The
actors, like Jeremy Irvine have done a very good job and make the movie even
more emotionally touching. Not only the good acting the costumes were a job
well done, with Joanna Johnson an academy award winner, as the main costume
designer. Their clothes and uniforms are very detailed with different colors,
fabrics and styles for each costume. This makes the movie more realistic. The
music and sound effect is very strong with friendship, war, bravery and
loyalty as its main genre.
War
Horse is an excellent movie, I strongly recommend watching this movie. War
Horse is very suitable for a family movie and will reveal the true meaning of
friendship. This movie also has lots of actions but is still emotionally
moving. With tear-jerking scenes and its friendship plot, it is a must to
watch.
