More than a horse Race

Rating: 8/10 (8 August 2005)

The story of that wonderful Horse, Seabiscuit is a lot more interesting than one would imagine. There is so much to this film that is uplifting to the spirits and is a step back in time , where the "little" people can be winners too. The mood of the Great Depression is extremely well captured, as is the excitement of a horse that took the imagination of the American people, at a time of great hardship, and gave them plenty to cheer about. A well produced Movie with some really stirring background music - extremely well-acted with Toby Maguire and Jeff Bridges in great form, and William A. Macy in a cameo performance. It was highly nominated in the Oscars of that year - a well deserved honor.
