Have you seen a lot of movies about horses? Surely, someone can remember Spielberg's “War Horse” or the cartoon “Spirit: The Soul of the Prairies” and that’s probably all. Below will be presented examples of domestic films about horses , which can be viewed in a unique section “ ". You will be surprised how many great films about these amazing animals were filmed in Soviet times, and then in the days of Russia.
One of these tapes is Adele , which tells the story of a young girl, Christine, who was going to marry a wealthy and influential businessman. Before the wedding, he brings her to his country house, which local summer residents call the castle, for its size and luxury. So that the bride does not yearn on the eve of the ceremony, the groom gives her a racehorse named Adele. At the same time, someone Zakharov came to the village. He considers himself a very unfortunate scientist, but after he manages to completely stop the rebellious mare, Christina sees him as a real hero.
A completely different kind of film " Mustang-pacer ." If in the previous story the emphasis was on romantic relationships, here the narrative is about the harmony of nature and man, as well as about how this very man loves to destroy and destroy all life and beauty. The wild mustang ambler, his girlfriend Salt, as well as their foal - they are the main characters of this picture. People here enter for the most part as minor villains from the days of the Wild West.
Another film on this subject, “ Village Vacations ”, combines in its plot a narrative of harmony between man and nature, as well as romantic relationships between people. It all starts with the girl Tanya, a senior student at a Moscow school, arriving in the village for a vacation to her grandmother. Soon after arrival, she met a local guy named Lesha. He offers her to learn to ride a horse and gradually between young people mutual feelings arise, developing into the first youthful love.
Another film that tells the story of a teenage friendship between a man and a horse is the 1975 film, “ What 's the matter with you?” ". This time, the main character is a student of the sixth grade Mitya Gromov. He has a transitional age, which makes the corresponding changes in the character of the young man. Quite unexpectedly, he decides to stay in school for the second year, because the girl he likes is unlikely to go to the next class. And he becomes the involuntary kidnapper of his classmate when he decided to help him with his studies. And to top it all, Mitya breaks the law, trying to save the horse leading to the slaughter. The film “ Ivan and the Mare ” also has a somewhat similar plot. He combined in himself, probably, all the main scenario moves of the previous tapes. Here there is a romantic component, and a different attitude of people to nature in general, and to horses in particular. The story twists around a love triangle between Galina, Edik and Ivan. Suddenly, a mare named Kasia intervenes in the vicissitudes of their relationship. Edik is eager to take his horse to the slaughterhouse and “put him on a cervelat,” Ivan, on the contrary, is trying with all his might to save the poor animal. The young girl has to make a choice between these two people and their actions. As you might guess, almost all the films from this section are saturated with real humanism, as well as the attitude of people towards each other and wildlife.
