What the speakers say drew on it, marked the same way.

War Horse: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. craft (visual allusion): The Searchers ⇒ War Horse (the host's read). A red John Ford sunset is a harbinger of doom, as in The Searchers, so War Horse's ending is a what-comes-next finale.
    “I mean, you see that sunset in the searchers right before everyone's massacred.”
