War Horse (2011) | Spielberg’s Sweeping WWI Epic That Time Forgot
-

The Machine drops Truman and Landen squarely into 2011, a year when Spielberg decided the world desperately needed a World War I epic starring a horse with better instincts than most generals. Saddled with sentimentality and prestige energy, this film gives the hosts plenty to chew on as they gallop through its earnest battlefield odyssey.
Synopsis
War Horse is a sweeping historical drama starring Albert Narracott (Jeremy Irvine, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again), Rose Narracott (Emily Watson, Breaking the Waves), and Lyons (David Thewlis, Harry Potter). Directed by Steven Spielberg, the film follows a Devon farm boy and his extraordinary horse, Joey, who becomes entangled in the brutal machinery of World War I. Their story unfolds across trenches, cavalry charges, and occupied countryside, blending old-fashioned melodrama with Spielberg’s signature cinematic muscle.
Why This Film?
Once positioned as a major awards contender, War Horse has largely slipped from the cultural conversation — overshadowed by other Spielberg milestones and remembered mostly for its sincerity in an era drifting toward irony. That mix of ambition, sentiment, and prestige makes it ideal fodder for the Movie Memory Machine.
