I saw this with my whole family, including a 10 & 11 year old. We all LOVED it!!! Fantastic!
Fred Thompson’s a good guy in it. alot of Bible references as well. And they refer to picketing the war as commie crap(?) and that Chile is socialist.
Great movie, beautifully filmed and I’d recommend it to everyone. But it sure played loose with the facts. I guess that’s what Disney does.
If anyone is looking for a great read, which includes much history of early racing families, pick up William Nack’s “Secretariat - the Making of a Champion”. He’s a wonderful writer and was there for every step of Red’s career.
...This movie had nothing to do with politics and I am glad.
But it appears liberals view "uplifting films" as inherently political. They might make us feel good about America, and that would be horrible.
The movie is only at 62% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes critics' meter.
All together now...
Walk around to the back of the horse. That's you.
LOLOLOOL!
Haven’t seen it, but it is true almost all the men are portrayed as mean, etc.?
No, not all men were portrayed as mean. They did turn Ogden Phipps into somewhat of a nasty type but they needed some sort of negative character to foil Penny. They also turned Pancho Martin, trainer of Sham, into somewhat of a bombastic buffoon but it was done with humor.
LOL! Actually, I haven’t seen it yet; I was just going by the review of the FR poster. I know that if I had a chance to meet Diane Lane (or Sarah, for that matter), I’d treat them so nice that they’d think I was a cross between Santa Claus and the Good Ship Lollipop.
TSgt took the pregnant misses last night to see it and we absolutely loved it!
