Though he be but little--he is fierce!

Rating: 8/10 (13 February 2006)

I loved this movie, and you will too--let me tell you why: it's beautiful. I read the book before I watched the movie, and some of the things were way off. But...I fell in love with the movie and I've seen it over 200 times! That movie also made me fall in love with something else: horse racing. I've been watching horse racing for quite some time now, but this movie got me (and others, such as Jerry Oconnell) to watch the sport.
Who knows...it may have the same affect on you.
Anyway, my favorite character is George Woolf. He's played by a real jockey who looks like a midget Henry Fonda. For being his first time out, he's really good. Steals the show a couple of times...not including when he gets to ride Seabiscuit.
I also liked the character Chris Cooper played. I know almost all of his lines on the movie--and I still say them. You will too, if you give it a chance.
The thing to remember most about this movie is the horse (over a dozen horses played Seabiscuit) and you'll see why when you watch it. I can see why people during the Depression looked upon him so grandly. He was grand! The little horse who could! The little horse who could win--no matter his size, no matter the odds. This movie will inspire everyone--young and old. Inspire them, tell them that they can do the unimaginable.
Though he be but little--he is fierce! Enough of my talking. Go watch the movie.
