CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
bikerhiker46 I misspent my younger years working as an assistant horse trainer and managed to work with two mustangs during that time. Thus I have a pretty good idea of how challenging the job can be. To say that I found the incredible accomplishments documented in this movie amazing would be to understate my reaction by more than a little. And for the results to be obtained in 100 days, more than amazing. Astounding would be the term I'd use. But the makers of this movie accomplished much more than a simple showcasing of competence on the part of the trainers portrayed. Although wild horses were the main focus the sensitive portrayal of human spirit is what I will never forget. In the future every time I get disillusioned with human misbehavior I will watch this movie again for a refresher course in the great things we are capable of achieving.
younngl Well first of all mustangs are not wild horses, but are feral horses, it is a pet peeve of mine. This film overall is well put together. The reason for such a low rating is because it not educational at all, as a documentary, and has a somewhat dangerous message...I started riding 20 years ago, and have since owned 3 horses, and seen all manners of irresponsible, and abusive horse ownership, riding, and training. This film just does not give a responsible message, and would have you believe that you can responsibly train a horse from I handled to well trained in 100 days. The truth is that truly training a horse competently takes much longer than 100 days, more like a few years at least. The amount of stress put on these horses just isn't a good thing in the long run. There is no reason to stand on a horse in boots, horses are not playground equipment. Too many people would look at stuff like this and think that this is realistic horse training, and some of these people aren't even that great at riding.I know the BLM does this to promote adoption, but holding a 100-day training competition really isn't that responsible. Too many people own horses that shouldn't. So don't think that you will get any education, or any view into realistic competent horse training. It would be better if the BLM nixed the competition and just had some sort of program for people to train these horses. Less stress on the horse, and people can benefit too.
Karieann Politzer I have to say when I first picked it up I was reluctant to watch it. "Another documentary" I said to myself, but to my surprise I was wrong. I have to admit the beginning is a bit boring and you wonder when it's going to pick up or if it will pick up at all, but it all changes quickly,This amazing film about the relationships between one hundred wild mustangs and one hundred trainers. This film shows a few of these people's stories trying to tame their wild horse. Each of the stories are so unique with a variety of people from all backgrounds. And at the ending I cried. I cried like a baby actually. It was beautiful. As some stated before, you don't have to like horses to like this movie, but it will surely change your thinking once you see it. I hope you all watch this movie, it's life changing and a good movie for all ages.
avlc-424-547189 This film is so heartwarming and powerful. The bonds between the horses and the trainers are incredibly moving - I had no idea that training a horse could be so difficult! Each of the trainers has their own set of trials and tribulations to get over with each of the horses. Watching them get through to the horses is such a moving experience. This movie changed the way I see and think about horses and trainers for the rest of my life. In fact, because of this movie, I'm now saving up to try and get horse lessons. These creatures, these horses deserve our affection and this movie brought that to my attention. I highly recommend this film to anyone who has ever had a beloved pet, or known someone who has loved a pet because if you care about animals at all, you should totally watch this movie.
