That's nice that the Duchess of Cambridge took longer to talk to the military representatives. I heard that on her Canada tour she also took longer at the meet and greets. I'm sure it makes people feel like she really cares
Video: Kate premiered with 600 soldiers
Kleenex for Kate as she sheds a tear at War Horse premiere (and director Steven Spielberg admits he cried too)
As to the film, I'm hesitant about seeing it because I really won't want to sit in a movie theatre and bawl my eyes out. Would be a little awkward. However, I'm very interested in seeing the film, and knowing that I cry at a drop of a hat, I will be sure to have some kleenex ready nearby.
Its a movie not real life. In real life, in a real war, both men and animals die or are maimed.
I also liked the fact that Catherine took her time to talk to the servicemen/women and their families. It shows that she cares about those that she meets. I noticed that she does this almost always (as the time allows of course) during walk-abouts. William I think tends to rush a little (maybe because he wants to get to everyone, or just wishes to be out of the spotlight a little quicker). I hope Catherine never loses that about herself. It adds such a warm touch.
I am with you,whenever she talks to people it shows her warm,caring personality and it´s always great to be a good communicator when you are in a public role like her.Prince William has always seemed to be more introverted and didn´t talk to the press as much and as easy as other royals.It is just speculative but I believe it has a lot to do with the fact that he had seen his mother being "hunted" mercylessly by the paparazzi and so he is trying to talk to them only when it is necessary.Dorothy Rowe,a well-known psychologist and author assumes that a good relationship is formed of someone who is extroverted (outgoing) and an introvert (introspective)-they complement each other and build a succesful union!Just judging from what I have seen/read in the media,I believe William and Catherine show every sign of a happy couple and I wish that they will stay so for a long time
Btw,I also cannot see horses (or any animal) being harmed,they are so innocent and can´t run away or defend themselves like we can.I get very emotional when I see films that are sad and/or show a lot of violence,I also need a handy tissue when it gets very intense...
Maybe she is a reserved extrovert because she doesn't seem like the obnoxious kind of extrovert like Miley Cyrus. She seems more to be the type of person who is comfortable with herself and in her own skin; either that or she is a great actress.

I`m all for treating animals well, but it sometimes seems as if people care more about the treatment of animals than they do about their fellow human beings, as in death of animals in a movie seem to have more impact that the death of men in the same movie. JMO
Are you vegetarian or vegan? If not, I suggest you visit an abbatoir. Not picking at you, because I like you, but it must be one way or the other.
I don't plan to see the movie or read the book, as I am very sensitive to animal welfare, while still understanding the necessity of the war horse in times past, and war dogs in the present.
