‘The Mustangs: America’s Wild Horses’ Review: A Documentary Salutes the Glory of Wild Horses. But Can They Survive?
当您看到一部关于美丽而令人叹为观止的动物的纪录片，而这部电影围绕着面临生存危机的物种建造，问题往往是人口减少的人之一。秃鹰曾经是那种生物（现在做得更好）。最近，人们一直担心非洲的大象人群大量减少。“野马：美国的野马”为我们提供了另一种难题。这是一部关于仍在美国西部野外漫游的马的友好，抒情和激动人心的纪录片 - 许多人甚至不知道这一现象。屡获殊荣的《纽约时报》记者戴维·菲利普斯（David Philipps）在电影中接受了采访，他说，当人们向他询问他2017年的著作《野马国家》时，其中90％的人惊讶地发现野马仍然存在。那是因为这些马看起来像是神话般的过去。而且，当然，它们看起来像是神话般的过去。文档Entary充满了野马的崇高和崇高的图像，所有不同的颜色（棕色，白色，灰色，黑色），在怀俄明州等地方的丰盛景观中疾驰而去，它们是一个奇妙的景象。首先，这听起来不像是无法克服的：有太多的野马。他们太多了。目前，估计是，如果您想知道为什么这是一个问题，这很简单：野马没有天然的掠食者，因此，当您独自留下时，他们的人口将会将近80,000匹居住在美国联邦土地上的野马倾向于每四到五年翻一番。但是，一旦野马人口达到临界量（可能是100,000至200,000，或30万），他们将消耗并用尽周围的所有自然资源（即他们所食用的植被），没有什么都没有左边。他们将开始死去。简单而可怕的。M和康拉德·斯坦利（Conrad Stanley）（与PMC的副主席格里·伯恩（Gerry Byrne）一起作为其咨询生产者），沐浴在一种诱人的浪漫主义中，讲述了美国过去和美国神话中野马占领的地方。我们看到第一批捕捉和骑着他们的旧画，这些人是美洲原住民。我们看到1800年代牛仔文化的绘画和照片。美国第一批定居者在羊群中遇到了野马，他们形容像海浪一样厚（将需要几个小时才能穿越它们）。这部电影向我们展示了野马的传奇是如何通过布法罗·比尔（Buffalo Bill）和角钱小说，广播和“孤独游侠”（The Lone Ranger）的海报图像栩栩如生的，这是一位骑着他救出的野马的英雄。那个孤独的游侠的标志性形象，他的白色踩在空中高高地踢到了前腿，象征着一个观察者，正如一个观察者所说，“仍然无法征服野马。但这将屈服于真实的人。”我们也看到了著名的C玛丽莲·梦露（Marilyn Monroe）的嘴唇站在沙漠平原上，泪流满面地试图阻止克拉克·盖布尔（Clark Gable）用“不合适”绑住野马。那部电影是在1961年制作的，到了野马人口达到10,000左右的那一刻。它一直在逐渐减少数十年，回到第一次世界大战后的那段时期，当时马突然不再需要运输。从20年代开始，美国的马市场崩溃了，马市场变成了狗粮，被Ken-L-Ration屠杀和包装，Ken-L-Ration被Rin Tin Tin推荐的品牌在他的所有广播节目中推荐。到60年代，野马被视为过去时代的遗物。他们被一个人拯救了：Velma Johnston，一位吸烟的秘书，被称为野马安妮，“野马运动的甘地”。她知道失去这些生物将是一件可怕的事情，因此她开始了一支十字军东征，这是由学校组织的儿童十字军东征。听起来不就像最强大的游说力量一样，但是为拯救野马而战的斗争吸引了年轻人的想象力。它最终达到了1971年狂野自由漫游马匹和伯罗斯法案的通过，这项法律使杀死野马成为联邦犯罪。尼克松总统接受了它，几乎每个国会的人也是如此。没有人满意。但是“野马”为解决野马人口问题的解决方案提供了解决方案。它在于用一种疫苗来飞镖，这种疫苗抑制受精，这项任务截至目前，这项任务落入了一支笨拙的志愿者团队，其中大多数是女性，她们在配备飞镖枪的平原上漫游，从40英尺外的小果酱中射击。 。飞镖没有伤害。但是他们控制了人口增长 - 对于这些动物而言，这已经成为必不可少的地方。Mes最动人，并带我们最接近野马的心，在伊利诺伊州布尔谷10英亩的野马行动中，在伊利诺伊州公牛谷的10英亩处野马。经营野马行动的吉姆·韦尔奇（Jim Welch）谈到了马匹能够康复的退伍军人，这些退伍军人正在与PTSD斗争，并在某些情况下还与自杀念头搏斗。他说：“野马可以看着你的灵魂。”并放松。我们看到越南和伊拉克的退伍军人骑马并与他们交流。片刻，我们几乎可以触摸马匹的治愈精神的威严。但是治疗性交流双向工作。影片中最令人困扰的评论来自一位资深人士，他说：“野马一直通过我们拥有的东西。”的确：马是战士和幸存者，勇敢的宁静被同情所感动。在“野马”中，他们是人类的耳语。
When you see a documentary about a beautiful and breathtaking animal, and the film is built around that species facing a crisis of survival, the problem tends to be one of dwindling population. The bald eagle was once that creature (it’s now doing much better). More recently, there has been concern over the vastly diminished population of elephants in Africa.
