War Horse – Starring Jeremy Irvine, Emily Watson and Peter Mullan. Directed by Steven Spielberg. Rated M. By Simon Miraudo. At its core, War Horse is an anti-combat film about the cowardice of man in comparison to the bravery and unflinching determination of animals. It sounds like it were tailor-made for Werner Herzog.
