An American cowboy.
A stallion that refuses to quit.
A deadly Arabian race,
the Ocean of Fire.
A man and horse proving
heart trumps over
treachery and Nature.
Check it out.
If you like adventure, horses, and
triumph of the spirit,
you will enjoy this movie.
Roger Ebert did:
"Hidalgo is the kind of movie Hollywood has almost become too jaundiced
to make anymore.
Bold, exuberant and swashbuckling,
it has the purity
and simplicity of something Douglas Fairbanks or Errol Flynn might have
bounded through."
I watched it years ago when it came out and really enjoyed it. (And Viggo of course.) Although when the horse falls in the pit, it's really hard to watch.
ReplyDeleteThe pit sequence WAS hard to watch ... glad I watched it on Blu Ray and could fast forward! I re-watch every other year or so. (Not the pit sequence, the movie!) :-)
