Buck horse whisperer biography of martin luther
Buck Brannaman, former MSU student and inspiration for the movie “The Horse Whisperer” returned to MSU to conduct a fundraiser and clinic.!
“Buck,” the story of the real horse whisperer Buck Brannaman, comes at you with the understated eloquence of the man himself — a soft-spoken cowboy philosopher changing lives as he gentles horses, an aw-shucks hero who never claims to be more than an ordinary man.
In her first documentary, which won the coveted audience award at the Sundance Film Festival this year, director Cindy Meehl mirrors that sensibility.
A real-life 'horse-whisperer', he eschews the violence of his upbringing and teaches people to communicate with their horses through leadership and sensitivity.
The film is deeply moving yet never maudlin in telling this hard-knocks-but-hope-infused story. It would have been tempting given the broad strokes of Brannaman’s life: a childhood marked by early stardom — he and his older brother were young trick-roping sensations — and vicious beatings at the hand of his father; the early death of his mother; the foster family that rescued him; and the safety and solace he found in horses.
Instead, Meehl allows the facts, simply told, to carry the weight.
The images — beautiful and evocative &md
