"Pentium Age" is a common sports inspirational film in the American film market, which conforms to the values ​​of chasing dreams and never giving up. But this film is out of homogeneity, and what makes it special is that its background is in the context of the Great Depression in the United States, and the protagonist inspires not only himself, but the entire country.

When the society is shrouded in haze, it needs a strong spiritual force for support, just like people. After World War II, the United States organized the NBA in order to relieve the pain of soldiers after the war, and transferred people's spirits to the intercontinental basketball confrontation. Sports is the war in the era of peace, which not only satisfies the desire to fight and obtains the stimulation of struggle, but also tastes the thrill of victory. The Great Depression devastated the entire country, and the American people had no time to think about the source of their pain, and their enthusiasm for speculating in the stock market was extinguished. Homes are broken, people are wandering around, and it is as miserable as it is. But pain breeds indulgence, and people start chasing raw pleasures (more thoroughly for the rich). Raw power, raw speed, in a nutshell, it's a sports game.

A car tycoon whose son died in a car accident and got divorced in a flash completely lost interest in cars, and his relationship with his new girlfriend gradually heated up at the racecourse. He fell in love with horse racing and became the planner of this inspirational story. After that, Bole, Maxima, and jockeys were all there. The four protagonists are very inspirational (very hard), but they all have dreams and abilities. "You can't deny his worth because he is flawed", which can be extended to, "You can't deny your own value because of a failure, you can't give up your life because you're poor, and you can't stand up again because you fell down." Sea Biscuits and his riders became the hope of the Americans, especially to convince the poor that they had the possibility of turning the tables. Sea Biscuits continue to participate in bonus races and challenge the strongest horse racing "warlords". It seems that as long as Sea Crackers can win, America can. Life has its ups and downs, warriors fall, and proud jockeys seek help. A wonderful story needs twists and turns, and the ending is more exciting. Finally, Sea Biscuits won the championship of Santa Anita by four horses, and the most wonderful American dream came to an end.

Sports is courage, and muscle is all about fighting. If not for this, what is the use of agility and strength? Sea Biscuits learned to gallop after being a real racehorse, desperately seeking victory on the field. As an old horse, with a nosebleed every time he sprints, and without slowing down in the corners, he is the perfect hero in a sports legend.

There is a supporting role in the film that can be said to be the finishing touch - Kuaisui Lao Mai. In that era when there was no reverberation sound effect, he alone took on the work of broadcasting, audio, reporter, and paparazzi. He is very professional, knows how to use words to arouse the interest of the audience, and is also responsible for lurking to find out first-hand information. Horse racing viewing is limited, and even if the infield is opened, it cannot accommodate many spectators. In those days when there was no television broadcast, Kuaizui Laomai's radio program passed the game to every household, and its spiritual encouragement to the people was no less than that of President Roosevelt's fireside chat.

Optimism is the spiritual weapon of the American people. Ten years later, the American people are waving their flags to stand on top of the world again. Sports has become another dream factory besides movies, where class flow has been completed and countless legends and inspirational stories have been produced. Sports give people a breath and a momentum to move forward, it tells us that even if there is no money, there is still a healthy body, and human beings are their own masters.
