1. ›Movie recommendation: Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron.@fieryfootprints573d

   I hope that I have not written about this movie yet. I said that Major Payne was a movie from my childhood. The same can be said about this movie as well. It is a story about adventures and struggles of an unexpected hero- A stallion. The story begins with stallion mother giving birth to a baby horse. That baby horse(our brave, curious and strong hero) quickly grows up into a fine young mustang. He becomes the leader of the herd. He spends his time playing with other stallions and fighting of threats to his friends. After some time he encounters new weird animals who walk on two feet and consider themselves rulers of the world- he meets with humans. More specifically with US cavalry. He is captured and meets with his greatest nemesis yet- Colonel. Colonel wants to break the stallion's spirit and tame him. In order to do that he orders that stallion would not be given any food or water. But stallion will remains strong and he escapes with another prisoner of soldiers: Lakota named Little Creek. After that stallion and Little Creek becomes friends but stallion still doesn't let anyone ride him. Stallion falls in love with a mare of Little Creek. After a while Little Creek sets them both free. It seems that a mare intends to go with stallion but at that time US cavalry attacks Lakota village. Mare rushes back to save her master Little Creek. She is woonded and seamingly dying. She is wounded and seemingly dying. After that the stallion was captured again and forced to drag trains with other horses. After some time stallion is rescued by Little Creek who followed him. The colonel and his men chases Stallion but he and Little Creek makes an insane jump and lands on the other side. One of the soldiers wants to shoot the Stallion but Colonel stops him. Stallion and Little Creek have both earned their freedom. After that Stallion and Mare(who also survived) travels back to his herd and live free.

   For me this was an inspiring story telling that a stubborn enough individual can accomplish great things. Years later the same lesson was retold by Spartacus and even later by Guts from Berserk. But Stallion of the Cimarron was probably the first time I saw that lesson on tv. And to this day this movie seems kinda special to me.

   Hola mis queridos amigos y amantes del cine el dia de hoy corresponde hacer el reviw a un animado clásico de la productora Dream Works Animation del año 2002.

   

   fuente/https://blizzarradas.blogspot.com

   El conjunto de actores que componian el elenco de la producción animada estuvo representada por Matt Damon el que dio su voz al corcel y por James Cronwell quien jugo el papel de villano en la historia.

   

   fuente/en.m.wikipedia.org

   Su banda sonora fue hecha por el músico Bryan Adams si el mismo que realizó temas clásicos como el de Everthing i do y I really love you woman este último se presento en el filme Don Juan de Marco de Jhonny Depp y Marlon Brandon del cual hablaremos luego.

   Lo que mas me gustó del filme en general fueron sus paisajes y escenas maravillosas las cuales fueron ambientadas con la maravillosa banda sonora que reflejó momentos de tension y de alegria y además muchas lágrimas. No tengo escena favorita porque cada una reflejó y dejó en mi maravillosos recuerdos de mi infancia cuando aun no estabamos completamente dominados por la tecnologia.

   Cada minuto del filme fue único y cada secuencia de animaación mostró la dedicación y detalle al que el esplendido grupo de trabajo supo dedicar. De ahi su exito en la gran pantalla. Es una lastima que aya sido una historia un poco corta pero merece la pena su visualización en compañia deblos más pequeños de casa quienesde seguro se sentiran identificados con el curioso e indomable corcel que logro su libertad a pesar de sus obstaculos.

   Entonces para aquellos que aun no han disfrutado de la entrega que acabo de compartir les recomiendo que no dejen de buscarla para que la vean en compañia de sus hijos o hermanos pequeños y les aseguro que será un rato agradablebe inolvidable.

   Hello my dear friends and movie lovers, today it is time to review a classic animated film from Dream Works Animation in 2002.

   

   fuente/https://blizzarradas.blogspot.com

   The ensemble cast of the animated production was represented by Matt Damon who gave his voice to the steed and by James Cronwell who played the role of the villain in the story.

