Seabiscuit on DVD
by Tanner Rhoden, Team IronLife.com Writer
This is the story of Seabiscuit, a once-broken-down racehorse that overcame the odds while becoming an American folk hero at the height of the Great Depression. In this movie, there are two stories being told at the same time. One is of Americans who were disillusioned by the stock market crash and subsequent Depression that wiped out their hopes  and dreams. The other is the story of three men who were broken by life but saw their lives gain new meaning when a horse named Seabiscuit showed them how to rise above overwhelming obstacles. Charles Howard (Bridges), was an inventive millionaire who manufactured cars and believed anything was possible in the land of opportunity until the Depression wiped him out and a tragic accident destroyed his family. As a young teenager, Red Pollard (Maguire) was abandoned by his parents who thought he would have a better life taking care of horses at a stable. After years of fighting for his living, Red was forced to grow up too fast in a hostile world that left him a broken young man. Tom Smith (Cooper) was a cowboy known for his talent of soothing untamable horses, but with the encroachment of modern man he grieved for the western world he had once known. As Seabiscuit beat the odds to become America's favorite racehorse, these three men overcame their obstacles and once again believed that anything was possible when someone believes in you and gives you a second chance.
For those of you that haven't seen this movie yet, I highly recommend you buy it on DVD. It's a movie that gets better everytime you watch it.
