Review of The Horse Whisperer (1998) by Rosa G — 24 Feb 2008
To say that this movie is about the relationship between a little girl and her horse is a gross understatement. For the beautiful screen adaptation of Nicholas Evans' novel under Robert Redford's master direction is a soothing canticle for the spirit.
A song of hope, that touches our hearts, as the minuscule and almost unnoticeable drop of rain does when kissing a flower's petal by the dying shadows of sunrise. This is a story that says that love is everpresent patience, particularly in those times when the object of our affection seems to be distant, or even lost.
It is about falling into the dark abyss of hopelessness when we realize that for whatever reasons perhaps we have been taking for granted the very things that in the end, are the ones that keep us breathing.
Or even learning, that sometimes we have to let go of certain things, for others to stay and blossom. I love it and regret that it was completely overlooked at the Oscars. (This is an extract from my Amazon review of this movie).