   

   fuente/en.m.wikipedia.org

   Its soundtrack was made by the musician Bryan Adams if the same who made classic songs like Everthing i do and I really love you woman the latter was featured in the film Don Juan de Marco of Jhonny Depp and Marlon Brandon which we will talk about later. I really love you woman

   What I liked most about the film in general were its landscapes and wonderful scenes which were set with the wonderful soundtrack that reflected moments of tension and joy and also many tears. I don't have a favorite scene because each one reflected and left wonderful memories of my childhood when we were not yet completely dominated by technology.

   Every minute of the film was unique and each animation sequence showed the dedication and detail that the splendid work group knew how to dedicate. Hence its success on the big screen. It is a pity that the story is a little short, but it is worth watching it in the company of the little ones at home who will surely identify with the curious and indomitable steed that achieved his freedom in spite of his obstacles.

   So for those who have not yet enjoyed the delivery that I just shared, I recommend that you do not stop looking for it to see it in the company of your children or younger siblings and I assure you that it will be an unforgettable pleasant time.

3. ›"Let my spirit carry me"- Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (2002). (ENG/ESP).@divinojupiter1000d

   A story with an animation that takes us back to those golden ages of childhood for many, that stands out for its music, the nature it shows and for its ideals; a film with a simple narrative that shines for the complexity of its message; that is "Spirit: The Untamed Jail". When I first encountered this film, I was just a child, and yet it made such a deep impression on me that it is still a film I remember and admire to this day. The story of Spirit is one of those that you can watch again no matter how many years go by, because its message simply doesn't get old.

   Una historia con una animación que nos traslada a esas épocas doradas de la infancia para muchos, que destaca por su música, la naturaleza que muestra y por sus ideales; una película con una narrativa sencilla que brilla por la complejidad de su mensaje; eso es “Spirit: El córcel indomable”. Cuando me encontré por primera vez ante esta película era apenas una niña, y sin embargo, me impresionó profundamente al grado de que todavía es una película que recuerdo y que admiro hasta la fecha. La historia de Spirit es una de esas que puedes ver de nuevo sin importar cuantos años pasen, porque simplemente su mensaje no envejece.

   Our introduction to this story comes from two very important voices: the voice of Spirit himself, which in its original language (English) is dubbed by Matt Damon (Good Will Hunting; Saving Private Ryan) and by the musical voice, which thanks to Hanz Zimmer (The Lion King; Gladiator; Pearl Harbor) in collaboration with Bryan Adams, are responsible for conveying all the anger, helplessness and desire for freedom of our protagonist, the mustang horse Spirit. After witnessing his birth, Spirit places us in a meadow where all his experiences, sorrows and pains take place. It is to see the scenario in which we are already accustomed to see the cowboys with their stories of the old west, but with the protagonist that until now had gone unnoticed: the horse.

   Nuestra introducción a esta historia viene de la mano de dos voces muy importantes: la del mismo Spirit, que en su idioma original (inglés) es doblada por Matt Damon (En busca del destino; Salvando al soldado Ryan) y por la voz musical, que gracias a Hanz Zimmer (El Rey León; Gladiador; Pearl Harbor) en colaboración con Bryan Adams, se encargan de transmitir toda la ira, impotencia y deseos de libertad de nuestro protagonista, el caballo mustang Spirit. Después de ser testigos de su nacimiento, Spirit nos sitúa una pradera donde transcurren todas sus vivencias, sus penas, sus dolores. Es ver el escenario en el que ya estamos acostumbrados a ver a los vaqueros con sus historias del viejo oeste, pero con el protagonista que hasta ahora había pasado desapercibido: el caballo.

   After his birth, Spirit, who lives with other horses, realizes that they are not alone in this magnificent piece of land, because he also lives with humans who do not have the best interests, who care very little about the freedom of a horse if they can take it for their benefit. Curiosity leads Spirit to experience hard times that violate anyone's will, but what difference does it make that the hero does not become a hero until he he heeds his call, even if his path seems like hell. Thus, the indomitable Spirit falls into the hands of an American cavalry, where the colonel in command tries to tame him after all the failed attempts of his subordinates.

   I consider that this scene not only perfectly summarizes what I mentioned before, about how the music gives voice to our protagonist in a film where there is very little dialogue, but it also pits Spirit against his antagonist and rather than the latter being a jailer, this pair just have a very different concept of freedom for each other; for Spirit it is being indomitable and loyal to your ideals, but in the case of the colonel, freedom comes from power, from being in a position where you can subdue.

