AND, YOU KNOW, THE MOVIE DOES
HAVE A -- OBVIOUSLY A TRAGIC
COMPONENT BUT, YOU KNOW, I LOVE
THAT IT IS ABOUT HEROS.
IT IS ABOUT REAL HUMAN HEROS.
AND THERE ARE SO MANY STORIES
ABOUT PEOPLE TRYING TO, YOU
KNOW, SORT OF GET ONE OVER ON
ONE ANOTHER, BRING EACH OTHER
DOWN, AND THIS IS, I THINK, A
STORY ABOUT A GROUP OF PEOPLE
WHO REALLY TRIED TO LIFT EACH
OTHER UP AND SUPPORT ONE
ANOTHER, BRING OUT THE BEST IN
ONE ANOTHER.
ONE ANOTHER.

AMANDA, THE REAL AMANDA.

SUPPORT AND WITHOUT HER
COLLABORATION.

BOOTS.

YOU REALLY FEEL THEIR POWER AND STRENGTH WHEN YOU TRY AND GET A
HORSE LIKE THAT TO LAY DOWN IN A
VERY CONFINED SPACE.
IT WAS EXTRAORDINARY.
IT WAS WONDERFUL.

IT WAS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT IS
SUCH A BIG PART OF WHO AMANDA

HORSES.
