Product Description
BUCK, a richly textured and visually stunning film, follows Buck Brannaman from his abusive childhood to his phenomenally successful approach to horses. A real-life horse-whisperer, he eschews the violence of his upbringing and teaches people to communicate with their horses through leadership and sensitivity, not punishment. Buck possesses near magical abilities as he dramatically transforms horses - and people - with his understanding, compassion and respect. A truly American story about an unsung hero and one of the most successful documentaries of the year, BUCK is about an ordinary man who has made an extraordinary life despite tremendous odds.

The two photos illustrate Buck's humor I very much appreciated. (That's a maroon apron by the way ;)
Thank you, Buck!

Thank you, Buck!
Buck's journey is one of overcoming a cruel and abusive father to make the choice of what kind of man he would become. His sensitivity extended to the horses he would work and use in his life. Exposure to great mentors and a real desire to observe and learn from not only mentors but the horses themselves, brought him to see horses as needing what they require in life. He was fortunate to have been rescued and raised by good people who restored him and set him on the good path.
I admire the role of "go between" that Buck has chosen in life. He has chosen to make life better for the horse that is so often not understood and misused. The movie shows what is possible between human and horse in the way of a working relationship that is based on respect, empathy, patience, understanding and trust. The scenes from the clinics that brings Buck's knowledge to horse owners that are having issues or wanting better communication with their horse, were chosen to help illustrate that it is often horses having problems with people rather than people having problems with horses.
Being a horse person myself, I can tell you that most people can't understand that any problem they might have with a horse is because of lack of understanding on their part...not the horse's part. As Buck states:
"All your horses are a mirror to your soul; and sometimes, you might not like what you see in the mirror. You can't hold it against him for how his life has been. Maybe there are some things for you to learn about you; and, maybe the horse is going to be the only damn way you're gonna learn it."
The movie has powerful illustrations of this to make this film important to not just horse persons. The choices we make in life are our own...choose wisely. Scenery, music, Buck's quiet manner in telling his story and communicating with people and animals make for seeing the value and wisdom in this story.

è istruttivo e ben costruito, l'unica pecca è che è soltanto in lingua originale (inglese) e non c'è possibilità di sottotitoli o variazione lingua
How he survived and later thrived was through his relationship with horses and with it he has learned their needs - i.e. encouragement not discouragement. There's much about horse craft too of course - and delightfully entertaining - he has a tremendous skill and makes it look easy.
It's a wonderfully told story about what is an especially inspirational man. His general modesty sees him shy away from talking about himself and it is others who extol his virtues (and his childhood problems). Don't be over concerned, however, nobody dwells on his early problems for long - it's a very positive story about a very positive individual .
I hope you enjoy it.
