Seabiscuit : 5 of 5
8.07.2003 5:54 PM \| Link	After a glowing review by my parents, I decided I need to see this movie on the big screen, rather than waiting for the DVD. I don't know anything about the history behind this amazing story, but the film is truly fantastic. The plot begins by switching between three men, who eventually become the horse's owner, trainer, and jockey, and they all intertwine into a wonderful tale of victory against impossible odds. I really liked how everything was handled against the backdrop of the Great Depression, since it transformed the story into a celebration of the human spirit, and those are exactly the kind of movies I love! Every scene is shot beautifully, and there's plenty of excitement - there were several rounds of applause in the theater. It's amazing to see the jockeys in close-up during the race - watching them talking and managing the speed of their horse at the same time was fascinating! I completely recommend this film to anyone who believes in a second chance. Labels: movies
