Classes in the morning. This evening we went as a program to see War Horse. I was not excited to go. It got great reviews, but I don’t really care about stories about horses and war. The production was put together nicely, but the acting was not very impressive (it annoyed my a bit), and the plot was lame. The only cool part was the horses, basically metal and leather shells of horses supported by three actors. They made the actions and sounds of the horses very lifelike. It was cool in the beginning, then it wears off and you realize that it is just three grown men making animal noises. That’s when you start laughing (at the wrong parts), but it is pretty ridiculous. I suppose I am being pretty cynical, it was a good production, I just couldn’t relate or really enjoy it. I am not the only one to feel this way; many of the other students share my sentiments. Calvin absolutely detested the play. When we got back to the Centre, I looked up War Horse and found out that Steven Spielberg is actually making a movie about it in 2012. Haha very funny!
