Movie Reviews of Seabiscuit (Full Screen)
Movie Review: For Horse Lovers
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my all time favorite horse movie! I will never see it enough. Since it's based on a true story, the history behind the story is fascinating. But it's the little guy winning that makes the movie. The owner suffering the loss of his son, the trainer suffering the loss of his way of free range life, the jockey suffering the loss of his family and the horse suffering from the mistakes of other men. Together they heal each other and create a bond for life.
Summary of Seabiscuit (Full Screen)
THE TRUE STORY OF A LEGENDARY RACE HORSE THAT OVERCOME ALL THE ODDS TO WIN THE TRIPLE CROWN. THE OWNER, TRAINER AND JOCKEY WERE ALL UNDERDOGS THAT SHINED AT THE MOMENT OUR COUNTRY NEEDED IT THE MOST.Proving that truth is often greater than fiction, the handsome production of Seabiscuit offers a healthy alternative to Hollywood's staple diet of mayhem. With superior production values at his disposal, writer-director Gary Ross (Pleasantville) is a bit too reverent toward Laura Hillenbrand's captivating bestseller, unnecessarily using archival material--and David McCullough's familiar PBS-styled narration--to pay Ken Burns-like tribute to Hillenbrand's acclaimed history of Seabiscuit, the knobby-kneed thoroughbred who "came from behind" in the late 1930s to win the hearts of Depression-weary Americans. That caveat aside, Ross's adaptation retains much of the horse-and-human heroism that Hillenbrand so effectively conveyed; this is a classically styled "legend" movie like The Natural, which was also heightened by a lushly sentimental Randy Newman score. Led by Tobey Maguire as Seabiscuit's hard-luck jockey, the film's first-rate cast is uniformly excellent, including William H. Macy as a wacky trackside announcer who fills this earnest film with a much-needed spirit of fun. --Jeff Shannon
