In this episode of Luke Who’s Watching, I’m going to talk about 2003 film, Seabiscuit.

Firstly is Seabiscuit, Americas Phar Lap? Quite possibly, much like Phar Lap, Seabiscuit was a hero for the common man during the great recession.

Now to the film, this is a rather ‘stock’ sports film, you have a down and out team, Seabiscuit and Red. You’ve got a ‘super coach’ that no one has really given a chance or rates very highly, in this case that’s Tom Smith, and finally we have the hopeful/enthusiastic owner, Charles Howard.

It’s also got the typical heart break, triumph, defeating of the villain then a final heroic comeback, plus some training montages!

Visually I think this looks rather good and the racing scenes are put together pretty well, so worth a look I think.
