During the Great Depression of the 1930s, the government could not see a way out, not to mention a bunch of plain-headed people in the sea. "Selling a car for one hundred dollars" is very popular, no reason, for living. In order to divert the public's sluggish attention during the depression, entertainment activities began to emerge during the Great Depression. Horse racing not only existed as a distraction, but also became popular for economic stimulation and capital financing. In the film, three protagonists with very different personalities and a horse that almost failed, started the legend of horse racing.

Hollywood movies are good at implanting heroism into films silently. Some people think that people save horses, and some people think that horses save people. In fact, returning to the most fundamental and essential answer, after all, people save people.

"Sea Biscuit" has the blood of a king, but due to a failure, people mistakenly think that this is just a cowardly horse, and has been insulted and cast aside. The appearance of the three protagonists, investors with discerning eyes, knights with the same temperament as "Sea Biscuit", and horse trainers who understand horses and love horses, "save" "bad horses" from different levels, animals cannot let the audience understand through language , so the director used a lot of close-ups to tell the audience through Ma's eyes that "Sea Biscuit" is strong and uninhibited at the deepest level. Undoubtedly, even if Hai Biscuits and his predecessor Ma Wang finally set up a suspense to "slow down" the speed of Hai Biscuits and was surpassed by Ma Wang, it would not change the final victory of Hai Biscuits. Slow is for a better sprint" is reflected on Hai Biscuits. Man saves the horse, Sea Biscuit wins the final horse race. The camera sweeps towards the audience in the stands, and uses the reflection lens to convey the changes in people's hearts to the audience. A thin and abandoned horse can become the last king. What about people? Symbolism begins to emerge, people begin to reflect, a horse racing legend reinvigorates the people, and at this time, the horse saves people. Looking back, if no one has abandoned the horse, and no one has rediscovered and cultivated the horse, how will Sea Biscuits win the final victory? In the end, the subject and object of salvation still return to man, and man saves man.

Mappings and symbols are always present in the film, and Hollywood films inevitably bring out a pattern of social issues. The economic crisis will always pass and the depression will come back to life, unless you give up on yourself, lose faith, and save the heroes of the crisis, there is nothing else but the people themselves.
