Summary: Wow!! Great movie!
Review: This is my all time favorite horse movie! Even if you don't like horses you'll like this movie its truly beautiful! The scenery is beautiful,and the air fighting they use is very impressive. It is a story about a brumby stallion who is hunted ( not to eat ) by men season after season. He manages to out smart and out run the man for a while but then he falls in love with the mans palomino mare and steals her away from the man and one thing leads to another. Great movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat!

Summary: Haunting movie
Review: Everything about this movie is captivating and haunting. The beautiful stallion, the scenery, and the soundtrack. The movie tells the story of Elyne Mitchell and her daughter Indi. Elyne is writing a story called The Silver Brumby. Indi reads the story and falls in love with the silver brumby.Thowra means "wind" in the Aboriginee tongue. It's an appropriate name, as Thowra seems to have a mythical bond with the elements and can summon them to his aid when needed. I was disappointed that he only did this twice in the movie. However, it was cool when he did. The movie's soundtrack is haunting and beautiful, using a distinctly Australian sound and chanting Thowra's name softly in the background. I don't know if they used a flute or a recorder, but there's a beautiful woodwind sound to the theme. Tiddas did a great job singing "Son of the Wind" at the end. I would love to find this soundtrack on CD. My only disappointment is this movie is available only on VHS. I would love to see it released on DVD in the anamorphic format with digital sound available. Other than that, this is a great movie.

Summary: Russell and Horses Horses Horses...
Review: Horses, horses, horses and Russell Crowe!! It's enough to make a-not-so-grownup women swoon. Yes! I admit it. I bought it for Russell. But as a horesewomen, I fell in love with horses all over again. They were magnificent! ...and so was the country. ...and then of course Russell Crowe. His passion shows even in this quiet role... his riding was exhilarating (though a little sloppy with the lower leg)... he exhibits a wonderful rapport with animals... he brings Clarity and depth to his character (even Thirty Odd Foot away)... sorry Russell I couldn't resist. This is a great story, beautifully filmed...the pace is perfect... better than Black Beauty... oh such sacrilege!! but you see this has Russell Crowe.

Summary: The silver Brumby!
Review: I love this movie on The Silver Stallion: King of the Wild Brumbies and this is a good movie. They are kind of simular like to National Velvet, Black Beauty & The Black Stallion before him, & The Silver Stallion gallops into the movie lore and into our hearts. The silver Brumby is a good palomino horse ever. Brian Jock Mitchell (Johnny Raaen) a cowboy on his black horse who carried a lasso incase he wanted to rope a calf and he rescued a calf out of the mud. This video reminds me of The Horse Whisperer by Robert Redford & Monty Roberts: A Real Horse Whisperer. This is a great and good movie and I loved it?

Summary: Good kids film for all ages! Magnificent horses!
Review: Lovely visuals, tight story. Not patronizing, on the contrary quite entertaining.
Russell Crowe is, as usual, exceedingly good in an almost silent role.

Summary: THE BEST....AND SADDEST MOVIE EVER!!!
Review: If you are a horse-lover you must have this movie! It is the BEST, I got it about three years ago and EVERY *yes, every* time i watch it, I always cry in the end. It is the saddest movie ever, I was bawling my eyes out.....and still do. One time I started TALKING about the movie to someone else and I started crying...so you get the point, its very sad, but EXTREMELY good. The horses are gorgeous, esp. Thowra. I gaurantee you will adore paliminos after seeing this, I also gaurantee that by the end you will want to strangle the "man", which continously hunts Thowra. *No offense to the actor, of course!!!* SO GO ON, BUY IT NOW.......why are you still reading this...your supposed to be out buying it NOW! shoo, shoo, GO!

Summary: The Silver Stallion
Review: I purchased this video so I would have a good movie for my grandchildren to watch. So far so good. The response from them (ages 10 & 7) is that they sat still through the whole movie and really enjoyed it. This movie is the winner of a 1994 parents choice award. Excellent for young people and it doesn't hurt that Russell Crowe is in it. You get to watch the talented Russell Crowe ride his horse - and it was him - not a double. He is so versatile. Excellent storyline too. This is a must for your video collections.

Summary: obsession
Review: Man sees what he wants and goes after it-- regardless of anything else. For every action there is a reaction. The horse wants to remain free because it is in its nature and upbringing to remain so. Man's nature tells him he has to have this horse. He wants it and he will get it at whatever cost.
The horse - driven beyond its endurance - would rather die than not be free. Noble for the horse. Maybe even honorable. tragic? Yes because the horse dies. And yes because the man is left without the prize.

Summary: For Kids and Horse Lovers Only
Review: Sensitive, sweet, child-like, expansive, and mind-numbingly boring to anyone over 12 who happens to be indifferent to horses. My four year old niece might like it.

Summary: Not Just Russell (But LOTS of Him, Too)
Review: No Russell Crowe collection is complete without this charming film aimed towards children. The tale of a brave wild horse fighting humans and his own kind for a place in the world is both familiar and new. The equestrian photography especially is nothing short of breathtaking, and the lush scenery gives a view of Australia most of us never knew existed. Although Russell's part must be considered "featured" as opposed to "lead," he makes the most of it, giving his villain-in-spite-of-himself just the right amount of dogged blindness and sly charm. And the man has never been quite so beautiful as in this film. He seems to glow from within, as if every moment of the shoot were a joy.
