Compare Prices on The Black Stallion
Growing up, I was a salubrious horse-freak, and considered myself a connoisseur of all-things-horse, especially movies. The Shaded Stallion has always been one of my favorites.
Of course, it doesn’t injure any movie to be executive-produced by Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather I,II,III) . But what really shines through in this film is the splendid cinematography and camera work, and the acting by Cass Ole (”The Dark”), Kelly Reno (Alec) and of course, Mickey Rooney, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor.
This film really captures the mood and feeling of the first “Shadowy Stallion” book. There is virtually no dialogue for a marvelous section of the film, and it is not missed. The on-screen relationship between Alec and The Dim is one that could not be expressed in words under any circumstances.

When I first received this DVD, I achieve it in to look it with my father on Christmas night a few years ago. During the island scenes between Alec and The Dark, I stifled tears; the scenes - the photography is that glowing.
I was enthralled by this movie as a 13-year-old girl with a passion for horses, and I feel the same arrangement as a 36-year-old.
Buy this DVD for your children, or retract this DVD for you, but consume this DVD. It will snappy become a approved!
It is with large pleasure I can sing you that I have sat through nearly every horse movie ever made - and that “The Shaded Stallion” is quiet the best one I have ever seen.

Every aspect of the film is superlative; the casting, the acting, the adaptation to screenplay, the music, the sounds, the editing, the characterization and most especially, the cinematography. But the exact genius of the film lies in director Carroll Ballard’s stunning ability to render his main character, namely the murky stallion himself, on the camouflage.
Since I have experience with horses I am obviously very aware of how films consume their equine actors. Errors are immediately apparent. This film does not have any. Every time a horse is onscreen, characterization in action and expression is perfect.

Credit, of course, goes to trainer Corky Randall, and also to the decision to cast Kelly Reno and Mickey Rooney, horsemen themselves, into the human roles.
Tremendous credit also goes out to the filmmakers for making the concern to come by animals who would fit the role so well - sincere dim arabian stallions. Most would not have gone to the anguish, preferring to work with geldings, or with any breed of horse with the vital color and training to develop the role. Impartial inspect to other valuable horse films, like Dusky Beauty, The Horse Whisperer and SeaBiscuit, to peep how the horse is changed to fit the film.
One of the best examples of the film’s genius with the horses is the scene in which Alec and “The Dusky” first become friends. The film shows the stallion who played that share of the scene retreating each time the boy walks toward him, then advancing each time he walks away. By degrees of reach and retreat is Alec finally able to gather stop to the horse.
Such behavior mimics a horse’s natural response perfectly. But it is not simply how it was it was choreographed; it is how the horse plays the section. The animal does not tamely gallop forward and backwards - he displays a spirit and impatience of a gorgeously trained animal being do through a difficult series of steps; suited but with noteworthy character. On film, this highly charged personality mimics perfectly the terror and enrage of a wild stallion trying to cope with coming conclude to a being he regards with suspicion.
Trivia for those interested; Cass-Ole, the stallion to whom lead credit was given, actually had 4 white socks and the star. In the halt shots, you can scrutinize the white under the makeup. It was Cass Ole and Kelly Reno who did most accurate scenes, such as galloping without bridle and saddle down the beach. Most films consume doubles for such scenes.
Fae-Jur, the main double, was also a unlit stallion; it is rumored he was not even a fair dim, but a grey who had to be dyed extensively to play the role. He is said to have done many of the “wild” scenes, when no rider was required.
The film gets my highest recommendation for both adults and children. Some may be frustrated by the artistic slant of the narrative - it rolls past like a dream, especially the island sequences. Children who have read the book may be disappointed by any changes they behold in the yarn. But the film is a a masterpiece of storytelling - for children or otherwise.
