BUCK
“Your horse is a mirror to your soul, and sometimes
you may not like what you see. Sometimes, you will.”
So says Buck Brannaman, a true American cowboy and sage on horseback
who travels the country for nine grueling months a year helping
horses with people problems. Brannaman was the basis for the
character Tom Booker, the central figure in Nicholas Evans'
best-selling novel The
Horse Whisperer and
the film version, directed by Robert Redford. BUCK, a richly
textured and visually stunning film, follows Brannaman from his
abusive childhood to his phenomenally successful approach to horses.
A real-life “horse-whisperer”, he eschews the violence of his
upbringing and teaches people to communicate with their horses
through leadership and sensitivity, not punishment. Buck
possesses near magical abilities as he dramatically transforms
horses – and people – with his understanding, compassion and
respect. In this film, the animal-human relationship becomes a
metaphor for facing the daily challenges of life. A truly American
story about an unsung hero, BUCK is about an ordinary man who has
made an extraordinary life despite tremendous odds.
