Title pretty much gives away the plot

For those of you who were not privileged to my Twitter-spewing this evening, I watched War Horse.  I'm not generally a fan of either war movies or horse movies (never did go through the "I want a pony" phase as a child), so I knew going in that it wasn't going to be my cup of tea, but it was entertaining enough.  Pretty much what you'd expect from a big-budget, Oscar bait movie.  But did anyone else notice...

( Big, fat spoilers )

Love the pointy German helmets, though.  Perhaps a touch impractical, but an effective way of saying "don't piss me off or I will skewer you, rhinoceros-style, with my hat."
