Proving that truth is often greater than fiction, the handsome production of Seabiscuit offers a healthy alternative to Hollywood's staple diet of mayhem. With superior production values at his disposal, writer-director Gary Ross (Pleasantville) is a bit too reverent toward Laura Hillenbrand's captivating bestseller, unnecessarily using archival material--and David McCullough's familiar PBS-styled narration--to pay Ken Burns-like tribute to Hillenbrand's acclaimed history of Seabiscuit, the knobby-kneed thoroughbred who "came from behind" in the late 1930s to win the hearts of Depression-weary Americans. That caveat aside, Ross's adaptation retains much of the horse-and-human heroism that Hillenbrand so effectively conveyed; this is a classically styled "legend" movie like The Natural, which was also heightened by a lushly sentimental Randy Newman score. Led by Tobey Maguire as Seabiscuit's hard-luck jockey, the film's first-rate cast is uniformly excellent, including William H. Macy as a wacky trackside announcer who fills this earnest film with a much-needed spirit of fun. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Review of Seabiscuit (Widescreen Edition)
 We can all learn something from this Movie.
I just love this movie - and I have watched it many a times. Not only because it deals with horses, which I love, but more with the theme it is dealing with.
<
>
<
>You will no doubt find out what the story is, or you would have seen it already (it was released around 2003 or 2004?), but there is a line which came up in the movie a couple of times, and I like it a lot. It goes something like:
<
>
<
>"Just because someone's got banged a little, we are not gonna throw a whole life away".
<
>
<
>It's vitally important we give ourselves or someone else a second chance. It is just equally important that we grab that second chance ourselves, whenever it comes, before it fades away.
<
>
<
>There are many second chances out there to grab, it is just a matter if we would have the heart to grab them or not. Not everyone strikes out winning the first time, but to keep fighting without losing hearts is vital.
<
>
<
>Both the Horse (Seabiscuit) and the Jockey (Red) made a comeback when everybody thought they were out for good; one (the Jockey) broke his leg in a riding accident, the other (the Horse, Seabiscuit) sprained its ligament in a race. All the doctors and vets told them they would not ride nor race again in their lives, one even suggested to put the horse down, but the Owner gave them both a second chance, they took the time to recover enough to make a comeback. And they did it, together.
<
>
<
>It may sound an ordinary story, a plain sporting movie to try to inspire and draw a few tears in the audience, well, not for me. This actually happened in real life. And it happens on a daily basis to a lot of people. It matters if one has the heart to fight back.
<
>
<
>Another part I like the movie Seabiscuit a lot is that:
<
>
<
>The Horse Seabiscuit was a castaway whom nobody thought could achieve anything in racng - he was only 15 hands tall, not big enough for a racerhorse. The champion War Admiral he faced was a full 19 hands, and a thoroughbred.
<
>
<
>"He may be little, but he is fierce" - and his hearts and racing spirits made up for it.
<
>
<
>The Jockey was a losing jockey, a nobody who lost his family in the Great Depression, had to beg to ride for racings, but he had the fighting spirits to give it a go, never giving up.
<
>
<
>The Trainer was an old man who knows his horses, but nobody thought well of hiring him because his ways were peculiar, even eccentric
<
>
<
>The Owner was a divorced person who made out on his own, made his fortunes all by himself, but felt guilty for the death of his son. And he had had the hearts to give both the Jockey and the Trainer, and even Seabiscuit himself, a second chance(s).
<
>
<
>When Seabiscuit won the races, people said the 3 of them, the Owner, Trainer and Jockey had fixed a broken horse. In a way, they all fixed each other.
<
>
<
>It was a good story. It teaches me a lot. We could all learn something from it.
<
>
 More than a distraction
A wonderful offering on facing wounds (narrator explains how Seabiscuit was "trained" to lose in order to build the confidence of the others) and offers visuals of love in action from three men - owner/vision, trainer/wisdom, jockey/courage.
<
>
 Accepting the challenge of life is difficult.
In this feature film about horseracing and one champion, we vicariously travel back in time to see the beginnings of a rich pasttime. In New York City 1910, the Ford Model T, off the assembly line developed by Ford Motors, competes with all the pretty horses for the attention and money of those who flaunt their status. The horses are on a ranch, encirled by something new then, barbed wire fence.
<
>
<
>Across country, it is till a varied transportation in San Francisco where the horse and carriages races bucyckesm the Stanley Steamer and a very small locomotive. An optimistic repairman became a car salesman for Buick. The old race cars were something else. The future is in the finish line.
<
>
<
>In Alberta, Canada, the sky is the limit! Betting on the horses was the thing to do in Tijuana, Mexico, as a mariachi band plays and the liquor flows where gambling proliferates. There is a Spanish bullfight, matadors all decked out for the kill. The 1929 Crash on Wass Street causes unemployment, homelessness, and the Great Depression is born. Tor those who have them, there is a national migration in their automobiles.
<
>
<
>This is a disjointed story but, finally, the stars Sea Biscuit and Tobey Maguire, too big to be a jockey, are there in all their glory at the famous racetrack in Kentucky. Tom Smith made a good medicine man.
<
>
<
>Red is all grown up telling his stories about Sultan. In Saratoga, New York, we've come full circle. After a successful team effort, Sea Biscuit, a real race horse, is put out to pasture ans is shown as Ferdinand, a fictional character, sitting under a Juniper tree. Thank goodness, he didn't have the same fate as Barbaro.