"The Mustangs: America’s Wild Horses" presents us with a different sort of conundrum. It’s a friendly, lyrical, and stirring documentary about the horses that still roam the Western wilds of the U.S. — a phenomenon a lot of people don’t even know about. David Philipps, the award-winning New York Times journalist, is interviewed in the film, and he says that when people ask him about his 2017 book "Wild Horse Country," 90 percent of them are surprised to learn that wild horses still exist. That’s because these horses seem like something from the mythic past. And, of course, they look like something from the mythic past. The documentary is full of sublime and reverent images of mustangs, all different colors (brown, white, gray, black), galloping through the hearty landscapes of places like Wyoming, where they’re a wondrous sight to behold.
Here's the problem — and at first, it doesn’t sound like an insurmountable one: There are too many mustangs. Far too many of them. Right now, the estimate is that there are close to 80,000 wild horses living on federal lands in the U.S. If you want to know why that’s a problem, it’s simple: Mustangs have no natural predators, so when left on their own, their population will tend to double every four to five years. But once the wild horse population reaches a critical mass (it could be 100,000 to 200,000, or maybe 300,000), they will consume and exhaust all the natural resources around them (i.e., the vegetation they feed on), and there’ll be nothing left. They will start to die out. Simple — and terrible — as that.
"The Mustangs," directed by Steven Latham and Conrad Stanley (with Gerry Byrne, the Vice-Chairman of PMC, as its consulting producer), is bathed in an alluring romanticism about the place occupied by mustangs in the American past and in American mythology. We see old paintings of the first people to capture and ride them, who were Native Americans. We see paintings and photographs of the cowboy culture of the 1800s. The first American settlers encountered mustangs in herds they described as being as thick as ocean waves (it would take hours to ride through them). And the film shows us how the legend of the wild horse came to life through poster images of Buffalo Bill and dime novels, radio and "The Lone Ranger" — a hero who rides a wild horse he rescued. That iconic image of the Lone Ranger, his white steed kicking its front legs high up into the air, symbolizes the idea that, as one observer puts it, "The wild horse still couldn’t be conquered. But it would submit to a person who was true of heart."
We also see the famous clip of Marilyn Monroe, standing on a desert plain, tearfully trying to stop Clark Gable from roping a wild horse in "The Misfits." That film was made in 1961, and it arrived at a moment when the wild horse population was down to around 10,000. It had been dwindling for decades, going back to the period after World War I, when the horses were suddenly no longer needed for transportation. Starting in the '20s, the horse market in the U.S. collapsed, and the horses were turned into dog food, slaughtered and packaged by Ken-L-Ration, a brand recommended by Rin Tin Tin on all his radio shows. By the '60s, the mustangs were regarded as relics of a bygone era.
They were saved by one individual: Velma Johnston, a chain-smoking secretary who became known as Wild Horse Annie, "the Gandhi of the wild horse movement." She knew it would be a terrible thing to lose these creatures, so she started a crusade, which became a children’s crusade, organized by schools. That might not sound like the most powerful of lobbying forces, but the fight to save the mustang caught the imagination of young people. It culminated in the passage of the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971, a law that made killing a wild horse a federal crime. President Nixon embraced it, and so did just about everyone in Congress.
Once that happened, though, the population growth of mustangs had to be contained, a job that fell to the Bureau of Land Management, which has struggled with the issue for decades, to no one’s satisfaction. But "The Mustangs" offers the beginning of a solution to the wild-horse population problem. It lies in darting them with a vaccine that inhibits fertilization, a task that falls, as of now, to a spunky team of volunteers, most of them women, who roam the plains equipped with dart guns, shooting at the fillies from 40 feet away. The darts do not hurt; but they control population growth — which, for these animals, has become essential.
Where "The Mustangs" becomes most moving, and takes us closest to the mustangs' hearts, is in the section devoted to Operation Wild Horse, located on 10 acres in Bull Valley, Ill., where a community of veterans and military families come together to experience the healing power of mustangs. Jim Welch, who runs Operation Wild Horse, talks about the horses' ability to rehabilitate veterans who are grappling with PTSD and, in some cases, wrestling with thoughts of suicide. "Mustangs," he says, "can look into your soul." And ease it. We see veterans of Vietnam and Iraq as they ride horses and commune with them; at moments, we can almost touch the majesty of the horses’ healing spirit. But the therapeutic communion works both ways. The most haunting comment in the film comes from a veteran who says, "Mustangs have been through what we have." It’s true:
