Secretariat
15 years ago
I rarely post journals, but I had to comment that I went to see Secretariat and I really enjoyed it.
I went into the movie expecting it to concentrate a lot more on the people and not the horse, and I was right about that so it didn't surprise me.
But in my opinion they kept the horse in the story enough to keep it interesting. The movie always had my attention and never put me to sleep, and was quite masterfully dramatic, and yet not too far over the top with the dramatic moments.
At the beginning and end of the film they used a few verses from the bible book of Job (39, 19-24 if your curious) for dramatic effect, which actually was a nice touch in my opinion.
And then I found out that there are a good deal of news paper reviewers panning the movie because its .... now get this (TOO RELIGIOUS) O_o And this verse is the only thing that they are sighting.
You have GOT to be kidding me.
Me thinks the anti-religious zealots can go WAAAAAAAY to far.
(To the reviewers) GET OVER IT! It's a masterfully crafted feel good movie which happens to have a bible verse thrown in for dramatic effect.
