No one should believe the story that ends with "They live happily ever after," and I don't believe it. But the movie "White-Maned Wild Horse" to recommend today should be one of the very few exceptions.
Synopsis of "White-Maned Wild Horse"
Stills from "The White-Maned Wild Horse"
The film tells the story of a rural child who adopts a wild horse that escapes from abuse by herders. The shepherd tried to drive the horse back, but the child had formed a friendship with the wild horse and was willing to run with the wild horse into the vast river. The cinematography of this film is more affirmed. Some people even said that although the film is black and white, some people even said that although the film is black and white, it is rich in color, and some people think that "some shots, such as gray reeds, galloping white horses, make people feel like a Chinese ink painting."
A clip from the movie "The White-Maned Wild Horse"
In camargue, a white-maned horse in the wetlands of southern France escapes from the abuse of her shepherds, and the teenager Folco (Alain Emery) takes it in and becomes good friends with him. The shepherd looked around, hoping to catch the fleeing white horse. The boy and the white horse are willing to flee for freedom...
Albert Lamorisse's 1953 work is a masterpiece of the "poetic fantasy films" that appeared in France after the 1950s. The film won the Best Short Film Award at the 1953 Cannes International Film Festival and the Jean Vigo Short Film Award in 1953.
Netizen reviews:
"No one should believe the story that ends with 'They live happily ever after,' and I don't believe it either. But The White-Maned Wild Horse should be one of the few exceptions.
Rameres has only made four films in his life, "White Mane Wild Horse" in 52 years, "Red Balloon" in 56 years, I prefer the wild nature of this white horse to the feelings of red balloons. Behind the black and white impression of La Morris's ink paintings, he likes the white-maned horse running in the vast wetlands, likes The glowing eyes of Folco, and likes the beauty of him holding the horse's neck and disappearing into the estuary. A white horse that never bows its head, and a handsome and stubborn French teenager, can not know how much ethereal things in the water and sky can be elicited, but these forty minutes of brilliant images alone are like a transparent sky, looking up or out of reach.
This is a film about freedom, a film about passion, a film about the story between a young white horse and a young boy, such a film is destined to be full of charm that cannot be released for a long time, I don't know if I will think of it many years later, whether I am still the white-maned horse, or have become a well-dressed cowboy. In the face of youth who are enemies of the world, people think that free and uninhibited cowboys cannot compete, just as in front of children who do not stain red dust, even great adults cannot boast of freedom.
