    Hans Zimmer and Bryan Adams sound track?!?! It's impressive that they kept the original approach of using horses to provide the horse's voice. What was your reaction? Where does this rank on your rewatch list?

    • @JNDReacts
      @JNDReacts 8 місяців тому +45

      This comment just made me realize that Tarzan and Spirit are practically the same movie (and I don’t mean that in a negative way).
      Starts out with the titular character as a baby, then shows a bit of them as a goofy kid/colt, getting into trouble and causing the adults to look at their moms sideways, but also shows them learning how to thrive. Then it transitions into them as adults, saving their families from a big cat. Then they find some outsiders near their home and they start poking around the campsite.
      Here it deviates a bit, but eventually they meet a woman/mare who shows them things about their way of living. Tarzan/Spirit feel their hearts being pulled in two directions. At one point they both end up kidnapped, trapped on a form of transportation and they have to fight their way out. Then in the end Jane/Rain decide to leave their homes to be with Tarzan/Spirit and their families in the wild.

    I'm surprised I haven't seen a comment yet about the meaning of his 'friend' the eagle - the eagle is a symbol throughout the movie for his freedom, where in the beginning and the end, he is free, but when it turned away from him at the tribe it was a way of showing the symbolism that although he escaped the Army fort, he's still not quite free yet.

      ​​​​​@@dandelion1469 I thought the same too. When he was first taken, the eagle went to him calling out. This eagle didn't even acknowledge him. Also, the tribe was supposedly far from his home, and I don't think the eagle followed him all the way there. Spirit realized, in that moment, how far he really was from his herd. And of course, the symbolism *@ChocoBunny* spoke of adds a whole 'nother layer to the whole thing.

    I love this film and the fact that you can understand the story WITHOUT talking. It’s such smart storytelling to get the audience to understand what’s happening with little to no dialogue?! If I remember the bonus features correctly, they added the eyebrows for the facial expressions too and that took time to hand draw. The soundtrack in beat with what Spirit is doing to help tell the story?! Insane. I loved the risk they took with this and yes I listen to the soundtrack on a regular basis in the gym 😂 BONUS: this is based off a book series that I read as a kid.

    What really gets me with this movie - every time - is the fact that even though Spirit "won" at the end of the story, we are all aware of how they really had no chance, looking at how the expansion towards the west actually took place. He succeeded in saving his homeland within the story- but did it last in the end?
    This also makes the story go full circle as it connects to the initial monologue by Matt Damon as he first introduces the story.
    Also, I totally see the scene of the horses having to pull the steam engine up the hill as really cynical of the settlers as for me it really felt like forcing you to burn down your own house. It's really heartbreaking when Spirit realises he is being used to harm the land he loves so much and he would give everything for. The horses, for me, represent the exploitation of the west and the ruthlessness exhibited by the settlers.
    I have so many feelings about this movie and I think, even though it really isn't as obvious about it, it's symbolism is very intricate and beautiful. It is very special to me and I listen to the soundtrack regularly. The pure desperation and the aching for freedom that can be felt through the score is really powerful and it lifts my mood instantly!

    i grew up in a Native American boarding school on the Navajo Nation, & this movie was a favorite among many Native kids because many of us connected to the movie personally. wild horses & buffalo/bison are rare to see today because the United States government almost wiped them out in order to starve & immobilize the Native Americans.
    many families also lost a lot of livestock after the federal government implemented a livestock reduction act. many livestock were killed or stolen by the federal government because we had too much. but that was far from the truth. some families had less than a few animals, so when their livestock was "reduced," all their animals were killed or taken.
    wild animals like horses, were also affected because it gave the federal government another reason to "reduce" any & all livestock in the area.

    I've noticed a lot of people miss this: That eagle was not his friend Eagle. He's far from his home and that's not the Eagles territory. It was a different eagle. It just brought back memories of his home and his friend. That part was always so sad to me.

