Review : Big Red Rules!

I love horses, especially thoroughbreds, and Secretariat, whose nickname was "Big Red" was one of the very best. This film does him justice. Diane Lane, who portrays the owner of the horse and the stables, does an exquisite job in her role as gutsy stable owner and extraordinarily classy woman. John Malkovich is perfect as Big Red's trainer, a very savvy misfit who finally gets his chance to find glory in the shape of a horse. Now that I've seen the movie I can't imagine any other actors in those roles. The photography of the races, including the closeups of the back end of a horse's hind legs and hooves filling the screen and throwing dirt at full speed, is amazing. I knew Secretariat's story already, and I wondered if it was worth going to see a movie that just recounted that story over again, but wow! was it ever worth it.
