Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

ryancarmody Much can be said about Buck Brannaman, he's a father, a husband, a friend, and of course a cowboy. However Buck is different, he is has a talent, one in which he uses in order to help people all around the United States befriend their horses. This documentary truly dwells into the life that Buck lives day to day. Buck, coming from a rough childhood inspires people to be kind not only their horses but also to others and themselves. He believes that "a horse in the mirror to the riders soul" and through many examples throughout the film, his belief in greatly supported. With an underlying message on "kindness" the film tries to teach viewers that kindness truly is the way to befriend, and work with nearly anyone and anything. In the movie Buck is able to gain the trust of nearly every horse he come in contact with, believing that they should be treated as if it were a child and you were its parent. This message is able to get across to the viewers and truly make you think about how treat one another. Overall a good movie with a great underlying message.

hlee-07484 Life is not always perfect and Buck Brannaman shows how that does not and should not ruin the rest of your life. He lived a very difficult life, but he did not let that phase him and he did not let that ruin his future. He loved training horses from such a young age so he decided to follow his love of training horses to become a horse trainer. This documentary was great in showing how one man showed that difficulties in life doesn't mean success cannot arise in the future. Buck is a man that showed passion for what he does. He proves that even though life may throw obstacles in the way, overcoming those obstacles makes anyone and everyone stronger no matter what. I don't want to ruin the movie before anyone sees it so I will end by saying this documentary teaches that life is full of difficulties, but that doesn't make everything go wrong.

mariguti-69406 Buck Brannaman's way of fixing troubled horses will make you evaluate your perspective of yourself. By working at horse clinics all over the country, Buck teaches people how interactions with horses goes way beyond horse and horseman but the energy transmitted between the two. Years of abuse throughout his childhood taught Buck that empathy is key when it comes to any being, not just human and he sends the message out to you that (just like a child) why break a horse when you can fix it? The movie connects the similarities between horses and people and teaches you how a horse will mirror the energy you transmit to it. I really liked this movie because even though I am an animal lover you don't have to be one to love it; the movie starts to become more about yourself than the horses. As you get more into the movie you start to see how just like a horse mirrors who you are, you also see yourself in the horse (maybe Buck sees himself in scared horses when he was abused as a child). What I liked most about this movie is that you can either take the literal plot of how Buck fixes horses or learn a deeper lesson of the importance of family, empathy, and how you treat animals.

Brian Dorsainvil An intriguing and fascinating documentary about the amazing and strong willed horse trainer named Buck..At a very young and tender age, Buck began to perform rope tricks along with his older brother and soon became a local star. People lined up to see Buck and his older brother perform. Although the boys seemed to have a wonderful life, their life behind the scenes was terrifying. Their father treated them very harshly and made living with him a horror. Buck's mother hindered his aggressive behavior but after she died the father unleashed his full wrath on the kids causing Buck to leave his home and begin his professional career with horses."To be great you must be sensitive". Buck advocates a very benevolent approach to horses. One of Buck's strong beliefs is that the way you treat horses resembles the way you treat other human beings and any inner conflict problems one has with his or herself. This documentary teaches life lessons and general respect for animals rather than simply forcing a horse to do as one wishes. If a horses is broken in using harsh methods, the horse is going to be very aggressive in response and extremely unhappy. This movie provides a different yet effective method of approaching horses. The comments of other horse owners further strengthen Buck's reputation by advocating his methods and stating how efficient and productive they are. As an individual who hasn't been around horses, i can't compare or even being to comprehend how strong and skilled Buck truly is. Even so, this movie gave me a taste of how skilled and powerful Buck is. This documentary is not the most exciting but as a viewer who knew nothing about horses, I felt this documentary was definitely intriguing,informative and interesting to watch.
