Two Thumb's Up for "Buck"

It must be movie-watching week or something around my house. Both of us have had full work days and felt too tired to do much besides watch flicks at night while our daughter escapes to create music.

This evening we watched "Buck." It's about the master horseman who inspired "The Horse Whisperer," including an interview with Robert Redford and footage from the film he starred in. "Buck" won Sundance’s Audience Award for Best Documentary. Despite Buck’s tragic childhood, he demonstrates that grace triumphs over rage. Apparently how one treats a horse tells a lot about how he or she treats other humans.
