The film centres around a wild stallion which grows up to become the leader of its herd.One day curiosity leads him to examine the camp of a group of cowboys who capture him and take him to be tamed as a military horse.Refusing to be broken he crosses paths with an imprisoned Indian boy who helps him to escape.Spirit is then taken on a journey across the western frontier,along the way discovering the Indian world and meeting a female mustang.Forced to run for his life,the life of his new Indian friend and to keep his homeland safe,Spirit takes on impossible odds to once again run free.
First time directors Lorna Cook and Kelly Asbury had all of the right ingredients and made them into a beautiful film.However,they failed to notice that they had the potential to make something amazing.
Firstly,the film is great as it is.On the surface it works well for its intended audience and for those expecting a bit more it has something original.The main reason for this is that the animals in the film don't talk.Matt Damon voices the narration from Spirits point of view at strategic moments in the film,but Spirit the horse never speaks.All of his emotions are shown through music and his themed expressions.Mostly,however,it is the soundtrack which creates the great atmosphere.Bryan Adams provides the key songs to reflect on the story of the film,but Hans Zimmer provides an amazing score which works equally well,if not better.Either way,both do an excellent job,all of the music is amazing and can be listened to over and over many times.
The story is good,its not great,but it works and covers the ground that it needs to.John Fusco,whose back catalogue reads very plainly as a western orientated writer,develops the script well and knows where he wants the film to go.However,this is where the films problem begins and is the reason that the film is not better.Its themes aren't varied enough.The themes of freedom,love and the true hero of the west are the strongest ones but the one which is only kept at one level is that of the unbridled west.Basically,Spirit is so called because he is supposed to be an embodiment of the spirit of the western film,the Wild West in general as well but the western in film is clearer.The idea being that the countless number of times people have killed the western as a genre and successfully argued that the western is dead are a dime a dozen,but the 'Spirit' of the western a genre can never be killed,it will always live on and Spirit's relentless attitude is reflective of that.It is especially reflective during the scene with the train,as Spirit has ultimately decided to give in and admit defeat but as soon as he sees that classic western shot of the landscape he realises that he must fight on.In reality this happened recently,in the 80s the western was almost completely out of production but in the early 90s,with films such as Clint Eastwoods 'Unforgiven,' which showed the real west in a whole new way.Since then westerns have been produced more prominently.
The western still lives on and films like Spirit:Stallion of the Cimarron are the reason why!The reason Spirit deserves a lot more credit than it got is that it brought the west to a new audience and in a new way.The horses are an essential part of the western (in fact i doubt that there is a western that doesn't feature them).The reason,if any,that the westerns died out is because it exhausted itself and audiences got bored of the same old thing.What makes Spirit different from usual westerns is that it has a new story,from a new perspective and for a new audience,which if the western is to come back,is what it needs to do.
All of the right archetypes are featured in this film,we have the mythical lone hero vs the encroachment of civilisation,the cowboys,the Indians,the romance,the action and adventure set against the backdrop of the unchanging background.The main difference is obviously that of the cowboy being the villainous entity of the film,destroying the beauty of the real west with modern civilisation.Which isn't wrong!The horses and the Indians were there first,but the Cowboys came and took them over,this is the difference between that of the mythical heroic cowboy and that of the real one.Which is what Spirit successfully captures.
There is so much more I could talk about,but i won't.I will simply end by saying that this essential animated western is worth watching.It gives the classic west a modern make over that is often tried but rarely works.Every time I watch this film I am captured and am blown away by the real beauty of the wild west.
