Seabiscuit

A great American story from Academy Award - nominated filmmaker Gary Ross, Seabiscuit stars Tobey Maguire, Jeff Bridges and Chris Cooper. Based on the inspiring true story of three men - a jockey, a trainer and a businessman - and the undersized racehorse who took the entire nation on the ride of a lifetime. This breathtaking film achievement is "a must-see moviegoing experience" (Chicago Sun-Times) and "a flat-out great movie!" (Larry King Live, CNN)

Lengthy but worth watching! Powerful and true! - Filmaholic
This is a tale of the strength of the human spirit and how lives can intersect to truly change and inspire the world.
As the film so aptly says - just because a life is banged up a bit - don't mean it is worth something. If it can be fixed and you can help do it - why not do it?
A small horse, old eccentric trainer, oversized jockey, and eccentric trainer suffering from heartbreak.
The historical times emmulate the character's attitudes. The great depression is going on while these three men and small horse go out there and defy all the odds.
As the film clearly states - YOU CANNOT MEASURE THE AMOUNT OF HEART WITHIN AN INDIVIDUAL and THIS ABOVE ALL IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING!
Watch this movie and be inspired!wow - PoolBoy79
I found this movie to be very exciting. I was an equestrian and enjoyed riding and watching many horse shows. To me a horse running free without any tack[saddle or bridle] is the most beautiful sight to see. But it see a horse and rider racing for the finished line is beyond all imagination. The power of this magnificent animal is breathtaking. The camera close up at the track of the race, in my minds eye were extra ordinary--I could not fathom how this was accomplished, but it was. All the actors were outstanding, the scenery. Anyone who enjoys horse racing or riding horses, should not miss this picture. One feels as though they are riding along with the jockey and the experience of everything that happens in the race.Great movie - great sound - drmarcc
This movie eceded my expectation - even with all the positive press it received. story was good, acting was good, visuals stunning and sound justified the expenses of my surround sound system. As with most true stories brought to film, it jumps arround the timeline not allowing you to explore characters as much as you would like but this did not detract from the movie.
