The Best Movie Of All Time

Just like the first reviewer I have been watching this movie since I was 9 years old back in 1994. I am nighteen now and haven't seen the movie for a while but still remember it dearly as it was my most favorite movie on my shelf as a child and teen. I still have it even though it's worn quite a bit but I will show it to my kids. The movie always brings me to tears. I quote the first reviewer, "A good movie is a good movie, and Black Beauty will remain a timeless classic."

Beauty is as beauty does

I like to watch the video of Black Beauty with my children because it is such a wonderful tribute to such a beautiful animal. The story is told straight from the horse's mouth.

The beginning scene is the birth of Black Beauty. This is an exciting time and is presented nicely. We see the horse get helped up by its mother and cleaned off. This is very natural and educational for my son to observe this. He says look at the baby beauty!

The horse spends its first year someplace else and when returns it is time to be sold. He arrives at Berkwood Park the residence of Squire Gordon. The Squire and his wife greet the horse and their staff member Jon. This is when the couple decide on the name Black Beauty and where it is said that, "beauty is as beauty does".

Black Beauty is brought to the stables to meet the new horses. Merrylegs is the pony the children of the house play with and ride on. Ginger is, according to Beauty, ill tempered. The two horses immediately start inspecting each other and it is quite nice to see this getting to know you for animals.

The viewer watches Black Beauty with various families through his lifetime. There are sad times when the Horses part and then when one of them dies.

What a wonderful movie to watch as a family. For animal lovers and those that might have children who show an interest in horses. For those who have children under age four, you may want to watch once when the children are asleep to preview. This way you will see just where the birth of Black Beauty is, the fire scene and the part where the horses reins are made tighter.

WELL DONE INTERPRETATION OF THE BOOK

I just rented this one yesterday for our children. We finished reading the book just last week and I took a chance on the video that recently came out. This was done quite well and pretty much sticks with the book's story. The music is great and the first thing our yougest said, before the movie got started was, "This is nice music!" Needless to say, both of our children enjoyed it and so did my wife and I. The cinematogrphy and the music were excellent. The story faithful to the book and the overall job was well done. It's not too long, just under an hour and a half and that makes it easy to keep the kids attention. We will be shopping for the DVD.
