Equus (film)

  • ... that a few critics felt a more realistic portrayal of violence and horses in the 1977 film Equus lost some of the spirit— and even the reality— of the play?

Source: Roger Ebert gave the film two and a half stars, arguing the realism in actual horses and their blinding, "strangely enough, get in the way of the play's own reality' Roger Ebert, "Equus," Rogerebert.com, 9 November 1977, URL accessed 23 October 2016.; Welsh also felt the explicit blinding was "potentially repulsive," and "much of the spirit of the play is lost as a consequence." Thomas L. Erskine and James M. Welsh, Video Versions: Film Adaptations of Plays on Video, Greenwood Press, 2000, p. 112.

    • ALT1:... that the 1977 film Equus featured real horses rather than the masked men seen in the original play, but Roger Ebert said this was less real?

Source: Roger Ebert gave the film two and a half stars, arguing the realism in actual horses and their blinding, "strangely enough, get in the way of the play's own reality' Roger Ebert, "Equus," Rogerebert.com, 9 November 1977, URL accessed 23 October 2016.; In stage productions, the horses are portrayed by human actors, often muscular men wearing tribal-style masks. Richard Harland Smith , "Equus (1977)," Turner Classic Movies, URL accessed 24 October 2016.
