Will you pretentious film intellects please back off. What is wrong with a feel good movie that apeals to your so called middle America. These people buy more movie tickets than you do.There are times when this type off movie works. Sure the book has more depth, How many off you read it? To bash this movie because it doesn't meet your intellectual sensitivities misses the point. Movies have always been there to give something to the"common folk". There has not been an outstanding "intellectual movie in years" by the way.

Or by hasard was it address to me?
I read the book and yes, it WAS better than the movie. It was an interesting historical non-fiction book about an interesting time and place. "Doesn't meet my intellectual sesitivities"? The movie's packed with rah-rah jingoistic grandstanding. It's feel good claptrap for a society looking desperately for escapism and feeling good about itself for something, ANYthing.No intellectual movies in years? I kinda doubt that. But even so, I don't think it's a question of intelectualism, it's a question of quality. Seabiscuit was tedious and obvious, taking no intelectual or artistic chances. It was a gritty and difficult time for America and hores racing back then was a violent and gritty world, but this film depicted it far too rosy and Disni-fied.
Who wants to see a movie designed simply for "the common folk"? How dull.
Most movies ARE designed for the common folk. Most movies suck. Most movies are forgotten 5 years after their release.
