If you loved Close Encounters of the Third Kind, try War Horse
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Steven Spielberg, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Close Encounters of the Third Kind, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What War Horse is
You live on a farm with your horse Joey but he is sold to the cavalry and then war erupts. The director frames Joey's journey against the war's chaos.
