Dreamer: Inspired By a True Story (2005)

I love the movie. A lovely girl who is in love with a house. And dad and mum who love their daughter and help her to realize his dream. The passionate to pursue the winning is also great. Dakota is a actress I like. And I also like her in move Man on Fire. Dakota is doing well in the movie. the music is also great. The scene in the movie is also great. The length is proper for such a story and in a good arrangement. And the family is having trouble in finding the money for the race is impressive. The cost of pursuing the dreamer is sometime expensive. In the end, when we see the victory, we shall also remember all the hard the have met.

Will watch as often as I can.....something about it! I saved to DVR a year ago, and first time I watched, was absolutely freaked in the first 10 minutes, and absolutely fell in love with the movie from there on. I so wish to meet these people who inspired this film, and of course the horse. But for me this will be a dream. Maybe the movies name caught my eye, and the name of the horse in the movie held me. Always been a dreamer ! And stories like this make me believe Dreamers can achieve, which I need. Dakota, Kurt, Elizabeth and Kris....awesome job. Have seen you all over the years in other things, but will NEVER forget you in this. Going to check that 2005 Breeders Cup online. Am very interested in seeing how things continued over the years since.

Much has been made in these pages about this film, as far as not being a true story. This inspired account about an injured horse the Crane family bring back to life, is one of the most engaging films about the racing sport in memory. Of course, this is no "Seabiscuit", but the film makers are not claiming it to be.John Gantins, the director and writer of this picture, knows what to give the public. Aside from the heart warming feeling in the film, he was blessed with a cast that does justice to the material. The love of a young girl for a horse, that by all accounts should have been shot because of the injured it suffered during an accident, is the stuff that makes good family movies. "Dreamer, Inspired by a True Story" is totally dominated by Dakota Fanning's presence in the film. Miss Fanning, is a luminous young actress the camera adores. She is a natural, as she shows in this film. Dakota Fanning has the uncanny ability of being real at all times. Her love for Sonador and her determination to take the horse to the Breeders' race consumes her, as well as her family.Kurt Russell is also good as Cale's father. He is a man of principle who loves what he does best, bringing horses to their full potential. Kris Kristofferson plays the grandfather who wants Cale to succeed and in the process he is reunited with his son. Elizabeth Shue is seen as a mother who has to work to help meet ends when her husband loses his job. David Morse, one of the best character actors around doesn't have much to do, and the same goes for the wonderful Luis Guzman, playing one of the stable men.The film is recommended for families with children. Mr. Gantins created an excellent entertainment that will satisfy young and old because it shows a young girl with a firm resolution to do the right thing for the horse she loves.

First of all I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Each time I've watched it has brought tears to my eyes. I have a lot of experience with thoroughbred horses and could relate to things that they were experiencing. It says that it's based on a true story and in the credits it mentions a trainers name that it's been dedicated to. I was wondering if anyone has more information on the real people that the movie was based on? And the only other thing that I have is that I was checking the goofs that were noticed by people. I'm an expert rider and have ridden races and I can tell you there's a handful of goofs in the race at the end of the movie. Any response would be appreciated. I've been to Keenland, worked there and would like to know more about the people that the story was about. Thanks,John
