Bite the Bullet (1975)
A story of heart, bravery and animal rights
Bite the Bullet includes poignant performances by a charismatic Gene Hackman, a totally hot Candice Brgman, a cavalier James Coburn and a young, angry Jan Michael Vincent. This is my favorite movie! The cinematography is intoxicating. A collexion of amazing horses of every color and conformation galloping, racing, leaping across the rugged California desert for hours! A portrait of human greed pitted against animal rights and compassion. The heroes in this movie are dark and the villains are sad. The backdrop for the unfolding drama is a 700 mile endurance horse race, but within this is framework is explored war, desperation, prostitution, rape, death, heroin overdose, greed, betrayal, trains, selflessness, heroism, friendship, the human/animal bond and good 'ol triumph of the spirit. But most of all pretty, pretty horses.
