As title really, no-one one is brave enough to go with me so I am going up to London on my own! How many boxes of tissues will I need?
Going to see War Horse on my own, is this wise !

Half a box will do you.
You will be so enthralled you won't notice yourself sobbing. It truly is mind blowing and you will never forget the experience.

It was a dreadful film. One of the worst I have ever seen, complete rubbish.
I assume OP is refering to the play. The puppetry is incredible, and it is very cleverly done. However having read the book (it has always been one of my favourites long before any play or film was made) I was dissapointed that what I feel is the main theme of the book was missed. I almost felt like the whole point of the story was missed in the play. Worth going to see for the puppetry and production. Not for the story line.
On a seperate note when I went I couldn't work out why on earth the person sat next to me kept her sunglasses on the whole time. I assumed she was blind! It wasn't until the end my sister informed me I had been sitting next to Yoko Ono for the last 3 hours!

The film's crap - I giggled my way through.
The stage play however - stunning. And at least on your own, you can't embarrass who you go with!

I may have completely read the book wrong, or somehow not 'got' the play, but personally I have always felt the book very much has the theme that essentially the Brits and Germans are the same, they show love and compassion for each other and the horses, neither side want to be there, and it was refreshing to read a book that wasn't 'the germans are all bad'
. The play competely missed that aspect I felt. They rushed through the time Joey and Topthorne spent with the Germans, and I seem to remember there was an Germans are bad undercurrent !

Thanks Charliemouse. I did get a little bit of that from the play. Haven't watched the film yet - got it on DVD but its not pulling me! I must read the book.

I'm so glad I got lent a pirate copy of this film and didn't fork out going to see it - I had a box of tissues ready and everything as I was thinking along blackbeauty sad lines - but this was total cheese, wouldn't bother going to see it, would wait until it is on TV just so you can say you've seen it!!
