A little personal review

When I saw the end, I screamed for blood, and the foreshadowing was buried in front of the foreshadowing - the jockey who has run to death, the horse lacking the endurance gene in the blood, the long track, the non-stop training before the race, the audience 's side narration, but, without warning, the "Secretary" continued to accelerate until it crossed the finish line - seemingly thirty-one positions ahead. If it's a surprise, it's more a shock. In my original expectation, it ran across the finish line in a stalemate and vomited blood and died. All I can say is that this horse's little universe exploded.
Leaving that aside, everything about the film is too mediocre. The stable shot that fades in and out, the soft camera movement, the editing that can't pick out too many faults, the combination of the upside-down shot and the close-up shot during the horse race, the processing of the sound in the close-up shot, the interlude with a jazzy flavor, a desire to raise The first is a story of family and love - a biographical movie can get a good score if it is shot in this way, but it can only be quite satisfactory. In retrospect, only the secretary is extraordinarily enthusiastic when he surpasses his opponents, but This is the blood of the horse racing itself, not the film itself.
It is also a true story adaptation, and the three "Fighter", "The King's Speech" and "Untouchable" are obviously successful. Although "Fighter" is also quite satisfactory, it is not worth the excellent acting skills of the actors. The brother created by Christian Bale unexpectedly won the Oscar for best supporting actor that year. "The King's Speech" has been watched for too long, but I don't remember it so well. Of course, Colin Firth's acting skills are also impeccable, and he won the best actor in the same session of "The Fighter". (Mark Wahlberg really didn't do as well as Colin.)
Personally, I think -- of course biographies have celebrity biographies and story biographies, and I'm referring to story biographies here -- story biographies should be something like The Untouchables.
Maybe it's because the horse racing itself is not good at dealing with the relationship between people and people and horses. After all, horses can't have the same expressive language as people, but in "Unreachable", the accumulation of emotions is a continuous and progressive process. Long shots and close-ups of backlit faces, those subtlest emotions are obvious enough even if not deliberately conveyed, except for these technical aspects, the handling of the story itself is the main reason I give it five stars and "The Proud Horse" only four stars. The reason is that a person with low self-esteem and a gangster walked out of a new life with each other under some unexplained tacit understanding, which is also inspirational, but the place that should be suppressed in the middle is so heavy that people can't breathe, but it is not depressed. The last straw kills you, only to build up your emotions little by little in cravings and intermittent respite until the final "chosen time" erupts.
But in "A Generation of Pride Horses", there are only family members who appear from time to time but only to remind the development of time, and the villain has only one horse owner who can only talk about guns, so it lacks appeal, and only the secretary under the close-up lens is passionate throughout Body muscles.

PS: I actually found James Cromwell, and I feel so in love.
