EP:10 - Australian Phar Lap?

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.
