War Horse is one of the greatest films ever made and Steven Spielberg is the greatest director ever!!! Ever since that, she had one constant request for her father – to make a movie about horses. Many years ago, when she was a little child, Destry Spielberg watched a movie called ‘Black Stallion’ with her father. Among many competitions, she participated in the Kentucky Summer Horse Show in 2010 and the Longines Masters in Los Angeles among others. And a horse lover from an even younger age. How Steven Spielberg’s daughter was at the root of this film?ĭestry Spielberg, now 26 years old, has been a horse rider from a young age. The movie was born after Spielberg wanted to fulfill his daughter’s wish. The movie starred Jeremy Irvine in his debut performance and also had Loki-fame Tom Hiddleston and Doctor Strange-fame Benedict Cumberbatch in supporting roles. In 2011, Steven Spielberg made and released the film War Horse. Spielberg had two inspirations for making this film – his daughter Destry Spielberg’s love for horses as an equestrian, and Spielberg’s attempts to pay tribute to the millions of horses that perished during World War I. In 2011, the novel was made into a motion picture by the legendary Steven Spielberg.

In 1982, a novel by Michael Morpurgo recounted the story of Joey, a horse brought by the British Army for service in World War I, and 15-year-old owner Albert, who was trying to bring Joey home safely.
