Unfortunately, Atrocities, I read the book after I watched the movie, and I became very, very disappointed in the movie. I know there's some give and take in "historical" movies when it comes to the truth, but they really butchered all of the facts when they made this movie. And I can't believe the author had anything to do with the movie, but her name was in the credits. I know the movie was inspirational, and I felt good about it up to the point when I picked up the book. I'm just so bummed about it I'm not even thinking about buying the dvd.

And Puke, according to the book, Seabiscuit had a heart attack when he was about 14, which is about half the lifespan of a horse according to the book. Also, what rocketman type trailer have you seen? Sounds interesting, but I haven't seen anything like that. The only trailer I've seen that's got me stroked is the one for Troy. Can't wait to see that movie.
