It is RARE that an adult film maker can truly make a film through a child's eyes. Carroll Ballard does it exquisitely in "The Black Stallion." I read the book as a child and loved it. As an adult, my view point has shifted and the book no longer holds much interest for me. The film amazingly re-captured the awe I felt as a child - no small feat, considering what a jaded old thing I've become... Repeat viewings retain the magic. Bravo.
