A truck hits them, Judith and her horse are killed, while Grace and her horse Pilgrim are seriously injured, both physically and mentally. In an attempt to bring Pilgrim back from his now savage condition, Grace's mother Annie takes them to Montana in search for Tom Booker. Tom is a "horse whisperer", a cowboy with the ability to "communicate" with horses. In the land of the Wild West Annie will change the way she sees life forever, as the wise cowboy slowly heals the souls of Pilgrim and Grace... |

Goofs

Continuity: When Tom Booker is teaching Grace MacLean to drive his truck, they open the doors to get in, and a cattle prod is sitting on the rear window gun rack. In the next shot the cattle prod has disappeared. Continuity: The time displayed on Annie's watch when she says goodbye to Tom. Continuity: In some scenes, the horse Tom is trying to help has just a little white star on its forehead, in others it has a white blaze which covers most of the face. Continuity: When Booker first goes to see the horse at the hotel and it runs out of the barn it has a big white blaze that covers most of the face, but in subsequent shots it has only a small star on the forehead. Continuity: When Tom is teaching Grace to drive his truck, there is a roll of wire in the back of the truck. When she punches the accelerator, the wire wobbles. In the next shot, the wire is gone. When they reach their destination in the field, the wire is in the back of the truck again. Continuity: Gulliver's protective bandaging changes from red to white (when he rears up). The bandages disappear when he breaks his ankle and slides down the bank but are present in the next shot. Continuity: The black horse, Gulliver, is seen stumbling and falling to his knees. In the next continious shot, he is back on his feet, although we didnt see him rise. Continuity: Briefly, we see the legs of Pilgrim sliding down the bank ahead of the other horse but it is the other horse who reaches the road first. Also Pilgrim alternates between standing and lying as he slides down the bank. PLOT: Robert arrives at the ranch in a rental car, but needs a ride back to the airport. Continuity: When Tom goes the motel to see the horse, his hat changes styles between shots. Revealing mistakes: When Pilgrim is shown rearing up at the semi, a lunge whip can be seen in the shot flashing by his head. Continuity: When Tom is working on the horse outdoors, close-ups show a rope halter while wider shots show the horse wearing leather. Crew: As Pilgrim rears up when Liz the vet approaches him in the tunnel, a whip is briefly seen in the lower right hand corner. Revealing mistakes: Booker is in the corral alone trying to "hook on" with Pilgrim. Just before he squats to remove the lasso from Pilgrim if you look under the horses neck you can see the lower half of a man dressed exactly the same as Booker. Continuity: When Grace first wakes up in the hospital there is a close-up of her face and a cloth or bandage can be seen on her forehead. On the revealing shot, there is nothing there and Annie is seen grabbing a cool cloth and placing it on Grace's forehead. Continuity: When Tom is sitting in the tall grass after being dunked in the creek, his shirt is dry, but later the shirt is wet again. GEOG: In an early scene, a phone call is placed from Manhattan to the suburbs. The audible touch-tone sequence is seven digits. Since the NYC metro area has many area codes, ten-digit dialing is mandatory there. Fact errors: When the girls go riding, at the start of the film, it is cold enough to snow yet their breath is not visible. Continuity: When Grace is watching the show jumping, the commentator says "Pilgrim moves with absolute confidence at the command of Ms. McLean." This makes it clear that it is Grace and Pilgrim jumping. However, the Pilgrim on the TV is a bay with a white blaze. The Pilgrim throughout the film is chestnut with a small white star. Continuity: When Gulliver falls, it is clear that he damages his fetlock (ankle) badly. Once he is on the road his fetlock seems to be fine. Continuity: There is inconsistency with the mud covering Pilgrim throughout the movie. Even though he has been almost submerged in water on the ranch at least twice, the mud covering him is present, then it disappears, and is back again, as if the horse never was exposed to any water at all. Continuity: In the scene where Anne and Tom first ride the horses together, Anne's hat varies from being on her head (with the obvious stunt double) to not on her head when they showed the closeups of her face. At the speed of the gallop, it is unlikely to be explained by her constantly putting it back on and in the final still of that scene, her hat is on again, and the hat strap is clearly in place to prevent the hat from falling back. Fact errors: Although the opening scenes are set in winter, Pilgrim has a light summer coat which is impossible at that time of year. In reality the scenes were filmed in May. |
Quotes

Tom Booker: Somestimes what seems like surrender isn't surrender at all. It's about what's going on in our hearts. About seeing clearly the way life is and accepting it and being true to it, whatever the pain, because the pain of not being true to it is far, far greater. Tom Booker: I didn't know that it was right to love her. I just loved her. Grace: Are you afraid of anything, Tom Booker? Tom Booker: Of growing old. Being of no use. [Upon having her leg amputated] Grace: Who's going to want me now? Annie: I've heard you help people with horse problems. Tom Booker: Truth is, I help horses with people problems. Tom Booker: Knowing is the easy part; saying it out loud is the hard part. Robert: How are you doing out there in Marlboro country? Tom Booker: There was a boy from the Blackfeet reservation, he used to do some work around here for a while. Sixteen, strong kid, good kid. He and I were really, really good friends. One day he went swimming and dove headfirst into the lake... and right into a rock. And it snapped his neck, paralyzed him. And after the accident I'd look in on him from time to time. But he wasn't there. It was like his mind, his spirit, whatever you want to call it, just disappeared. The only thing left was just anger. Just sort of as if the... the boy I once knew just went somewhere else. Grace: I know where he goes. Tom Booker: I know you do. Don't you disappear. [Tom walks up to Annie with two horses] Annie: The answer is 'no'. Tom Booker: I haven't even asked you the question yet! Robert: Judith's dead. Annie: And what about Grace? Robert: She's in pretty bad shape. [first lines] Judith: [waves] Hello! Grace: [waves] Hello! Annie: I haven't ridden Western before. Tom Booker: Yeah. But he doesn't know that. Just sit the horse. |
