The background on me is that I'm open minded to a fault. I honestly don't think what these men were doing with that horse was wrong. If the horse is aroused and doing the thrusting, well, I think the animal cruelty folks lose the argument right there.
I just wish there was a "move audience cruelty" organization to protect us from torture and inhuman treatment, because I do not know anyone who made it through this documentary without falling asleep or rushing out of the theater scratching at their own sin to relieve the boredom.
What should have been interesting, revealing, and provocative is boring. And slow. And uninteresting.
I do not want to pass judgment on those who seemed to like this film, but it seems to me that I would only recommend this film to someone who has consumed enough hallucinogens in their time to find rolling hills, burbling creeks, and whispered voice-overs entertaining.
I guess in reality I am saying see this if you want to see a filmmaker touch you emotionally while leaving your brain alone. Still, it amazes me that story of a man being blanked to death by horse could put me and everyone I know to sleep.
