I couldn't bring myself to watch that movie since it always seemed too depressing (I hate walking away from a film and thinking, "Wow... that was sad." Make me laugh; scare me; make me think. Do not make me cry).

On a crackier note, every time I saw the trailer I thought: ah, the love between a boy and his horse...

[guanin]

I haven't been able to watch sad movies in a long while thanks to my ridiculous ability to cry at anything that is remotely touching (seriously, it's horrible). Maybe it's a good things that I find this movie way too sentimental, since movies like that actually kill my urge to cry, which sounds contradictory, but somehow it works out. Except for this particular death, which was horrible, although I already knew it was coming, but it was still horrible.

It is basically a platonic love story between a boy and a horse.

Platonic my ass. That boy is waaaaaay too into that horse. "We'll be together some day, Joey" is a literal line taken literally from the film. I mean WHAT.

Of course that did make lotus0kid and I laugh when Cpt. Nicholls was so nice about it. He understands about the love between a boy and a horse, obviously.

[guanin]

Yeah, that's true. He said that? I really have no idea what people were saying during half of this movie. My friends and me kept talking over it. It was too hot in the room to focus. That line is ridiculous. These two were too lovey dovey.

Nicholl's was just so sweet. That made his death extra horrible. I was like, "who's going to take care of the horse now?"

I can see how a movie being too sentimental would counter the urge to cry (it's why Hallmark films succeed only in making people retch), but I still think I'll pass. /laugh/

Platonic love or potential cos-play furry sessions? ;)

[guanin]

Okay, so it might not be quite platonic. I don't know why I phrased it like that. That boy is waay too into that horse.

I knew it. He's a hoof lover.
