SEABISCUIT
In the 1930s when radio was king, horseracing was the sport of blue collar and no collar kings. From deep in Depression era America, the lives of three men and a horse came together to carry the hopes of the hopeless to victory and a new day.
Charles Howard (Jeff Bridges) is a wealthy California ranch owner who started his career in bicycles, made his fortune with cars and now races horses for sport. Tom Smith (Chris Cooper) is an aging, itinerant horse trainer who has a mystical way with the animals, and Red Pollard (Tobey Maguire) is a jockey trying to make it big.
Seabiscuit, bred to be a winner, is intelligent, small, lazy and eats too much. His first trainer forces him to race and Seabiscuit just won’t cooperate. But he’s got spunk and heart, which Howard, Smith and Pollard recognize.
In those days, millions of Americans sat by their radios to listen to Seabiscuit’s misadventures and exploits. Smith and Pollard race him to victory against all odds and obstacles.
This excellent film, directed by Gary Ross, is an Oscar contender. It is based on the best-selling book by Laura Hillenbrand. (To tell the truth, I don’t know which I liked more.) Some sports violence uplifting story of the little horse that could.
