      eternal heart lamp

      The story is based on Laura Hillenbrand's bestselling book Ocean Crackers: An American Legend. The horse's story was adapted into a movie in 1949, starring Shirley Temple. The film adopts the shooting method of the intersection of the virtual and the real, so that the real historical footage is interspersed in the film, forming a synergy with the story itself, slowly awakening the dusty memory, and leading the audience to naturally integrate into that special situation. The emotion catalyzed by...

      Seabiscuit

      In the 1930s, the United States was in the shadow of the Great Depression, and the story began at this time.
      this is a true story.
      Charles Howard was a former bicycle mechanic who made money by introducing cars to the American West. He bought a very small horse named Seabiscuit, which directly translates to sea biscuit. Howard teamed up with half-blind former boxing champion Rhett Pollard and former showman Tom Smith to train his small racehorses, with Pollard as the jockey and Smith...

      Ride the horse

      The most impressive scene is still:

      one side is the horse and a group of trainers getting angry, and the other side is RED and other horse trainers getting angry, this scene is too interesting,

      this horse is the same as this person, the same personality, the same temper, The same has flaws, the same has talent, very talented for their own industry, this is what I like to see very much, maybe a bit heroic, but I have all the movies that have that kind of genius, I have it I...

      The Pentium era is also very suitable for the current situation

      Although the Pentium era is about the 1930s, it is also very suitable for the current era. I bought this film in 2003 and I haven’t watched it until now. It’s a really good film. Why can’t I make such a film in recent years? Or am I getting old and nostalgic? Nowadays, the amount of information in the film is too large and there is not much nutrition. The amount of spam information has increased and the nutrition has been reduced. This phenomenon is not only manifested in the film industry but...

      In fact, every young man is a fierce horse

      Very inspirational video, the lines are also very good. It won't make your blood boil, but there is a warm passion.
      Howard is a very special person, always optimistic, kind, and has a wide range of friends. It is a blessing to have such people around. Tom is a good bole, and he's almost a horse. When he found a mare for Sea Biscuits, what I had in mind was: Human-like, no, horse-like. How did the little Spider-Man look awkward in the first half of the movie, his acting skills, expressions,...

      1. Another beautiful movie performed by Tobey Maguire in my favorite era. The last one was equally excellent. The Apple House Law is the most indispensable film in this movie. The grass scenery and moving music are all done Very nice. 2. The plot is excellent, the atmosphere is stable, the waves are not disturbed, and the emotions are so high that people are excited. 3. To borrow a comment I like very much, I want to make a small change: three people, one horse, saved an...

    Behind the scenes gags

    1. The story is based on Laura Hillenbrand’s best-selling book "Ocean Biscuit: An American Legend". The story of this horse was adapted into a movie in 1949, starring Shirley Temple . 
    2. The film was officially shot on October 15, 2002 in Los Angeles, but many shots have been completed in Racecourse across the country in the summer of 2002, including Ocean Biscuit’s home stadium in State of California that year. The film budget is 80...

    Creative background

    Gary Ross has been obsessed with horse racing since childhood. He even asked his parents to hold an adult ceremony for himself on the racecourse of Racecourse . His wife, Alison Thomas, who is also an executive producer, is a frequent visitor to Racecourse. The two later discovered an article "Four Good Legs Between Us" by Laura Hillenbrand in a publication called "American Tradition." After the novel was published, a fierce battle for...

    Shooting process

    To capture the wonderful moments on Racecourse, director Gary Ross realized from a very early time that the camera must move with the racehorse, and the distance between the camera and the racehorse must be reduced as much as possible. The photographer who took the shot of this film must not only be willing to take risks, but also to be creative.
    The shooting of the Racecourse scene is conceivable, and reshooting is inevitable. The film...

    Evaluation action

    The whole film revolves around the four protagonists. The conflict and relaxation of the plot, the placement of the conflict points of the four protagonists' respective storylines and the complementarity of the plot trend of the whole film, the grasp of the atmosphere of the whole film, etc., can all be seen in the screenwriting of this film. Good intentions. Another major feature of "Seabiscuit" is that it abandons the tension and...

    Movie quotes

    • Red Pollard: [Last line, narrating] You know, everybody thinks we found this broken-down horse and fixed him, but we didn't. He fixed us. Every one of us. And I guess in a way we kinda fixed each other too.

    • Narrator: The first time he saw Seabiscuit, the colt was walking through the fog at five in the morning. Smith would say later that the horse looked right through him. As if to say, "What the hell are you looking at? Who do you think you are?" He was a small horse, barely fifteen hands. He was hurting too. There was a limp in his walk, a wheezing when he breathed. Smith didn't pay attention to that. He was looking the horse in the eye.

    • [after losing a photo finish horse race]

      Red Pollard: It's not my fault. Not this time.

      Tom Smith: I told you, look out for Rosemont!

      Red Pollard: I thought I had it!

      Tom Smith: You stopped ridin' him!

      Red Pollard: I couldn't see him!

      Tom Smith: What the hell are you talking about? He was flyin' up your tail!

      Red Pollard: Yeah, well, I can't...

      Tom Smith: What?

      Red Pollard: ...SEE out there!
