Seabiscuit Film Analysis

Hi, and welcome to this paper about the film Seabiscuit. Seabiscuit is around three men, Red Pollard, Charles S. Howard, and Tom Smith meetup as the racer, proprietor, and mentor of the title horse Seabiscuit, ascending from vexed times to make acclaim and progress through their relationship with the steed. Red is the offspring of a Canadian family fiscally demolished by the Great Depression. In urgent need of cash, the family leaves Red with a steed mentor. Howard is an assistant in a bike shop who gets asked by a passing driver to repair his car, an innovation which has as of late been presented. Be that as it may, his child is murdered in a car crash while driving the family auto, which sends Howard into an episode of profound sadness, which

in the end results in his significant other leaving him.Howard employs Smith to deal with his stables after Smith, who represents considerable authority in restoring harmed and manhandled stallions, discloses to Howard "You don't discard an entire life simply 'because it's beat up a tad bit". Smith persuades Howard to get the yearling "Seabiscuit", who originates from noted ancestry however had been considered "hopeless" by past handlers and was later broken and prepared to lose against better horses.Smith can't discover a racer willing to manage Seabiscuit's personality, yet in the wake of seeing Red Pollard fighting with other stable young men, he finds in him a comparative disposition to the feisty stallion and chooses to name him as Seabiscuit's racer. Seabiscuit and Pollard turn out to be close and they start to race. Enlivened, Howard tries more than once to incite a race with the deriding New York magnate Samuel Riddle and his fearsome stallion "War Admiral", the top race horse in the nation. Enigma inevitably yields to a match race on his terms between War Admiral and Seabiscuit, however while the date approaches, Pollard is harmed in a riding mishap, breaking his leg. At the point when the specialist reports that he will be not able ride once more, Red recommends that Howard get an old companion, the fruitful racer George Woolf to be Sea Biscuit's new rider.

Red shows Woolf about Seabiscuit's taking care of and peculiarities. At the match race, Seabiscuit upsets the overwhelming top choice, War Admiral, incompletely on account of a mystery that Pollard identifies with Woolf, educating him to hold him straight on with the other stallion so he gets "a great take a gander at the Admiral." Later on, Seabiscuit is hustling at Santa Anita when he is harmed and needs to stop. Red helps him to recuperate and get sufficiently fit to race once more. The last race is again at the Santa Anita, and Red rides him this time in the wake of putting a unique independent prop all alone leg to keep it stable. Woolf is on an alternate stallion. Seabiscuit drops to last place and trails the pack, however Woolf keeps down to be close by Red and let Seabiscuit "get a decent look". After a short discussion, Seabiscuit surges and wins the race.At the end Red says, "You know, everyone thinks that we found this broken down horse and fixed him, but we didn't. He fixed us. Every one of us. And I guess in a way, we kinda fixed each other,

too."

Here are some examples of how life was different in the United States then towards now. One example was the money. In order to get the owner of war admiral to agree to the race, howard offers a reward of 100,000 dollars to the winner of the race. Even though the owner of war admiral refuses to race, that was a lot of money back then. Now, that would not be very much money. Another example is the fact that everyone listens to the races on the radio. Now, everyone would watch it on T.V. A third example is the fact that they have to go to mexico to get a drink. Now, everyone would just drink at home.

Here are some examples of things we talked about in class. One thing we talked about is Investment. Howard invests in SeaBiscuit even though he wasn't a very good horse. Another thing we talked about is risk and reward. Howard took a risk on Red, and he was rewarded when Red and Seabiscuit were a good team. A third example is maintaining a business. Howard starts a business repairing bikes, and he has to keep it alive by adapting to fix cars.

In conclusion, you can see that Seabiscuit was a big inspiration to american society. He provided inspiration to an america that was broken hearted. He provided hope to the people that were broke and bored. He provided hope to Red who had almost given up ever becoming a famous race horse
