I saw a trailer for this movie this afternoon. Looks like it may be interesting. About a horse that is bought for the British cavalry in WW1 and the boy who goes to France to find him. The trailer had some apparently realistic scenes of WW1 fighting – British cavalry (of course), trench warfare, German heavy artillery. It is directed by Steven Spielberg. Coming this Christmas. Official web site: warhorsemovie.com with a link to a trailer IMDB blurb: imdb.com/title/tt1568911 with links to three trailers Jim |

Looks interesting, finally a movie that I can share with my daughter! |

Yes, I saw the trailer a few days ago as well. Looks very
nice. I liked the bit where the cavalry mounts up in the
field, the overhead shot. Agree with taking the daughter
she loves horses. |

You should get the book for your daughters. It is an excellent read. |

While I enjoy WW1 movies, a war movie that I can take my daughters to see doesn't sound that appealing. After all how realistic can the combat be if it's safe enough for little girls. |

The book was one of my greatest reads as a kid. Even though I lapped up war comics and books, War Horse was a step up and reading it brought me as close as a war obsessed kid could get to realising that it's not all heroes and medals. The stage production was superb too, I hope the film doesn't  it up… |

Well my daughter is 22 years old and has two horses.
She also plays Gears of War 2 on the 360.:) War movies
don't bug her in that sense. I will have to get the book, thank you for the tip. |

"After all how realistic can the combat be if it's safe enough for little girls." Very very realistic, my daughter has nerves & stomach of flint. |
