One of the most inspirational movies ever made

Rating: 10/10 (8 February 2015)

Gary Ross's Seabiscuit (2003) tells the extraordinary true story of an undersized racehorse that lifts the spirit of all Americans during the Great Depression and while I was watching this movie I felt like I was alive during that time period. Adapted from Laura Hillenbrand's book called Seabiscuit: An American legend, though I didn't read the novel I felt like I did read it long before I saw this movie. The movie stars Tobey Maguire as Red Pollard the man who rode Seabiscuit through most races, and after his leg gets injured he is persistent to get back on the track and that is one of the most inspiring parts about the movie, another inspiring part of the movie is the supporting cast members performances mainly from Oscar winners Chris Cooper and Jeff Bridges who make the film much better than I thought it out to be. Ross's direction for the film is just flawless and sometimes heartbreaking. Even though I have very little interest in horse racing this movie made me even more interested in the sport, and this movie counts as one of 2003's 10 best films.
