The following is Narration is from the Film Flicka...... I so loved it and i thought i would share it with you.This film is actually taken from a Novel called "My Friend Flicka" by "Mary O'Hara".Here is how it goes - (narrated by a 15 year old girl)
"I live on the top of the world.In the never summer mountains of Wyoming.8000 ft closer to the sky.In my mountains, when the Spring comes to save me from a Perpetual Winter,the World comes to Life again.And i remember what it is i am here for.I am the only daughter in a long line of Ranchers.When we let our horses out for the first time in the Spring,i love to watch them rediscover the world,i can see in them, an expression of my own restless spirit.Charged with an appetite for adventure, they take to the land without hesitation.They are PURE POWER.When i see them running wild and free, i often think of the first horses and how they were the true pioneers of America.................................."
The movie begins with the above narration....... and ends with the following.
".................................I believe there is a Force in thie world which lives beneath the surface.Something primative and wild that awakens when you need an extra push just to survive,like wild flowers that bloom after fire turns the forest black.Most people are affriad of it, and keep it inside themselves.But there will always be a few people who have the courage to love what is untained inside us.One of those men is my father.There is once a time when americans came west to discover their destiny,today they seem to move around everywhich where restless and unsettled.But i think they are still looking for the same thing.A place which makes them feel optimistic about the furture,a place that helps them be what they want to be,so they can feel that this life makes sense,the place where they can feel,what i feel when i'm riding Flicka.Because when we are riding, all i feel is...... FREE."
By the way, Flicka means "Young Innocent Girl" in Swedish.
