War Horse (2012)

I saw this movie at the theaters yesterday and have to say I really liked it. Even though there wasn't anything surprising in the movie it was still one of those "feel good films." The movie takes place right before and then during World War 1 and follows a horse named Joey from his birth, separation from his mother, training with a farm boy, sale to the British Army, battles in France where he went back and forth with serving in the German and British armies, loosing his best friend to the end of the war.
One scene that I liked was when Joey gets cut in "no-man's land" between the German and British trenches and a British soldier and a German soldier come out to help him. The two soldiers, who were shooting at each other just a few minutes ago and who will shoot at each other again, stop and get to know each other as they free Joey from the barbed wire.
The film shows that anything is possible if you believe and are determined to make it happen.
