A touch of Class...Exlemplified by breathtaking Cinematography !!

Rating: 9/10 (28 February 2006)

I would agree with skeptics arguing the traditional David Vs. Goliath story,told and re-told,but would disagree on the fact that Seabicuit is probably the best ever cinematic example of such a feat. Apart from the fact that it was a true story,the gripping editing and intertwining of the 4 main characters to such an extent that an Animal became the center of attraction and the so called Hero of the Movie without uttering a word is something that we don't see in everyday movie-making. I'm sure the horses they used couldn't compete close to what the actual Biscuit did decades back...but the powerhouse attitude and performance of the horse creates a make-believe environment beyond the realm of the other characters.Hats of to the Horses' Trainers/Handelers and the Director of the movie for this piece of work.I felt the Direction was excellent and the movie deserved much more recognition,fame and fortune than it got. Kudos to the whole team and hope more "Seabiscuits" are delivered in time...
