It's all about Cyborg Doakes with the help of Ellen Wolf's Nubian Army of Nazareth in Season 4.
You need to watch more movies.

I have to agree. I thought it could have been a good movie, but I really didn't like how Robert Redford's character always had this folksy wisdom to offer those confused city folk. That felt very cliche to me. I love Redford's other films, but this one was the weakest of the bunch for me.
shareTo each his/her own. I thought it was a fantastic movie and I loved Robert Redford's character. He seemed pretty down-to-earth to me.

Oh I agree absolutely! I saw this in the theatre with my girlfriend and I thought this movie would never end! 3 hours of the most tedious cinematic experience of my life.
Just a quick summary of the plot:
The girl and the horse have an accident, she gets injured and the horse is traumatised. The wife is a real ballbreaker and instead of just having the animal put down, she takes a road trip to see the horse whisperer guy.
After another couple of hours of not much happening, and the two leads not having a relationship, Robert Redford gives up and whips the horse. After getting a good beating, the horse is alright again... yay!

Did I miss anything?
Leave theater and go back to playing Angry Birds.

The horse was not only traumatised, he was severely injured as well. As for the girl, I would not classify seeing your best friend and the friend's hosre gruesomely killed, and having to have your leg amputated as merely "she gets injured".
The wife may be a real Type A who needs a wake up call to slow down and back off a little, but she saw something in the horse's will to live that would not allow her to put him down. Plus, she knew that would be the the absolute worst thing for the girl's fragile hold on her own will to live.
The two leads DO have a relationship. It was subtle at first, and was becoming less so (and riskier) when her husband arrived, which fact caused them to take a step back and think about it.
Robert Redford nerver, ever whips the horse. He waves a rope at him to make him run, he does rope him, and at the end, he ties a leg up and lays the horse down & has Grace come and pet him all over - and if you looked - which I doubt -you saw the horse's eye change when he submitted.
I have had horses all my life, and have seen this done. Have done it myself, except for the putting the horse on the ground part.
If you could be so unmoved by the plight of the girl, her horse, and the other characters' emotions, not to mention the beautiful scenery, I feel sorry for your girlfriend. I hope she has wised up and moved on to someone with more feelings.
Yes, you missed darn near everything.

i freakin' love this movie. i've ridden horses since i was 10 and stopped when i was 21 - i got too busy with other things. i really hope to ride again one day.
anyway, powerswonder, i hope ur girlfriend moved on to someone who has more emotion than a teaspoon. how could you not be moved by all the emotions going on between the characters?
i perferred the book to the movie, but hey, that's my opinion.
hope u find more movies that u can enjoy instead of being a killjoy.

So you want this guy's girlfriend to dump him because he's not an emotional wet blanket who is touched by a movie that basically justifies adultery as long as its Robert Redford as the other man?
shareNo, we want her to dump him because he is an emotional cripple.

sharePrecisely right on! I have several horses and their eyes do tell a story.
If anyone believes this is so simplified as to a few meaningless parts, they need awakening, therapy or both.
I found it a most enlightening and detailed story of relationships and how they work--sometimes for the good and sometimes not so well. It was a moving and most interesting dialogue between people and the animals surrounding them. We all could learn a great deal from it if watching it closely.
