Summary of this DVD...
If you love horses as I do, you will love this movie. It's heartwarming, makes you want to get up and encourage Seabiscuit to win. I watched this movie with my granddaughter, and it was so much fun to watch as we each went into our little dance of encouragement. We had tears of laughter and joy and didn't want the movie to end. It's an older movie, but still a winner in my book.
This type of DVD is good for...
Anybody will enjoy watching this.
I especially liked...
All the characters seem to click and of course the horse was so much fun watching him race. I am the kind of person who always goes for the underdog and Seabiscuit, with his boxy build and stumpy legs was laughed at. This got my dander up!
I didn't like...
when Seabiscuit lost races and became the butt of stable jokes.
When I finished viewing this DVD I wanted to...
You feel so overwhelmed with joy when Seabiscuit showed everyone he had what it took. Of course, his trainer trained him well.
This DVD made me feel...
Good about a horse who didn't seem to have the build to make a good racehorse.
The cast of this DVD...
Tobey Maguire,(Spiderman), Jeff Bridges, Elizabeth Banks stood out the most and made this remake a success.
I recommend this DVD because...
It endearing, and you can become transfixed on wanting this horse to win more than anything. Seabiscuit was the underdog who had what it took.
I don't recommend this DVD because...
None, I loved this DVD!
Further Comments...
If anybody wants to be blown away by a race between Seabiscuit and War Admiral, who's a much bigger, better looking horse. Who would you bid on? I love it how Seabiscuit lets War Admiral catch up with him but then holds him off, blowing past him on the straightaway and finally pulling way ahead of him at the end. The picuture of Red Pollard, (Tobey Macquire), sitting on top of the 7-year-old Seabiscuit after finally winning the Santa Anita $100,000 race is quite poignant, and you actually get to see Seabiscuit in all his awkward glory.
