SEABISCUIT
Description:
SEABISCUIT
click to zoom

Despite his boxy build, stumpy legs, scraggly tail and ungainly gait, Seabiscuit was one of the most remarkable thoroughbred racehorses in history. His fabulously wealthy owner Charles Howard, his famously silent and stubborn trainer Tom Smith, and the two hard-bitten, gifted jockeys who rode him to glory turned Seabiscuit into a national hero.

Release Date: 2005

Director: PBS Home Video

Pros: A little runt of a horse that was everyman's dream.
Cons: Nothing

This film not only gives us some history into a horse that became a legend, but also helps to describe the people in the U.S. at that time. unemployment was rampant, a few living well and everyone barely existing. This horse represented the best in people, and as he won so did they. He made the people around him better as well as the fans who loved him.

Pros: This film will make you believe you can do the impossible.
Cons: There was only one Seabiscuit.

The bridge between a broken down nation of able bodied men waiting in soup lines and a nation brave and bold enough to free the world of fascism was built by a few notorious role models. America found its heart through characters like FDR, Joe Louis, Jessie Owens, Lou Gehrig and a race horse named Sea Biscuit. If you are lucky enough to get a chance to see it, you may find your own heart too.