    • @llambdha5232

      I always thought the eagle was his friend but he had to turn around either because he was at the very edge of his territory, where the wilderness ends (the village is the border between the wild and human land). That he turns around and calls Spirit because he was looking for his horse friend and when he saw him, he was like "I need to go back to your herd tell them you're alive". As a kid I fully believed that was the point. The eagle symbolizes freedom. Entering skies above human village would be something he couldn't do. Seeing him reminds Spirit that he remains outside of the freedom he was at that point kind of giving up on and forgetting

      @@llambdha5232 I take things very literally, so I'm sure the whole thing about the freedom is part of what it was supposed to mean. I don't know how big a bald eagle's territory spans or if they have a set territory, but Spirit was taken FAR away from home. Plus wouldn't the eagle have rejoiced and played with him if it was his friend? The eagle is never seen interacting with any other horses. Plus all bald eagle's look the same. The only difference is a song span between the male and females. How could Spirit know if if was his friend or not? It looked like him. Thinking he saw a friend from his home brought back the memories of his home that he had forgotten about as he was with Rain and in the village so long. At least, that's how I see it.

      @@alexrogue18 oh, I always thought the eagle was THE eagle, I just assumed it as a kid because in the movie we know about only one bird. The territory area - I don't know much about bald eagles and I knew even less back then. To me he was s symbol. He could be wherever wilderness is. And that's why he couldn't greet Spirit. Spirit at the time was beyond the edge of wild areas. Among humans, with a tamed mare, with a rope on his neck. The eagle called to him but couldn't cross the border. And that made Spirit understand he kind of left his old self behind and needed to choose. He cannot be in both worlds at the same time, that's why right after that he's talking about his heart being torn two ways

    Since I'm blind I always have to watch the screen up close so watching movies with tons of dialogue is kinda tiring and I don't really enjoy watching movies or tv shows a lot. But this movie was amazing to see on my big screen at home or even on my phone. I not only could appreciate the visuals but also the story telling through my own eyes. I normally have to ask people what happened in a movie. This also made me appreciate the music. It really pulls at the heart. Spirit taught me a valuable lesson that even though I have a disability and can't live like a normal person, I stay positive and work with what I have. It shows hope even if it doesn't look like there will be. Im happy you guys reacted to such a treasured movie. ❤

    Edit: Little Creek got the knife from his friends who rode up to them right after they left the fort, they were waiting nearby. During the night when Little Creek makes the howling noises (and Spirit thinks something about not understanding humans), he's signaling them and they're answering back (I assume he was telling them it was clear for them to toss the knife over the wall). I never understood that as a kid, wasn't until I watched it for the millionth time as an adult I realized that.
    I was obsessed with this movie as a kid. I had a horse themed 4th birthday party and know the soundtrack by heart. I still love watching it. The story, music, the blend of 2d and 3d animation is impeccable. One thing that I thought was so well done was Spirit's inner monologue in addition to having humans speaking. It allowed us to know what Spirit was seeing and thinking, while still having him act like a real horse, and not a talking, animated horse. You can see the comparison when you look at a film like Brother Bear (which is also a great movie in its own right), where you have the animals animated to actually be moving their mouths and speaking. It feels like a totally different environment than the scenes with humans.

    This movie came out when I was 12, at this point I had been taking riding lessons for 5 years and just started leasing my first horse ( who would become my heart horse). I was, and still am, one of those crazy horse girls. This movie is a masterpiece to me. I do not have children, but I have a 2 year old niece who is starting to show interest in horses. You best believe this will be a regular I show her and encourage that passion.
    This movie also inspired me to get involved with mustangs. I take part in the 100 day mustang makeover challenges. There are a lot of mustangs in BLM holding facilities needing homes. The 100 day challenge is a competition. You get assigned a random feral mustang, you take it home and get 100 days to train the horse. You then take the horse to the competition and show off what the horse has accomplished. At the end the horses are auctioned off to good homes. They make great horses, and are very hardy. Some of the best trail horses I ever had.

    36:40 not sure where Mason Quinn got that from. All Disney 2D animations are hand drawn, the last ones being The Princess and the From in 2009, and Winnie the Pooh in 2011. The alternative would be flash/cutout animations that have a completely different feel. And with the Advent of CGI animations, that short "Paperman" used a new technique where twice the work was put in: first they made a 3D CGI animation, then drew over it.

    Literally 7:49 sums this up exactly. No words, but you guys interpreted it to English using the exact same phrasing I've always heard in my head since 2002.
    AND it's such a cool and interesting subversion of expectations to hear most of the verbal context given to us _NOT_ from the main character, but from all the little side characters and general environment surrounding him. 🤯 Like when do you _ever_ see a movie where you're not constantly hearing directly from the main character? Where you hear more from everyone around them than from them? _(so cool)_ 😍
