Seabiscuit is a truly inspiring and touching film

Rating: 8/10 (2 October 2006)

I wasn't too interested in seeing Seabiscuit, because I get too nervous with animal movies, especially, because an animal usually dies in these films. But Seabiscuit is truly an amazing film and good news, it doesn't kill any horses! The acting and direction is also terrific and you could tell that everyone really got into their job. It looked like a film where actual work was put into it.
It's about a man, Red, who is put into the care of another when his parents can no longer afford him when the stock market crashes. He learns how to ride and has a knack for it. When Chris Cooper, a ranch man, has a champion horse give birth to a horse of less talent, the men raise it to be extremely violent, when Chris notices how Red has the same temper and virtually the same personality, he puts them together and they end up being champions! It's a great film and just a great story to tell, I loved watching every minute of this movie, even though it's long, it was one of those movies that was worth it. Everything about this film was great and I wouldn't mind seeing it again or recommending it to anyone, it's a happy tear jerker.
8/10
