I remember that I first started writing film reviews or reviews because of the mandatory requirement of a course called "Reading a Hundred Books and Watching a Hundred Movies" in college at that time. Later, I gradually discovered that after watching some interesting or emotional movies, I would take the initiative to write some afterthoughts or non-professional film reviews. Now that I think about it, I think the university should be like this.

Speaking of the movie "A Generation of Pride Horses", it can be classified as an inspirational movie whose story content is adapted from real events. The content of the movie mainly tells that the heroine was originally just an ordinary housewife Penny Chenery (Penny Chenery), because of the death of her mother and the deteriorating health of her father, with almost no experience in horse racing, relying on With my own hard work and perseverance, when I almost lost my marriage, I eventually not only saved the horse training ground that my father had run badly, but even trained a horse that was hailed by the U.S. as "the greatest racehorse"— —Secretariat, also restored all the honor and praise.

First of all, from the perspective of the overall structure of the film, a common wave-shaped recursion, that is, before the final climax, two high-emotion points are also arranged. For example, when Penny Cenery sent a two-year-old racehorse (the name of the racehorse in the film is: Secretary, translated as: Secretariat) to participate in the race, many spectators may inevitably produce a kind of this race. The illusion of losing or even unable to complete this game. But when the Secretariat went to win the victory smoothly. And the next plot is that the horse race won consecutively and won the title of "Horse King" that year, and the story continues to climax. Without waiting for the audience to start to guess what the movie will happen next, the director shot down the climax of the movie in an instant at the most appropriate time-the heroine Cinelli's father died of illness at this time. This made the excitement that the audience just mentioned sinks down at the top. After this trough, the plot began to rise, and Cinelli began to move on for her dream. When her secretariat lost for the first time in the first match of the Triple Crown Horse King, there was another emotional trough. But this is the prerequisite for raising the final climax of the film to an almost perfect height in the future.

This ingenious and ups and downs of the film structure makes me feel a little refreshing.

The movie was released on October 8, 2010. Although the box office performance is not very popular, the word-of-mouth has been soaring. Many mainstream American media have even predicted that they will be nominated for Best Picture Oscars. But at that time, a "social network" was released, which made the film sink. This experience is exactly the same as the situation in the same inspirational movie "Three Stupid Stupefies in Bollywood".

The real event described in the movie took place in the United States in 1973, and it is now in 2012. Although the time and place are very different, I have found that I, who has graduated and worked for less than half a year, can be moved by such simple and true stories. Because of the inside of the story, I learned how to make the right choice and stick to it in the face of disputes, temptations, choices, and difficulties.

Sometimes movies are not good or bad, as long as you watch them at the right time, they are good movies.

The choice is the same. There is no right or wrong. As long as you persevere, it is a good choice.