   Después de su nacimiento, Spirit que vive junto a otros caballos se da cuenta de que no están solos en ese magnífico pedazo de tierra, pues también convive a la fuerza con humanos que no tienen los mejores intereses, a quienes muy poco les importa la libertad de un caballo si pueden tomarlo para su beneficio. La curiosidad lleva a Spirit a vivir momentos duros que vulneran la voluntad de cualquiera, pero qué más da que el héroe no se convierte en héroe hasta que no atiende a su llamado, aunque su camino parezca un infierno. Así, el indomable Spirit cae en manos de una caballería estadounidense, donde el coronel al mando intenta domarlo tras todos los intentos fallidos de sus subordinados.

   Considero que esta escena no sólo resume a la perfección lo que he mencionado antes, acerca de cómo la música le da voz a nuestro protagonista en una película donde hay muy poco diálogo, pero también enfrenta a Spirit con su antagonista y más que ser este un carcelero, este par sólo tiene un concepto muy diferente de libertad para cada uno; para Spirit es ser indomable y leal a tus ideales, pero en el caso del coronel, la libertad viene del poder, de estar en una posición en la que puedes someter.

   Now, here we have two very different human personalities, as we meet Little Creek, of the Lakota tribe, who is also a prisoner of the general's lust for dominance and power. Little Creek is all the counterpart you might expect: a lover of his land, of his animals, of his people, of his origin, and above all, a lover of the freedom of every living thing that dwells there. Of course, at first for Spirit there will be no difference from one human to another, but Little Brook will gain his respect and trust, and together they will join forces to get out of the confinement imposed by the colonel.

   Ahora bien, aquí tenemos a dos personalidades humanas muy diferentes, ya que conocemos a Pequeño Arroyo, de la tribu Lakota, quien también es un prisionero más de las ansias de dominio y poder del general. Pequeño arroyo es toda la contraparte que puedes esperar: amante de su tierra, de sus animales, de su gente, de su origen, y sobre todo, amante de la libertad de todo ser vivo que allí habita. Por supuesto, al principio para Spirit no habrá diferencias de un humano a otro, pero Pequeño Arroyo se ganará su respeto y su confianza, y juntos unirán fuerzas para salir del encierro impuesto por el coronel.

   There are current animated films with captivating stories and wonderful animations, eccentric or simple, because for all tastes there are all kinds of content, but despite falling into the cliché I consider the formula of this film is unrepeatable, and is full of memorable scenes that stay with you over the years, for its ingenuity in conveying their messages: Loyalty, love for nature and living beings, the dark side of humanity, the violence of the hand of weapons, and also for showing us that in healthy coexistence and respecting the value of every living being, human and animal can coexist. I have not seen a film like this one nowadays, but perhaps that is also the point of creating and building a story, to make it in such a way that there is no room for comparisons. I invite you to remember it if you have already seen it, or to be impressed if you haven't, by Spirit's life in his struggle to take care of one of the most valuable and precious things in the world: freedom.

   Existen películas animadas actuales con historias cautivantes y animaciones maravillosas, excéntricas o sencillas, ya que para todos los gustos hay todo tipo de contenido, pero a pesar de caer en lo cliché considero que la fórmula de esta película es irrepetible, y está llena de escenas memorables que se quedan contigo con el pasar de los años, por su ingenio en transmitir sus mensajes: lealtad, amor por la naturaleza y los seres vivos, el lado oscuro de la humanidad, la violencia de la mano de las armas, y también por demostrarnos que en sana convivencia y respetando el valor de cada ser vivo, el humano y el animal pueden coexistir. Ya no he visto en la actualidad una película como esta, pero tal vez de eso se trata también crear y construir una historia, de hacerla de tal manera de que no haya lugar a las comparaciones. Les invito a rememorar si ya la han visto, o a dejarse impresionar en caso de que no, por la vida de Spirit en su lucha por cuidar una de las cosas más valiosas y preciadas en el mundo: la libertad.

