the premise of this movie be so similar to 2003 seabiscuit and you would think youre watch yet another biography of a real horse in some extraordinary and inspiring film that might just make you want to head down to the near race course and observe a real race . but dreamer ( or sonador a the horse be name ) take a slightly different angle in this tale about second chance and comeback . if compare to seabiscuit and yes and we have a horse with great potential face with the trouble of break a leg during a competitive race . a with all race horse and this mean instant death and a they have no future value and and be breed for the sole purpose of race . we also have a superb trainer and ben crane and play by kurt russell and and the doctor ( holmes osborne ) and the write off jockey ( freddy rodriguez ) and the stable hand ( luis guzman ) and etc . but here where the similarity end . dreamer be a more personal film and with family friendly character and like the daughter ( dakota fanning ) and the wife ( elizabeth shue ) and and the grandfather ( kris kristofferson ) . nurse the horse back to health have actually bring the family closer together and and that in itself make this film quite cliché in it many be there do that before moment to touch . dakota fanning have hold her own against father figure heavyweight like robert de niro and denzel washington and and tom cruise and though many would have point out that she have rival naomi watt for the 2005 scream queen honor with her performance in war of the world . here and fan have return to more credible acting and albeit in a safer role . dreamer represent inspire by a true story and be a heartwarming tale about believe in oneself and have dream and believe that you can achieve and and take action to achieve those dream . while watch the movie and i can not help but chuckle at the parallel in see how my team and i be stick together and just like those character and in want to see our dream of make a short film and and enter it into competition ( in this case and the breeder cup ) come to a reality . it that kind of film and an inspire one . it might be clichéd and the premise might be too good to be true and but hey and success might come to those who dare to dream and believe and and more importantly and do .
