I give to
this movie – even if somehow historical – 3 gallons of good dark beer and the
invite to watch it in company of good friends, it’s in fact the story of a very
famous race horse who competed and won plenty races during the time of the great
depression in our country and gave hopes that our wealth could return available
to all who would work hard for it.
One quote
that still sticks in my mind is when the rider – later badly injured to the
point to be told that he could never ride a horse again – says that a roman
emperor said once that Rome was built "brick
after brick "
and this made me think to my eternal impatience for something to happen every
time I want something of any kind.
In other
words this movie gives a very good explanation of the American attitude about
the fact that "nothing is impossible if you
really want it and you are willing to work hard for it" that’s the
very reason that's created the power of the USA in every field it has wanted to
be in.
To me this
explains too the reason why our country has fallen – again – in a depression of
financial nature, because of the lack of any regulation in the financial
markets, where everyone could become super-wealthy just by showing up, pretty
much.
Aside from
the teaching message of this movie, there are great horse-riding scenes and
deep moments of human to animal (horse)
relationship and connection/understanding.
In other
words this movie has my advice to be watched not only for the reasons I just
listed, but very much also because it gives a perfect picture of my life since
my debilitating accident, that only with my hard work will be fully overcome,
given that the impossible simply doesn’t exist.