4. ›CineTV Contest: Movie That Represents Winning: Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron / Spirit: el corcel indomable@santiago-yocoy1296d

   
   https://peakd.com/hive-121744/@cinetv/cine-tv-contest-41-movie-that-represents-winning
   

   Introduction

   The film is about the life of the horse Spirit, from his birth in a herd of horses on the prairies of the American West, through his capture and his quest for freedom and returning home to his herd.

   It is narrated by Spirit himself with a voiceover and songs and instrumental music describing his emotions, and his behaviors are equine but with human-equivalent emotions and intentions, with a great display of these especially through the animation of his eyes.

   Winning freedom

   The parallel to human reality is very obvious in this film and so can easily resonate strongly with anyone.

   The history of mankind has been and still is the story of a group of free or wanna-be free people against the group of slaveholders or wanna-be slaveholders; between the peaceful ones who just want to live and let live against those who want to live and impose their desired way of living on others by force.

   Spirit is a free being, a horse who tells his story as a human although his animation is perfectly equine (great animation by Dreamworks). With him we see how his happy life in freedom with his family and friends is taken away from him by different groups that he will resist with all his might, which even inspires the horses that had already surrendered. We also see how he does not simply want to change from more violent masters to kinder ones, such as changing from being a horse of the military to being a horse of the Indians, something that other horses that Spirit helped to free do accept; he does not want a tranquil servitude, but freedom in the open, even if he himself has to face a lion to defend his herd.

   [Song: You can't take me]
   
   Don't judge a thing until you know what's inside it
   Dont' push me - I'll fight it
   Never gonna give in - never gonna give it up no
   
   If you can't catch a wave then you're never gonna ride
   You can't come uninvited
   Never gonna give in - never gonna give it up no
   You can't take me I'm free
   

   

   On the other hand, in the humans there are two main ones: the colonel and Little Creek: both try to tame Spirit, the second without violent methods (so also Spirit responds to him with less violence than to the military), but without letting him go anyway, at first, until he understands that he will not let anyone ride him and then he lets him go, but just then is when the village is attacked and due to Spirit helping Rain, Little Creek's mare, he is recaptured.

   After that, for the first time Spirit is completely devastated as he is transported by train, but then he remembers his home and his pack:

   [Song: Sound the bugle]
   
   Sound the bugle now - play it just for me
   As the seasons change - remember how I used to be
   Now I can't go on - I can't even start
   I've got nothing left - just an empty heart
   
   I'm a soldier - wounded so I must give up the fight
   There's nothing more for me - lead me away...
   Or leave me lying here
   
   Sound the bugle now - tell them I don't care
   There 's not a road I know - that leads to anywhere
   Without a light I fear that I will - stumble in the dark
   Lay right down - decide not to go on
   
   Then from on high - somewhere in the distance
   There's a voice that calls - remember who you are
   If you lose yourself - your courage soon will follow
   So be strong tonight - remember who you are
   
   Ya you're a soldier now - fighting in a battle
   To be free once more...
   Yeah that's worth fighting for
   

   
   

   After Spirit's recapture, however, Little Creek, after the horse had saved his life from a soldier in the attack, goes looking for him to return the favor and finally succeeds in his task by saving Spirit from a fire that Spirit himself had ended up causing when fleeing from his last captors, after which, when the last hunt that the colonel and his men perform against Spirit and Little Creek begins, Spirit happily lets him ride him to escape together.

   Finally, both Little Creek and the colonel, in the face of Spirit's touching persistence, have come to admire and respect him, and Spirit wins his freedom: in the face of oppressors in what is perhaps an eternal battle, freedom is not obtained because they give it to you, but must be won and defended against them.

   _{https://nathantania.medium.com/a-horse-inspired-me-why-i-love-spirit-stallion-of-the-cimarron-17ec006a5968}

   Spirit: "I'll never forget that boy, and how we won back our freedom together."

   
   Spirit then returns to his herd, accompanied by Rain.

   Introducción

   La película trata de la vida del caballo Spirit, desde su nacimiento en una manada de cimarrones en las praderas del oeste estadounidense, pasando por su captura y su búsqueda de libertad y regresar a su hogar con su manada.

   Está narrada por el propio Spirit con una voz en off y por las canciones y música instrumental que describen sus emociones, y sus comportamientos son caballunos pero con emociones e intenciones equivalentes a las humanas, con un gran despliegue de estas sobre todo a través de la animación de sus ojos.

