Oh and has anybody you know experienced something like this??

Answer 1

I&#039;ve seen the movie and I&#039;m a toughie I don&#039;t cry when I see something sad instead I laugh. I know terrible. Yes this movie was sad and I was moved but not far enough that I was going to cry. It just made me love horses even more.

Oh and I have the book I just haven&#039;t read it yet

Answer 2

I liked the movie. I haven&#039;t read the book.

My Daughter was hit by a semi while riding. It broke her leg in 3 places. Riped and tore some tendons, ligaments and some other damage. The horse had a fractured pelvis and lots of bruising.

Both survived with Gods grace.

Answer 3

I read the book about a year before I saw the movie.  The imagery in the movie was nothing shy of gorgeous, but the book tells a superior story.  I have often found that when a book is made into a movie, something is lost in translation.  This is why I think a lot of people are apt to say that &quot;the book is better&quot;.  In this case, I really do have to agree.  

I felt for Pilgrim far more in the book than I did in the movie.  His injuries were far more grotesque in the book, and that made his triumph all the greater.  

As for whether it moved me or not, that&#039;s complicated.  I cheered for Pilgrim, but I disliked the adulterous relationship between the mother and the horse trainer.  I love a good love story, but adultery just leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.  I guess it just bites too close to personal experience.

Answer 4

I rlly moved me! And it made me cry at points too! It&#039;s an amazing movie but I haven&#039;t read the book yet.

Answer 5

Well, the movie was pretty good, but I definitely preferred the book. Not only did the book provide lots of additional information, it also had a happy part at the end after a horrible tragedy (those who have read the book will know what I&#039;m talking about).
