I was having a pretty in-depth discussion with my esteemed colleague brubbs, and we decided that black beauty, the movie is really a sham. i haven’t actually seen the movie, but based on what i read about it on the back of the cover, and the liner notes in the novel, i’ve come to the conclusion that it has underlying messages of racism and possibly corrupt bureaucracy. i mean, really, a story about a black horse being tamed and then owned for racing purposes sounds a lot like slavery to me. correct me if im wrong, but is this not a valid statement? actually, don’t correct me, cuz i dont care. you’re probably a hippie, or you just smell funny, and i can’t take anyone seriously if they smell weird. its like eating a burger that tastes like chicken. i dont trust it.
ok, so this horse is black, and it goes around running and jumping and all sorts of wild adventurous type stuff, and then out of nowhere some people are all like “hey, maybe we’ll see how we can exploit this miracle of nature and profit from it.” this probably isn’t the premise of the film, but im going on rumour and speculation. this horse doesn’t know better, and is taught a bunch of garbage it doesnt necessarily buy into, but hasn’t got a choice in the matter for its livelihood relies on some jackasses that don’t care about its best interest, only a bunch of these -> $$$ in their pockets.
put yourself into this horses’ situation. if you just wanted to frolic and eat hay and make noises like ‘nayyyy, and mooo’ all day long and gallop around picking up hot horse bitches and tugging on their ass mane trying to flirt, but then suddenly some guys are all in your face telling you to go hop over some logs they’ve placed strategically so that you may potentially fall flat on your face and ruin your jibs or break a leg for their amusement, i think you’d be some pissed off.
so, at the end of this movie, the horse dies from sexual and emotional exhaustion and its heartbreaking for a little girl who only ever wanted a pony. not a black one, but any one. its sad, cry.
do you know how difficult it is for a horse to jerk off? you try working your junk with hooves and some meta u-shaped shoes. you’ll turn that thing into swiss cheese, all grated and ruined. good luck picking up anyone.
i wanna write more and express how i really feel, but this story has made me sad, lethargic and a bit morose. i feel for everyone who’s seen this movie, and feels the same as i. be well black beauty, be well. know that you haven’t died in vain, you live on through the thoughts and memories you’ve instilled in people like me. sure, it doesn’t mean much in the traditional sense, but its better than being totally forgotten; get over yourself.
love darryl. one of your fans, not the biggest cuz i like good movies, but a respect what you did for horse in film everywhere.
