"Secretariat" (Secretariat), 80 points, produced by the United States in 2010.

I always like movies about horse racing very much, even if this type of inspirational film is always the same and lacks new ideas, whether it is this film, or "The Pentium Era" or "Dream Speed". But anyway, every time you see the gate of the horse racing in the film open, the horses are galloping, and the blood is burning like you are on the spot. You can guess the storyline of this film without seeing it. See a horse racing and How its team won the game, the highlight is that the film was changed based on real people and real events. This horse has created a miracle and won the Grand Slam championship in Marseille. The last game is a stunning surprise. It can be called a generation. Grandmaster. Hollywood is very familiar with it, so it is natural to make such films well-rounded and beautiful, giving them more drama, first-class photography and soundtrack, and using different techniques to shoot and narrate the three repetitive scenes of the game, ingeniously avoiding similarities and monotony. Not to mention the joining of the two stars, Diane Ryan was given the gift of time, she is so elegant, stubborn and beautiful as she passed by, and the old drama John Malkovich still doesn't make any funny appearances. Their smooth interpretation definitely adds to the film.

This film is not so much the story of the secret horse secretariat, as it is the legend of the horse owner Penny, who has successfully transformed from a well-off housewife into a steadfast and charming horse owner. Seeing her gracefully raising her head into the men’s club, I naturally remembered that Merrill Streep in "Out of Africa" ​​also walked into the gentleman's club with no humility, and Scarlett Scarlett in "Gone with the Wind". These wonderful women also have them. He is proud, independent and strong, and dares to control his own destiny. Penny said well, what a father inherited from his children is not only money, but the fighting spirit to win! At the end of the film, the real person appeared, and even the real Penny made a cameo, which really cheered her! For the brave secretariat, a line in the play is impressive: "It doesn't pay attention to the clouds in the sky at all, it only pays attention to the lightning, the earth, the opponent, the game~". After coming to this world, shouldn't you be as indifferent as a horse? Not only do you need to be passionate about your dreams, but you also need to clenched your teeth in a tortuous and difficult situation. It's just that people in the world often boil easily and give up easily. The strong are not just the champions on the field. How many secretariat can the thousands of excellent horses in history produce? Anyone who puts all their heart and soul into fighting for and fighting is a winner. Although one of the cruel rules of the world is to win or lose, so the movie will definitely let you see victory. But actually Penny witnessed her team working together and embracing her family. She can proudly say to her beloved horse before the race: "I realize that no matter what tomorrow, I will already win. It's up to you now." , Buddy." Winning is really a process, not just a result, isn't it?

I love horses so much, with such a galloping power, speed and freedom. Staring at the silhouette of the otherworldly Secretary in the twilight of the film, I am so fascinated, I can only borrow a passage from "Dream Speed" to express my love: "You are a great champion. When you run, the world falls apart. Everyone who sees it clears the way and opens your way to victory. When you see me in the championship hoops, I will put a bunch of flowers on your back~"
