Since the 1960s, Redford has been a significant presence in Hollywood.
The Horse Whispererfollows a young girl named Grace who gets into a traumatic accident with her horse.
Over time, Grace begins to recover while Annie and Tom grow closer.
It seems as though Annie could leave behind her workaholic lifestyle and boring husband for Tom.
The same can be said for the love story between Tom and Annie.
Though they come from two different worlds, they are undeniably drawn to each other.
The door opens for Annie to take on a completely different (and arguably better) life.
Yet, Annie doesn’t take this opportunity.
If Tom and Annie had their happily ever after, the movie would end on a high note.
The Redford movie isn’t concerned with gunslinging cowboys or violent crimes.
Instead,The Horse Whispererdraws on the more emotional and thoughtful side of the Western genre.
In general,Westerns likeThe Horse Whispererdeserve a lot more praise.
Arguably, this makes the movies all the more relatable.
All in all,The Horse Whispererfumbled its ending, but it is still a worthwhileWestern.
