936 Words4 Pages

Seabiscuit is a film based on true story that was released in late 2003. Even through the movie captures the success of the racehorse Seabiscuit, it is truly about the trials and tribulations that the three men experienced. Who would have thought that during your most trying times, The Great Depression that an unconditional, everlasting team made up of three men would rise above to face success in the eyes? Nearing the end of their last dollar, Red’s father dropped him off with a horse trainer in which he becomes a jockey. Unforeseen events took place when Red boxed on the side to earn an extra income, which left him blind in one eye. Howard lost his son in a car accident followed by his wife leaving him. Howard then meets this beautiful …show more content…

It was about, “not throwing your whole life away because you’re banged up a little (George. 2003. Film). Each character lives were relatively similar with the struggles of the hard times and just trying to place their feet on the ground without it collapsing from underneath them. Motivational and encouraging statements like the one listed above were said throughout the entire movie. What I have gathered is with hard work and determination and an active support team you can withstand all.
After Red’s first win, the narrator begins to say, “it wasn’t the roads, bridges or other public projects that were built in the past years. It was more invisible than that. Men who were broken only a year before suddenly felt restored. Men who were shattered suddenly found their voice” (Youtube. 2016). Personally, all it takes is for one or a couple exude motivation or positive vibes and that within itself becomes contagious in a right way. Red says,” you know, everyone thinks that we found this broken-down horse and fixed him, but we didn’t. He fixed every one of us, and I guess in a way we kind of fixed each other.” Marcela gave Howard hope, Tom encourage Red, Red motivated George and Seabiscuit drove Red to ride

  • Lone Star Film Analysis

    Numerous screenwriters and directors have often dealt in their films with the theme of borders, whether literal and officially recognised, like military ranks or state frontiers, or abstract and metaphorical, like those of morality, justice, race, and gender, along with several others. As a consequence, as John Gibbs points out, one could assemble these movies, especially those taking place on the confines between Mexico and United States, under the label of ‘border films’ (2002: 27); thus contextualising them in a very specific tradition, which includes pictures such as Touch of Evil (Orson Welles 1958) or The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (Tommy Lee Jones 2005). Accordingly, another notable movie belonging to the ‘border film tradition’ is Lone Star: an acclaimed 1996 hybrid of western and mystery film conventions, directed and written by independent filmmaker John Sayles.

  • Of Mice And Men Seabiscuit Analysis

    The novel Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck and the story Seabiscuit both reveal that dreams bring people together and give them something to work for, even when achieving their dream seems impossible. The relationships between Red and Charles Howard in Seabiscuit and between George and Lennie in Of Mice and Men display the true impact of dreams and how crucial it is to have them. In the book Seabiscuit by Laura Hillenbrand, Howard and Red’s dream of making it big in horse-racing formed an unlikely relationship between the two, and made it possible for Seabiscuit to be a champion. The text reads,”We had to rebuild him, both physically and mentally, but you don't have to rebuild the heart when its already there big as all outdoors.”

    The three movies – Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, and The Green Berets – are all movies based on the same historical event – the Vietnam war and US’s involvement in it. Yet, they all presented us with different and narrative point of view and authority figures in order to paint their individual values. The movies’ most obvious differences lie within the choice of their narrative point of view. The Green Beret, the earliest one, was directed by John Wayne and he also starred in the leading role. Wayne’s authority and influence in the 1960s was similar to the influence of Tom Hanks in the 21st Century.
