War Horse: Difference between revisions

* [[Determinator]]: Nothing is going to stop Albert from finding Joey, nor Joey from finding Albert.

* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]: Albert spends three years in the trenches and comes home with his horse. Joey survives ''four'' years of the same and comes home with his human.

* [[Eye Scream]]: Implied - Albert is caught in a cloud of mustard gas in the trenches, and the next time we see him, his eyes are bandaged. He recovers, however.

* [[Fire-Forged Friends]]: David and Albert overcome their class differences after the war and seem to become friends. David even volunteered to help declare Joey as an officer's horse to ensure he does not get auctioned off after the war.

* [[Plucky Comic Relief]]: A single goose is constantly providing stupid antics during times of great stress, such as when Joey is training to plow and right before he enlists in the army. It even [[Stealth Pun|gooses]] Albert's father after a particularly stupid blunder.

* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Nicholls and Fridrich.

* [[Recycled in Space]]: [[Black Beauty]] in WORLD WAR ONE!

* [[Scenery Porn]]: The English countryside combined with [[Janusz Kaminski]]'s cinematography is absolutely breathtaking. Steven Spielberg himself even called it the most beautiful place he'd ever shot a film.
