Synopsis

"A Generation of Pride" Penny Chenery was originally an ordinary housewife. After his father fell ill, he handed over the family business to her. How is Penny's performance in the face of many difficulties? In the history of horse racing, a North American thoroughbred racehorse was a hit. Its name was "Brave Ruler", but it was kept on the farm because of injury. The business of the racecourse declined. In 1968, Penny decided to choose one or two mares to pair with Brave Ruler and gave birth to a chestnut foal. Elizabeth Ham used to be a secretary at Penny's father's racetrack, so she named the pony "secretary". At the age of three, "Secretary" took part in the preliminary contest of Kentucky Derby in the United States, and only got the third place. At the beginning of the final, she ran at the end. Later, she accelerated all the way to win the race in less than two minutes, which also set a miracle for 28 years. After that, it won the champion of the Porenis Competition, and its photos appeared on the covers of famous magazines such as Time Magazine, Newsweek and Sports Illustrated, becoming a household name star, which made Penny's career brilliant for a while.

movie highlights

horseshoes are everywhere, clanging; Horseheads fly in the wind; Where the sand falls, it splashes everywhere. A tight drum beat, accompanied by dust and shortness of breath, draws a strong sound in the air like an iron horse. The finish line is just ahead, sprint! The BMW, which is under threat and rushing at will, doesn't care about the cameras that follow and follow. When they are in full swing, they will even get carried away and kick the expensive equipment that is too tight. This will certainly hurt the stingy production company, but for the audience waiting to watch the excitement, such a heartbeat rhythm will inevitably bring more immersive feeling.

people and animals, dreams never die. It's not a novel inspirational story. Under the control of Randall Wallace (the original author of Brave Heart and Pearl Harbor), it's even more magnificent. This is the first time Wallace has directed a script written by others. The story takes place in 1973, and the focus of the film is the ——Secretariat talented horse racing that won the Kentucky Jockey Club, Belmont Jockey Club and the British Grand Jockey Club for three consecutive championships. Within five weeks, I traveled to three states, and broke the historical record with fearless spirit under the unfavorable situation of being regarded as the target of the horse racing industry. It really can be said to be "once in a hundred years". And this is not the key. The most important thing is: "There are always swift horses, but Bole is not." Because of the persistence of a young woman who knew nothing about horse racing at first, the best running horse in history avoided a mediocre life. Isn't this a miracle in itself?

Miracles have their regular forms after all. Perhaps because of this, the story that happened on the racetrack is very similar to the experience of its predecessor, the "sea biscuit" in Pentium Age. It is also a famous door, and its beauty is natural; Also relegated to the stable, looked down upon; The same is true, great joy and great sorrow; Equally brilliant and fascinating; It is also a blockbuster, stinging the nerves of those snobs. However, compared with the little horse that inspired the whole America in the Great Depression, the Secretariat more handsome and its owner is undoubtedly more beautiful and charming.

Master Xing said, "People don't have ideals. What's the difference between them and salted fish?" This leap to the other side of the ocean, there is a more theme and a more well-known conclusion-"American Dream". Dreams shine into inspirational movies over and over again. Although the situation is different and the characters are different, they have the same quality in the long run: the adaptation of real people and stories. This story must be clear in paragraphs and rigorous in structure; There must be a wave of unrest and a wave of tears; It is bound to challenge all the impossible in the process, and will eventually let the weak win (otherwise why bother); Moreover, most of its owners have apportioned a name called "Disney".

I don't know whether I was jealous of the freedom of Pentium Years before the Oscar, or whether I hired a strong producer of Miracle on Ice and Newcomer Baseball. Disney, who caters to all ages and focuses on the family, took a fancy to another miracle in the history of horse racing this time. However, unlike most inspirational films "Masculinity, Accompanied by Red Flowers", its protagonist is a woman. A beautiful woman. A beautiful woman with mature charm. In the world of horse racing, this woman named Penny Chenelli has a famous name-"First Lady". Let's not mention the feat of "First Lady" who made history by overcoming all difficulties as a slim woman. The most important thing is that she is a school of her own among the dusty stables and has become an eye-catching scenery. After watching her husband josh brolin ("No Country for Old Men") jump to the front line, will diane lane, a hot mom with excellent acting skills, also welcome a new spring in her career through this film with the main theme?

Reprinted one of the film reviews:

The Pride of Horse: Fighting Spirit on the Field

The film did not give a traditional close-up of failure, but held high the banner of passionate fighting spirit from beginning to end, which made people look at the birth of success from another angle.

compared with the traditional legendary inspirational films, we all have to go through a ups and downs, which can be described as "being born after death". The control of passion has the characteristics of normal distribution. The reason why "A Generation of Pride Horses" was filled with tears may not be an achievement beyond the limit, but was urged by a kind of fighting spirit that lingered in the film and burned silently. It can be said that the legend of this Secretariat horse racing is interpreted by the director as a vigorous history of fighting spirit. The perseverance revealed in the heroine Penny confirms this conjecture.

The plot of the film is very compact, and Pinza's powerful narrative keeps the audience's eyes on every match. It's really like entering a racetrack to see the elegance of the Secretariat. In my opinion, it is the heroine's personal action that drives the climax of the story. In addition to seeing the tough style that women rarely have, her delicate analytical ability and burning fighting spirit are fully revealed in the film. This is why the film is so attractive. The passion of horse racing is intense, but the fighting spirit of people who have been unable to extinguish it is still calculating the possibility of burning more violently at every seemingly impossible stage. In the movie, Penny said to her horse on the eve of the Secretariat's triple crown: "I have won, and at this stage, I have not given up. I'm competing with myself. Now it's your turn to play. " The fighting spirit of man and horse has begun to relay the baton in spirit. Perhaps we all need this psychological state before getting cold feet, whether we win or lose. We won't know the result until we start. And recognize the purpose of winning, at least lose and be convinced.

