Flicka

Today, I watched a movie named “Flicka” – they say it means a pretty girl with innocence. I have to write about this review before anything else comes and for sure, I seen this kinda stuff after long time leaving my usual war type movies.. But This was GOOOD…

Flicka is the story of a Girl, daughter of a ranch owner. This young girl named Katy had seen a mustang in her childhood and became fond of her (mustang is a wild horse, a female one in the story), however the family won’t allow her to go close to the horse. As time passed by, Katy was sent to the college for few years and when she returns, this black horse was not there. Katy was an adventurous girl who liked the horses very much. One day she comes out from home in morning darkness , took a horse from their bunch and go out for a long ride. And far away she finds the same Mustang. From somewhere, a cougar approaches there, but the mustang runs her away. Katy used to think about the horses all the time and the ranch was a perfect place for her. Katy named her Flicka. Katy tried to get close to Flicka and tries to ride her but was thrown and got some injuries. Her father realized that it is time for some hard steps and he sent Flicka to someone who would use her commercially in games. This made Katie very upset. One day she visited a fair along with father, mother and borther and seen Flicka in the wild horse race. Katy managed to get in the wild horse race and went over Flicka to run away. The police and the family tried to search for them in the jungle. It was dark night and bad weather. Katy did not know where they have arrived. Suddenly they were attacked by the cougar. Cougar wound Flicka badly. When the family found them in the night, Katy was in a high fever and Flicka was beyond recovery. Looking at the condition of Flicka, Katy’s father decides to put down Flicka. But after getting Katy’s heartbroken approval, he instead goes in the jungle and shoots the cougar. Katy’s assumes that Flicka is down after hearing the gun shot. Katy wakes up next morning and her father gives her the surprise of bandaged but alive Flicka. This makes Katy very happy. Katy’s brother, who instead wanted to go to college, gets approval from father to go to the college and Katy stays back to take care of the ranch. The movie ends with the father and Katy sitting on their horses looking at the landscapes. The ending scene shows Katy on Flicka running in the vast green grounds…….

A place to be optimistic about the future..
The place that helps them to be what they wanna be …
That makes you feel that your life makes a sense…
The place where they can feel what I feel when I am riding Flicka..
Because when I ride, all I ride is…….
Freeing…..
