As we wished, we watched the little jockey and his beloved racehorse slowly disappear from the screen. The black and white background of the bleak early 1930s of the last century may have become the dust of history with the end of the movie, but we know that as long as Staring at the tiny flames that tremble deep in Seabiscuit's brown eyes, just think of the little bits and pieces of images about this movie, and you'll arrive at the thrilling life that everyone longs to dream about.

When Seabiscuit stands behind the white fence at the starting point again and again, the fences at the turning point of life are also opened one by one to the troubled and frustrated people. You never know what awaits at the next intersection in life, so never stop running, never stop fighting.

How can a flawed dwarf race horse win so many races? What makes it take a near-self-mutilating way of racing that turns without slowing down? When Sebiscotte's sweat-soaked eyes turned slightly to look at the opponent and the audience, I think everyone felt the fire in the depths of their souls.

The idea of ​​the film comes from the novel "Sybe Scott: An American Legend" that has been on the "New York Times" bestseller list for 30 weeks, starting from the frustrated lives of three men to tell this rare legend in the history of American horse racing. . Tom first saw Seabiscuit on a misty morning, and the narrator said, "When it first came to me from the morning mist, looked at me with eyes that seemed to say, you Who do you think you are?" This is like the soul declaration of another protagonist in the film, Saiby Scott, who is rebellious and unwilling to give in, including not easily losing to any opponent. This kind of unending and extremely strong sense of victory and the spirit of never giving up has always been the reason why human beings need competitive competitions, and it is also the fundamental idea of ​​the film as an inspirational film.

The film is a typical inspirational film, and the historical background of the Great Depression makes it an epic and portrait of the soul of that era from a certain perspective. In addition to describing the main characters, the film also touches on many ordinary people in the background of the era, and the black-and-white photos and narrations of the Great Depression, which are always interspersed, are the grand background of the era that the director tries to extract and express. Several highly contagious horse racing and speech scenes in the film seem to be separated from the statement of the calm history, but in the jagged interlacing of the images, we can clearly feel the faint beating and unwillingness in the lowest era in American history. Extinguished hope and spiritual fire. And the interval between color and black and white appears, which accentuates this feeling even more.

After watching this movie, touch your and my chest, is there something that is beating forever; don't give up lightly, you can reach the end of the exciting life in your dreams.
