Secretariat is a Disney movie that plays on all the feel-good emotions that come when you take a chance, follow your heart, and are willing to do all the hard work that comes with it.  This is based on the true story of the horse who still holds all the records, and the woman who believed in him.  Diane Lane stars, she’s always fantastic. It’s a wonderful script, well done, and beautiful to watch. Since we already know the story there are no surprises – but it’s well worth watching.  John Malkovich is charming as the horse’s trainer.
