Deliberate mistake: During the cavalry charges, swords are held at shoulder height as they would for charging enemy cavalry, not knee height for charging infantry. This was a deliberate decision in order to have the blades more visible.

Steven Spielberg's War Horse tells the story of an intelligent and spirited horse and the incredible bond that it shared with its first owner and their harrowing experiences before, during and after WW1. Remarkable acting by the human and animal cast, an impactful portrayal of the war and a touching about how the horse seems to inspire the best out of many who encounter him make this film well worth viewing.
