It was an era when dreams began and ended. The Great Depression of the United States in the 1930s dragged down the booming United States into a downturned society. "Sea biscuit Seabiscuit", after being famous, his grandfather is the famous racehorse "God of War", and his father is a horse "hard biscuit", but it is a thin-looking horse whose height is only half that of a normal racehorse. At the age of months, he was determined to be unable to race because he did not inherit the genes of a champion horse at all. Why is such a weak and humble horse the greatest racehorse in American history? "Everyone has unknown potential. As long as you find Bole and train, you can shine, and if you give others a chance, a miracle may happen." Director Gary Ross said. In this film, if the four characters are taken apart, they are all frustrated and embarrassed. Charles Howard (Jeff Bridge), although the founding tycoon of Buick Motors in the United States, has been unable to get out of the pain for a long time after losing his beloved son. With his wife leaving, his career is successful, but his family is broken.
The outdated horse trainer Tom Smith (played by Chris Cooper), who lives on the horse farms everywhere, is a weird man in the eyes of others. Redbola (Tawby McGuire), a poor boy who was separated from his parents when he was young, has boxed and worked as a jockey, but always ends up being squeezed out and bullied. Sea biscuit, a small, grumpy, inferior horse, was beaten with a whip and used to accompany him to peddling. It completely lost the face of the famous family. But life is so exciting. When three people and four lonely lives collide together, they have the most incredible sparks and formed the best team. In many cases, the reason why people pass by with success is not because of lack of ability, but because they can't wait for an opportunity to stand up, or when they come, they don't seize it. The success of the sea biscuit is the perfect combination of opportunities. Three people and one horse, they are each other’s opportunity, as well as each other’s Maxima and Bole. But we didn’t. He saved us. Each of us, in some respects, we also saved each other.” Howard took a fancy to Smith’s experience, Smith discovered Reid’s potential, and Reid even more. Inspired the energy and explosive power of the sea biscuit, they understood each other and gave each other a chance. During the Great Depression, Sea Biscuit gave the equally frustrated American people a hope of realizing their dreams, a spiritual encouragement, and a projection of their own ideals. "If it's a little guy, he can do great things if he doesn't know he is young." Howard told reporters after winning several championships in the sea biscuit. I think what this film wants to convey is the spirit of winning against the challenge, the will to challenge. Smith once said to Howard: "The point is not speed, but heart. You need a horse that is not afraid of competition. Half of these horses are good-looking. What you want is a horse that is fearless in the face of battle.” It doesn’t matter if you lose. Failure and setbacks are nothing. The point is fearlessness and no retreat. This kind of momentum and impulse is the most terrifying. , Is the key to success. "Seabiscuit in the Pentium Age", sea biscuits made the stagnant age to regain its brilliance and vitality. It may be an exaggeration to say that, but this thin and small horse really symbolizes the American spirit of realizing dreams. Until now, it still touched countless people.
