Did you realize?

Rating: 8/10 (26 September 2012)

Seabiscuit was nominated for 7 Academy Awards - with winning none of them. So was Shawshank Redemption, the other great film about hope I would like to compare Seabiscuit to. I remember when I left the theater from just watching Shawshank, I was so impressed, I uttered: Just cover these movie with awards! Well, we all know it came the other way. Every time I look up IMDb, I'm satisfied to see Shawshank on top, but where's Seabiscuit? Maybe it's due to his horse theme that this movie is not ranking comparably high.
I don't know the reasons why the Academy members decided in this way, but I do like the pace of both films, the bunch of characters, the narrator, the epic angle of the plot, the story and yes - the diligence the two movies are made with. Hope to see soon another story that will be nominated for a couple of Oscars and is meant to stay why others will vanish. Congratulations to the cast and the director!
