Review of Secretariat (2010) by Cash00716 — 28 Mar 2014
Nice feel-good family film along the lines of Seabiscuit but without any of the drama. The cast is fantastic, great setting in the late 60's. I just keep wanting to say nice, I mean nothing awful happens to anyone except for a tooth abscess and a bit of sexism but its still interesting.Tracing the origins of the "greatest race horse too ever live" from inception through his triple crown win. There's actually not much attention paid to "Big Red" it follows his owner 'Penny' (played brilliantly by Diane lane) a housewife who inherits her ailing fathers stables and her struggles in a male dominated sport, juggling a career and family. The attention to the issues of the time is well done. Can't find any faults, a definite feel good movie the whole family can enjoy. 03/09/14.
"Randall Wallace directed this stunning portrait of Triple Crown winner and unlikely horse-racing superstar Secretariat, which chronicles his career alongside a veteran trainer (John Malkovich) and industry outsider (Diane Lane).".
