Snug Slug Activities

Right now, my brother is going through WWI in his humanities class, next they’ll be spending time on WWII.

While this is not necessarily my preferred era to study, I do recognise the importance of the wars in our history and their continuing effect on society.

For his homework he was assigned to watch War Horse (2011). I had never seen this film before either, I mostly avoid movies about horses and dogs because they usually die.

Spoilers: To my surprise, the titular horse does not die. I still cried.

This movie has a good reputation and it turns out that it has earned it. It does a wonderful job of telling some very dark and awful stories while highlighting the kindness, love, and humanity that exists in our world.
