Hidalgo - a review

"Hildago"is the story of a man, his horse and the American spirit. The movie is set in the middle east and is about a 3000 mile race for money and the rights of a bloodline to fabled Arabic horses, but Hildago is really about an American and how he finds his American Indian heritage.

It's a feelgood movie that tells of the misunderstandings between cultures and their differing views of the world. Viggio Mortensen plays Frank T Hopkins, a cowboy competing with his mixed blood horse against tough competition. Whilst Omar Sharif plays the shiek who is fond of American cowboy stories. T he acting in this movie is okay. If you want to enjoy a good story and have 2 hours to be entertained, go see this movie.

The scenes filmed in the desert were amazing, you actually felt like you were caught up in a sandstorm and in one scene, Frank is forced to eat locusts to survive, Besides the elements, the main adversary in this film is an English born women who tries to seduce Frank and attempts to steal the Shieks stallion. Jazira, the Shieks daughter, played by Zuleikha Robinson, is a girl trying to be a man in Arabic society and helps Frank with the race. In the end Frank calls on his Indian ancestors to get him over the final hurtle to finish the race. The last scene shows the Army getting ready to slaughter thousands of mixed breed horses, when Frank shows up with a bill of sale to free the horses.

This movie is about the free spirit of the American Indian and the changes brought about at the end of the 19th century.It was a typical movie for underdog lovers and did not waste my $8.00 to see this film. By the way, Viggio Mortensen bought the horse that played "Hidalgo".
