Seabiscuit

Last Sunday night, Heather and I saw “Seabiscuit.” I had read the book earlier this summer and was really looking forward to the movie. I wasn’t disappointed. Seabiscuit was a down and out horse who brought together a broken-hearted millionaire, a displaced horseman, and a vagabond jockey into a family of sorts. Desperate people caught up in the Great Depression found hope in the exploits of this little horse. Usually Hollywood has to severely alter a true story in order to make it more “dramatic.” This one didn’t need much alteration.
