Yesterday a small group of us went to see the new Steven Spielberg film, ‘War Horse’, at City Screen Cinema. ‘War Horse’ was originally a famous book which was then made into a theatre production. It is the story of a boy who raises a horse which is taken away to fight in the First World War. The boy is very sad and promises to find the horse again. The film follows the life of the horse as different people take charge of him.
We had great expectations of the film, tissues at the ready expecting to cry. Unfortunately, the film was rather disappointing. The actors were annoying with their fake Devonshire accents and the lighting cast a falseness on the natural beauty of the landscape. AND we didn’t cry!
However, after the film some of us went for a coffee in the Pitcher and Piano bar, overlooking the river – and that was thoroughly enjoyable!
