All The Pretty Horses (2000) | Review
HELL ON EARTH
David Bruce, Webmaster The film is a profound look at life as it often is. The story opens with two friends, John Grady Cole and Lacey Rawlins, peacfully resting in the grass. Life for them is like heaven.
A few scenes later John looks out over his family's Texas ranch, and says, "This is Heaven on earth." As he says this he picks up a sun bleached skull of a cow. This sets the tone for the rest of the film. John's mother sells the ranch where he has spent his entire life. The world takes then takes an ugly turn for the boys. Heaven fades. And life becomes a living Hell. Everything changes. Copyright © 2000 Hollywood Jesus. All rights reserved.
