Making the magic of "War Horse"

[@wendym1234]

Wow, that 'They had no choice' brought a tear to my eyes! Poor horses! Can't wait to see show!

[@arweiss100]

Loved the film and would just love to see this meaningful, inspiring stage production. Just can't believe 10 million horses perished & the cruelty they endured on the frontlines and yes..they had no choice. It's not enough man is so inhumane to his own kind, in war and life so he is to the innocent animals of this earth. The Handspring Puppet Theater from S. Africa just makes Joey & Topthorne transcendent and come to life. Utterly magnificent.

UNBELIEVEABLE these puppets!!!Is there an OSCAR for such artwork???

[@indiefilms111]

wow horses have been thru a lot .. even with the native american history, slavery, it seems horses have been with us forever. I love horses. I wished i could see this play

[@broadwaymike92]

I went on a guided tour of the National Theater when I was in London and I saw the Original Joey Puppet backstage! It's so cool how they control it!

[@DarkMooon101]

I read this book so many times! OMG! Can't wait to go see it in theater clubb! (i forget where) and then its coming out in theaters too!

[@SuperKid578]

@aiexfrankerson The saying "They had no choice" bascially means that the horses couldn't say no, they don't want to be used in the war. As all animals, they cant tell us their feelings and that.

[@Normacly]

I dream WW1 was the end to all wars. For the first time, there mass amount of films and pictures to show people that war is truly hell on earth. However, no matter how "civilized" we humans are and will be. We can never fully let go of our blood lust.

[@XyzzyZork]

The horses didn't know why they were there or what they were being ridden towards (remember, the bullets/cannonballs were being fired from *both* sides), and were trained to help ensure they stayed obedient & calm despite the noise/chaos (hence the term "bombproofing" one's horse) -- in addition to that, horses are herd animals, so their natural reaction to fear is to keep up with other running horses and not be left behind. That amounts to not having a choice.

[@Noodlemonkey7]

Breathtaking Q.Q...

[@dustymew]

@aiexfrankerson The men and other humans in the war had the choice to go left and right. Some people WANTED to go to war. The horses had no choice. They couldn't decide if they should go left or right to avoid gunfire, they were forced into line of fire, next to bombs and other horrifying stuff. Humans can avoid that. Animals can't.

i need one of those house puppets for halloween.....that would be DOPE

[@Omskanielar]

Just amazing.

[@TheSupahFly97]

@arweiss100 I went and saw the movie as well, almost cried my eyes out. I wish I could see the puppets, they look amazingly real. You can see how much work has gone into building them, and it has payed off.

[@rafaelhernandez2006]

Thankyou JESUS GOD FOR THE TALENT AMEN..

[@shdrew]

I saw this on Broadway just because I wanted to see this puppetry in action. Not a huge fan of the play - it's too long, a bit overacted and WAY too depressing (I cried my eyes out the entire time), but the puppetry is absolutely amazing.

[@FourthOfApril]

@LambertsLabelle: Kohler and Jones were given a Special Tony Award for their work on the puppets of War Horse. The production also won Best Play, Best Direction of a Play, Best Scenic Design, Best Lighting Design, and Best Sound Design.

I heard they used coconut halves to make the click-clack, argueably brought there by swallows.

[@antoniocaruso1178]

[@Sh3ikha]

[@TraceurHarryG1]

@MegaOlympians .....well said

[@vivienleigh1097]

Horses have the choice, to " Shy at the Fray" and just stop.. a horse doesnt have to go.

[@samcoley123456789]

GIRL DIED IN 1993, A MAN BURIED HER IN HER OWN home GIRLwhen she was still alive. The murderer chanted, "Toma sota balcu" as he buried her. Now that you have read the chant, you will meet this little girl. In the middle of the night she wil...l stand at the side of your bed starring straight into your eyes. She will suffo......cate......... you... like she... See More ... was suffocated. This story is sadly true. If you post this 5 differnt times she will not bother you