   Ganar la libertad

   El paralelo con la realidad humana es muy obvio en esta película y por eso fácilmente puede resonar con fuerza en cualquiera.

   La historia de la humanidad ha sido y aún es la historia de un grupo de personas libres o que quieren serlo contra el grupo de los esclavistas o que quieren serlo; entre los pacíficos que sólo quieren vivir y dejar vivir contra los que quieren vivir e imponer su vivir a los demás por la fuerza.

   Spirit es un ser libre, un caballo que narra su historia como un humano aunque su animación es perfectamente caballuna (gran animación de Dreamworks). Con él vemos cómo su feliz vida en libertad con su familia y amigos es arrebatada por distintos grupos a los que él resistirá con todas sus fuerzas, lo que incluso inspira a los caballos que ya se habían rendido. Vemos también cómo no quiere cambiar de unos amos más violentos a unos más amables como es cambiar de ser caballo de los militares a ser caballo de los indios, algo que sí aceptan otros caballos a los que Spirit ayudó a liberar. No quiere una servidumbre tranquila, sino la libertad a la intemperie, aunque él mismo tenga que enfrentarse a un león para defender a su manada.

   [Canción (fragmento): Nadie me va a dominar]
   
   Ya nadie me va dominar
   Yo voy a pelear
   No me rendiré nunca yo me rendiré, no
   
   Atrapado estoy pero no me montarán
   Jamás lo verán
   No me rendiré nunca yo me rendiré, no
   
   Mi libertad buscaré

   
   Por otro lado, en los humanos hay dos principales: el coronel, y el indio Pequeño Arroyo: ambos intentan domar a Spirit, el segundo sin métodos violentos (por lo que también Spirit le responde con menos violencia que a los militares), pero sin dejarlo irse igualmente, al principio, hasta que entiende que no dejará que nadie lo monte y entonces lo deja ir, pero justo luego es cuando el poblado atacado y por Spirit ayudar a Lluvia, la yegua de Pequeño Arroyo, es recapturado. Tras eso, por primera vez Spirit se siente completamente devastado mientras lo trasladan en tren, pero entonces recuerda a su hogar y su manada:
   
   

   [Canción: Suenen el clarín]
   
   Suenen el clarín
   Solo para mi
   El tiempo pasa
   Recuerden como era yo
   No puedo seguir
   Fuerzas ya no hay
   Solo tengo ya
   Vacío el corazón
   
   Me han herido
   Tanto que ya no puedo luchar
   No hay nada que desear
   Déjenme ya
   Mejor morir aquí
   
   Suenen el clarín
   Nada importa ya
   No hay camino que
   Seguir para poder huir
   Sin una luz sé
   Sé que pronto caeré en la oscuridad
   Decidido ya esta
   Quedarme aquí
   
   Pero allá
   lejos en la distancia
   oigo una voz que dice
   no pierdas tu valor
   
   Si te rindes tú
   no habrá ya quien te salve
   cobra fuerza hoy
   recobra tu valor
   
   Sí, siempre hay que luchar
   entrar en la batalla
   y ser libre al fin
   más vale luchar.
   

   
   

   Tras la recaptura de Spirit, sin embargo, Pequeño Arroyo, tras que el caballo le salvó la vida de un soldado, va a buscarlo para devolverle el favor y finalmente lográ su cometido salvando a Spirit de un incendio que él mismo había terminado provocando al huir de sus últimos captores, tras lo cual, ante la última caza que le realizan a Spirit y Pequeño Arroyo el coronel y sus hombres, Spirit lo deja montarlo alegremente.

   Finalmente, tanto Pequeño Arroyo como el coronel, ante la persistencia conmovedora de Spirit, lo admiran y respetan y Spirit gana su libertad: ante los opresores en la que quizá sea una batalla eterna, la libertad no se obtiene porque te la den, sino que se la gana y se la defiende contra ellos.

   Spirit: "Nunca olvidaré a ese joven y cómo recuperamos juntos nuestra libertad"

   Spirit regresa entonces con su manada, acompañado por LLuvia.
