Spirit

One of my all time favorite movies is one not many people have heard of. Full of things I love: Action, danger, horses, love, friendship and awesome music!

SPIRIT. Something about this movie always got my heart pounding and my hand thumping as I watched Spirit race down the mountain with a train sliding behind him. As a child I watched it anytime I could. After a while I discovered new movies and didn’t watch it as much. For too long it has been in our movie closet without my attention. Whenever I looked at it I would think “Its a good movie, but so is Amazing Grace.” As it is, when my little brother put it on this evening I found myself glued to the TV.

Now why am I writing this? For two reasons:

1. To educate you and tell you about an amazing movie that shouldn’t be discarded on your Friday movie night.

2. This movie doesn’t have good animation, but boy does it have amazing characters. One of the things I love about it is that fact that Spirit (the main horse) has so much, well, spirit! He risks his life for other horses freedom, and ultimately, his own. If only we as Christians had that much resolve to save those around us! But any way, the second reason is to point out (if you do watch it) there are some pretty awesome messages in there.

SPIRIT, Stallion of the Cimarron. An amazing movie.