The positive effect created by the film belongs to everyone, and it may make us feel a little wishful thinking and hot-headed. But at the very least, it truly and objectively reproduces what we should think of when facing challenges. What we can't lack is the fighting spirit, like the Secretariat's fighting spirit on the field, and the fighting spirit that is not easy to bow down like the heroine. Full of fighting spirit, just like "a single spark can start a prairie fire"!

Reprint the second film review:

Run, baby

After the earlier release of "The Pride of the Horse", although the box office results were not a big hit, the word-of-mouth soared. Many mainstream American media even predicted that they would be nominated for the best picture Oscar, and Diane Lane, the leading actor, would win the title of Best Actress. Today, the attitude of the academic school has begun to appear, and "Social Network" still leads with a huge difference without any suspense. "A generation of arrogant horses" is missing. Of course, "arrogant horses" can't be "dark horses", but this is not the era when awards can tell everything. In addition, the premature screening date and the low-profile inspirational film type, judging from its "bid for the Olympic Games", are indeed a little short of maturity. To this end, such a result is also in line with the trend and can be fully accepted by the audience who love this film. It is enough to gain a true and pure touch from it, experience the free and easy and wild, and the spirit of never compromising and never giving up. There is no dogmatic truth, no flashy artistic decoration, but a true story, simple, simple and not lacking in enthusiasm.

The theme of horse racing has always been the missing genre on the screen, and Pentium Age is naturally a classic that has to be mentioned. A generation of arrogant horses is almost the same as the former in terms of the overall structure of the film. Horse racing owner, rider and horse trainer, these three core figures, are the soul of the film. Around the absolute protagonist of horse racing itself, it is slowly spread out in time, training, competition and glory. Inspirational films are so direct and sincere, whether it is simple proverbs or abstruse philosophies, they are bred in ordinary life behaviors that the public can involve or participate in. For this reason, in most cases, the audience can easily find out every nerve of the film's connotation. It is one thing to know clearly, and it is another to understand thoroughly. It is often said more readily than done, and this dilemma of dry thunder and no rain is also to be spurned and corrected by inspirational films. When the heart is shocked and the soul is singing, it is probably not far from action.

Different from the Pentium Age, The Pride of the Horse stripped the skin of the background of the times, instead of the inspiring force born under the economic depression. The problem that Penny, the protagonist, has to face has nothing to do with national honor or people's sufferings, but only whether her family can continue to have a bright future. As a traditional housewife, it is the most boring and indispensable duty to take care of children and husbands. When I was young, my dreams and throbbing gradually faded away, and everything was engraved with the brand of step by step. When her father's passionate career was about to turn into dust and copper stink, she resolutely chose to stand up and erect a towering banner, shouldering all the heavy responsibilities and hopes alone. For Penny, the beginning of her inspirational story is close to sunset, while for Secretary, its immortal faith and glory have just begun. The English original name of "A Generation of Pride Horse" is taken from the name of this legendary racing horse "Secret". Never born, you are not valued, you emerge from your infancy, and you stand out from the crowd until the end. All this seems to have been arranged by God in advance. And this is not a story line exclusive to inspirational films. After all, the reason why "inspirational" is called "inspirational" is that its ultimate success is inevitable and popular.

The film vividly depicts the details, which is why "The Pride of the Horse" can make people so excited. Several complete horse races, the capture of the lens is smart and gorgeous, and the editing of the picture is bright and refreshing, which explains the suffocating tension on the field to the fullest. Secret's deep breathing, methodical pace and the vibration of every muscle on his body deeply attract the audience's attention to the film. Looking back on "East Wind Rain", the short "running dog scene" is also the place that impressed me the most in the whole movie. It can be said that the Secretariat Penny, and the eye contact and game in the evening are even more displayed. They are indeed a whole. They all long for victory and refuse to think about failure; They believe in miracles and believe that they can create miracles. Of course, Penny can't really be as simple as Secretary. Every family has a hard time. Penny has to face not only the success or failure of the competition, but also the profit or loss of interests, but also the sense of family belonging that is gradually alienated. However, at this point, the film is still limited, and no more bridges are taken out to explain it. This also makes the core of "The Pride of the Horse" simpler and purer, less worldly troubles, and weakens the feelings except for the Secretariat.

The Pride of the Horse has moved me so much, and another reason lies in its soundtrack. When the atmosphere is heroic, it is like The Lord of the Rings. The composition of several dusk racecourses is beautiful and fascinating. When it is gentle and peaceful, it is like a small jasper, which makes people's hearts relax. Although I know in my heart that Secretariat win the game in the end, I can't help worrying about it when I look at its steps and breathe heavily. Of course, I didn't expect it at all, and I won it so perfectly and so heartily. Penny's actor, Diane Lane, played impeccably, especially her affectionate eyes and spirits, and communicated with the secret's soul. Personally, invictus has always been listed as a textbook-level work of modern inspirational films, and The Pride of the Horse has obviously shaken the position of the former in my heart. Perhaps, the legend of Secret and Penny has inspired generations, but today, at least they have inspired me. Run, like a secret.
