The Woman with the Torch : Elsie Inglis's War
The Woman with the Torch : Elsie Inglis's War
Elsie Inglis and the work of the Scottish Women's Hospitals (SWH) are captivating. Elsie and the other women did not conform to the stereotype of women in war. They were operating close to the fighting on both the Western Front and in the Balkans. Also, the SWH's were run entirely and predominantly staffed by women. This meant that there were not only women doctors, rare enough in the early twentieth century but like Elsie, women surgeons.

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

I love Steven Spielberg, and while it wasn't bad, I didn't love it. He made Catch Me if You Can, which I told everyone who crossed my path about for months. This made me sleep for bits and while it was good, it didn't captivate me. The horse with the girl was the best part. Not his, best, not his worst.

You will enjoy watching this one as it depicts wars, humanity and horses from an interesting point of view. If you follow the movie and its story without caring for what was done with the help of cgi or not, if you let yourself go and embrace the story portrayed you will enjoy it.7 out of 10.

The film basically tells the story of a horse that participated in World War I, like thousands of others. Contrary to many people, I think this movie is not just the story of a horse nor is it focused for people who are fond of horses. It spite of that, it uses the story of a particular horse to focus on a subject we rarely think about: the horse's indispensable help to humans. The horse was essential to our society over the centuries, both at peace and at war. He has been man's best friend, much more useful and important than the dog itself, and the film shows this very well, just like the affective bond that can be built between man and animal. I also liked the way the trenches and the war scenario was rebuilt. Everything seemed quite realistic and according to the historical truth, so I was able to ignore any hypothetical inaccuracies in the details. Jeremy Irvine did very well on the main human character, perfectly up to the challenge, as well as most of the supporting cast. It has been nominated for six Oscars and, although it hasn't won any of them, this is already a prize in itself, it's not?

I mostly hated this because terrible cliché story line but one thing I cant stand anymore is that the story takes place in England?! Wtf?! I wanna see American war movies, not crap from another country. Why would Spielberg waste his time to make a garbage children's movie about this? When I first watched it I thought it was in the us in 1912. But then I saw the English flag and I immediately lost interest. Thats just my opinion though. Forgive me for loving this country enough. And ill stick to some good war movies that's actually about the country I live in. I cant stand watching war movies that shows the view of other countries. Maybe if this movie was about the us I might have liked it. But now its a disaster in my opinion no offense to Europe.
