soldier most likely becomes fascinated with this unique heroic horse also
    -Teen becomes man and misses his horse
    -Man dreams of one day being united with his horse
    -Everyone dies and horse wanders around on the battlefield
    -Horse most likely dies in the end
    -End of movie

    I got all that from the trailer :)

    The irony is that in "Saving Private Ryan" he was lauded for his lack of sound track during the DDay landing scene.

    It's more of a kids movie, IMO.

    Calvary was still heavily used in WWI.
