Beautiful movie all around

Rating: 9/10 (26 July 2004)

From beginning to end this movie is wonderful, it was filmed with so much class. The movie has the perfect plot, excellent ups and downs and the most perfect ending. The production quality was tops, cinematography and special effects ( mechanical horses) were done with so much professionalism that the movie is sure to be a classic horse film and in a way love story. I think the best aspect about the movie is that it is based on a true story and the DVD shows actual footage from the old races.
Also on the special features of the DVD are quite a few pictures taken by Jeff Bridges on the set of the movie with sound clips to go along with them.
He shoots with an old camera that captures a wide panorama view. I enjoyed this movie and would recommend it to almost anybody who enjoys a great heart-wrenching story about 2 underdogs.
