from the man who brought you BRAVEHEART and WE WERE SOLDIERS...
starring...
Diane Lane (Oscar Nominee)
John Malkovich (Oscar Nominee)
James Cromwell (Oscar Nominee)
New York Times raves -
intense trailer LINK
People were hating on it the other day, but this is an appreciation-anticipation thread for it. Who else is excited to see this?

"Secretariat" seems to feed into the popular "Blind Side" subgenre, an inspirational sports story based on real-life events involving a spitfire mom. "Secretariat" could do for Diane Lane what "The Blind Side" did for Sandra Bullock

I'm sure I'll see it eventually, but I wouldn't say I'm "excited" about seeing a movie about a horse.

Horseys! Yay!
I refuse to watch The Blind Side (I'm a straight, non-Christian adult).
I am foaming at the mouth for The Sekritairyat.

I didn't watch the inspirational horse story the first time when it was called Seabiscuit and I'm not going to watch it this time either.

I will see it in theaters for two reasons.
1. My wife wants to see it.
2. John Malkovich is in it.

She is a better actress.

I was excited reading your post, because I thought you might actually go a whole thread without asking a question
Then I get to the end and see:

My grandmother, my great-grandmother, Uncle Richard (he's gay), a guy I used to work with when I managed a movie theatre who swears he's not gay but loves showtunes and Barbara Streisand.
Just to name a few.

Even when they try to make Diane Lane look older and more homely, she's still smoking hot.
And, before you go see this movie, you've got to read " Pure Heart," a short story by William Nack. It's one of the best sports stories ever written and will make you a huge Secretariat fan.

His body was trucked immediately to Lexington, Ky., where Dr. Thomas Swerczek, a professor of veterinary science at the University of Kentucky, performed the necropsy.
All of the horse's vital organs were normal in size except for the heart. "We were all shocked," Swerczek said. "I've seen and done thousands of autopsies on horses, and nothing I'd ever seen compared to it. The heart of the average horse weighs about nine pounds. This was almost twice the average size, and a third larger than any equine heart I'd ever seen. And it wasn't pathologically enlarged. All the chambers and the valves were normal. It was just larger. I think it told us why he was able to do what he did."
