A horse heals many people

Rating: 8/10 (2 February 2005)

The book was a fabulously accurate tale of a little horse, a lot of wounded or desperate people and how he healed them all.
The film portrays this story with sensitivity and authentic realism. Mind you, it helps to be a fan of the sport. However, it is a story of people, as much as the horse, and Gary Ross has hit a home run.
I worked for several years in this world and found the movie remarkable in its adherence to the true nature of these times and these people. Some really talented people used their creativity to transport the viewer to 1938.
