I am going to talk about a very nice movie that we saw the last week in our english class: Secretariat. The movie consists in the history of a woman that’s received an inheritance from her grandfather, an old stable with many horses. One of the horses had pregnant and it has a little horse that be adopted by the name of Secretariat. It was trained by an experimented man who knows about horses races training, and with the time Secretariat had converted in a famous fast horse that wins a lot of races sequentially. The very interesting of this movie, and the stuff that I am going to analyze, is the brute change of life the protagonists lived, Penny Chanery, because famous obtained by the horse. She lived changes in her profession, family and personality.
First, the profession of her is totally oriented to racing, when Secretariat starts to win. He changed her normal life, with a common profession and chores worries about life, to a very quickly and competitive environment where the mainly objective is win and take the attention of racing fans. A clearly example of that are the apparitions in public interview against their opponents.
By other side, an area of her life that suffers a great impact is their family. Is evident the great distance that be established between her and her childs and husband. She abandoned them; with the intention of prove Secretariat skills in racing, and when she discovered that the horse could be a good business, she continues using secretariat to win. In this point is very contrast and sadly to her husband, because before they have a good relationship, but far away house the contact is minimum.
Finally, internally her personality turns very aggressive. At the beginning of the movie, we could see a woman friendly, familiar, hopeful, positive, entrepreneurial, etc. With the changes of plot, she starts to worry about Secretariats victory and take public verbal combats with their opponents. She changed her point of view about racing and forgets their initial goals and thrusters.
I guess, concluding with this analysis, despite with cannot saw the real final of the history (referred to what happen with protagonist family and Secretariat) because the final is very happy, we need to take an account the events in our life could make strong changes in our behavior and actions. It is an example that fame could change anyone, and the real identity needs to be preserved. Under my criteria, never, any successful, indifferently of whatever it means could change our professional (if it is good) path, family relation or personality.
Actually I agree with Ariel, as it was a very entertaining movie, which caught our attention very well, which address a problem often seen in our macho society where hard to see and accept the triumph of a woman in a competition made only for men. At the end is evidence that these obstacles can be overcome with much effort and dedication.

For this movie is important to learn what the women want and the conditions who she fight; this is a interesting life history when the conditions of the life sometimes need to do a big change and this change have fight with the family, society and other "stones and the street"; for conclution this movie is a good movie to think what the people want to fielt happy.
ResponderEliminarThis film gives us a good education, the main issue is to be optimistic, this woman always thought positively and believed in his horse.
ResponderEliminarLife presents us with opportunities which we must build on and risk everything because opportunities come only once.
Seeing the faith that was always the owner of secretariat in each race is the same with which we must move us to achieve our goals.
Very good movie, give us some lessons about life and about how we need to overcome every daily situation, In a time that was difficult for a woman take the business of her family ahead and get success.
