Sex & Nudity
-
- Indians shown shirtless.
- Spirit kicks the blacksmith in the butt, the camera pans to his butt, then after Spirit kicks him, it shows a hoofprint on his butt.
- At the beginning of the film, there is a brief scene where Spirit is given birth by his mother. Nothing too bad.
- None. This is a G-rated picture.
- in one scene though, a man dreaming of a woman says her name before unknowingly kissing a horse on the lips, the other humans act distasteful at the scene. he then wakes up and panics afterwards. This is intended to be humorous.
Violence & Gore
-
- A train being pulled uphill by horses has it's chains derailed and it rolls down the hill destroying the structures with explosions and setting the forest on fire. This scene is intense.
- We see a montage of men who try to break Spirit (by riding him) and see the horse throwing them about. He head-butts one backwards (rearing his head back to hit the rider) and throws another rider who lands on another man. None of the men, however, appear to be hurt.
- A group of soldiers shoot at a Native American, but miss. During a subsequent horseback chase several soldiers are knocked off their horses.
Profanity
-
- None. This is a G-rated picture.
- Cinemax content advisory for this movie: rated G for mild violence (MV)
- There is an incomplete "Son of a..." When Spirit runs past two riders, a "What the hell?" is heard, but only quietly.
- in one scene there is an almost inaudible word, but it sounds at best like Jesus Christ, or Christ.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- We see a half empty bottle of what's presumably liquor of some sort lying on its side next to a sleeping man. Spirit drinks some, and is disgusted by it.
- The Colonel smokes a cigar prior to riding Spirit.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The scene where the train rolls down the hill destroying everything in it's path and exploding, causing a forest fire, may be intense.
- There are scenes of horses in difficulty.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- A Native American village is attacked by soldiers. There is some (mostly offscreen) combat and gunplay. A horse is shot and falls in a river, there is no blood but it appears to be dying, but it turns up alive at the end of the movie.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- Horses are constantly in distress during most of the film. Horses almost drown, a horse almost gets burnt alive in a forest-fire, almost being crushed by a train, almost being killed by fire-arms, being punished heavily without food and water for days, being dragged by ropes and chains. Being tied up, being held in captivity. Being forced to make an almost impossible jump. It all ends well, but there are many very close brushes with death.
- A big theme in the movie is freedom, which is constantly being taken away. A horse is being captured by humans and escaping over and again. It's being made very clear that the horse very much wants to be free, and its spirit is almost broken when it is again taken by humans.
