DVD Reviews of Virginia's Run
DVD Review: Directors are not horse people....
Summary: 2 Stars
Ok, call me crazy, call me anything you feel fits, but this
movie drove me bonkers! I grew up w/ horses, and thus am a
horseperson. And the first thing a true horseperson will notice is that Stormy, the foal that is born, is NOT a newborn foal. Couple things that suggest this: 1.) there's no sac around him as he's coming out. 2.) he's to big, and 3.) He stands not even 2 minutes after he comes out. NO newborn foal stands that quickly and is able to walk. I've seen plenty of foals born, and they all try several times before succeeding in standing.
Another thing, after his mother passes, he wouldn't have survived. A newborn needs the mother's milk within the first hour or so after being born, w/out they'll die, or be very sickly.
One more thing I need to vent about, so bear with me. It says 2 years later after Stormy is a foal. When they show him again...um I'm sorry, but that ain't no 2 year old...That horse had to be 5 or 6, 4 possibly. He was too filled out. Also, there is no way a 2 year old could run a 50-mile or so endurance race. 2 year old thoroughbreds only run a mile at most in races, and only 2-3 times that year. The horse would have not have been able to do what the horse in the movie did.
I'm sorry if I ruined this movie for you, but it really bugs me. I hate it when people decide "oh hey let's make a horse movie" but they don't know a thing about horses. And I realize not many people would care that much, but I do, it's just something that bugs me, we all have things that bug us, people who don't know what the heck they're doing bug me....to be more specific, Directors who don't know the first thing about horses!
Description of Virginia's Run
VIRGINIA'S RUN - DVD MovieIn the tradition of National Velvet, this Nova Scotia-set family film revolves around a 13-year-old with a passion for horses. Like Elizabeth Taylor?s Velvet, Virginia (Lindze Letherman) even has an older sister, Caroline (Rachel Skarsten). Sadly, her mother was killed in a riding accident three years ago and her father, Ford (Gabriel Byrne), has since forbidden Virginia to ride. Nonetheless, she?s been visiting Twister in secret and is even with her when she gives birth to a foal. Virginia names him Stormy and he takes to her from the start, but to no one else--including owner Blake Raines (Robert Guy Miranda). So Blake sells the horse and Virginia is heartbroken. How is she going to compete in the Memorial Day endurance race? And where does Blake's new trainer, Jessie (Joanne Whalley), fit into the picture? Those questions--and others--will be answered before the end of this heartwarming adventure. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
