True history of the sport are often inspiring, usually entertaining, and largely predictable. Disney release this weekend is all the above - and it's very good to me.
"Secretariat" is the true story of Penny Chenery (Diane Lane) and the possibility that she took both her father's horse breeding operations and horse named Secretariat. To save the farm of his father, Chenery took $ 6 million risk of getting investors to buy the rights to dilution of the Secretariat on the proviso that he will win all three Triple Crown races: a feat not achieved within 25 years.
Although this film was billed as "not a true story", which gives a kind of game is far, risks, and family strains and the omnipresent possibility of failure keep you on the edge of your seat (or at least in the center) of the whole movie.
However, the story was not enough to make this stand out from the dozens of other 'good-sports movie. " No, this film edges ahead in many ways a horse trainer Lucien Laurin, one of the best roles, John Malkovich's. Lucien French-Canadian was widely recognized as a talented, but without a win in his name. His eccentricity (shown in classic fashion with his outrageous clothes, but shines in his speech and behavior, a) a single film, which makes it a pleasure from his first appearance on the screen until the end.
And when it comes to opponents, Nestor Serrano (Pancho Martin) shines as the villainous, talks to a lot, boasting the owner of the horse favored to win the Triple Crown races. This is rarely so nice to see people lose ... I mean ... if he loses. I've said too much, not that he was a secret.
But, as a family flick, I find several setbacks. The first is the length. At 2 o'clock, "the Secretariat" does not just build up to the final, decisive race. Instead, we get 4 or 5 different races, each with its own, the emotional construction, full race, and reaction time. On the actual final race, I really do not want to go through this again.
And Penny chooses a horse on her family. The family is suffering for some time, but her husband, Jack (Dylan Walsh), steps in as Mr. Mom to keep their four children happy and together and to participate in school performances and other important events. However, Penny spends his dreams, dreams she's clearly given up to raise a family. So now it's their turn to get her and her family are forced to live with it. They come to recognize that their mother is now known and will be far more often than not, and they even became proud of her, but I was concerned that it does not offer any time or effort to help with the transition.
But overall themes were inspiring, and feel good, and the story is really impossible, as when it happened and to this day. Adults will love the "Secretariat". Teens can. And you can leave children at home, not to watch them squirm in their seats.
