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.
