The movie War Horse, by Stephen Spielberg, was based on the book by Michael Morpurgo. Michael Morpurgo got his idea from a painting -
'In the old school they use now for the village hall hangs a small dusty painting of a horse. He stands, a splendid red bay with a remarkable white cross emblazoned on his foreheard and with four perfectly matched white socks. He looks wistfully out of the picture, his ears pricked forward, his head turned as if he has just noticed us standing. To many who glance casually, it is merely a tarnished old oil painting of some unknown horse by a competent but anonymous artist. But those who look more closely will see in fading black copperplate writing across the bottom of the bronze frame, "Joe, painted by Captain James Nichols, Autumn 1914."'
So, technically, Captain James Nichols, played by Tom Hiddleston in the film, existed. And so did Joey. But everything else, about Albert and Topthorn (Joey's friend horse), was fiction. Or was it?
