We humans sometimes forget we aren’t the be all and end all of life on this planet. Our evolution has allowed us a brain of unrivalled capacity; the gift of conscious thought has led to the devising of culture and politics and has allowed us to form complex emotions like love, pity and hate. Scientists say the animals can’t feel those like we do. Yet there lies an endurance of such magnitude in some animals that we cannot get close to. Secretariat had that endurance.

“Secretariat” offers viewers a mixed though inspiring experience that will leave them feeling empowered. The decidedly PG film about the legendary winner of the 1973 Triple Crown features Diane Lane as Penny Chenery, the woman who resurrected her father’s failing farm and raced the famed American Thoroughbred racehorse Secretariat, and John Malkovich as the horse’s trainer, Lucien Laurin.

In an attempt to save the farm, Penny takes a gamble and stakes the estate on the prospects of a soon-to-be-born foal with what she believes is great lineage. Though her choices put her domestic life in jeopardy, Penny continues to travel between her home in Colorado and the Virginia estate to raise a stellar horse. She picks down-and-out, over-the-top trainer...
