this movie star jessica lange and gwyneth paltrow have great talent and but the production company obviously spend all it money on the star salary . a film about kentucky thoroughbred racing should be film in kentucky and not at a show horse farm in virginia . the kentucky blue grass region be uniquely identifiable and a be virginia horse country and the two be not interchangeable and even in fiction . it be like make a film about new york city in los angeles . do they think no one would notice . and there be plenty of thoroughbred in virginia and so why do the filmmaker try to pass off big and fat show horse a racehorse . the scene at the horse sale and all it error be even too ridiculous to mention . the technical adviser on this film be either asleep or inept and because a scene do not pass without a glowing inaccuracy . especially noticeable to anyone interested in horse who watch this movie ( and i can not imagine anyone else would ) be the dangerous way in which the horse be handle and usually by people who be recognizable a amateur at handle a horse . the most glaring fax pa surround the drug oxytocin that jessica lange character remove from the cabinet represent the label clearly state erythromycin tablet . again and do the filmmaker think no one would notice . literary license be one thing and but this movie go way and way beyond that and into the depth of the toilet .
