BigPen, I continue to be surprised at why some are critical of the film. I know of the comments and thoughts regarding the film, especially from the negative side. I am aware of them because of many of what I know to be factual mistruths about the movie. One of the things I am speaking of is the comments regarding paid endorsements, etc... I know that to be emphatically untrue. I saw the movie with Kendall Cross who has been responsible for many athletes seeing the movie out of friendship. I think that those having difficulty with it also have difficulty with the many "real" NCAA, and Olympic Champions that have endorsed the movie. I have also spoken, again, personally and face to face with Danny Hodge and Kenny Monday on several occasions. I know that those individuals also speak highly of the movie because they thought highly of it. I am pleased to be in good company with many great wrestlers and athletes that have supported it. I didn't want to reply like this but had to make my comment due to the fact that I could not respond to you off line through the email list. I only challenge people, to ask themselves why so many athletes are supporting the "reality" of the movie and the story itself? Especially since all you have to do is when attending a national tournament is ask most of these athletes themselves. Most of the time they are there and will give you their honest opinion. I have found that their opinion is exactly what is on the promotional material. Oh Yea, why should someone watch it? Simply put it is the most accurate portrayal of wrestling I have ever seen in a movie and is one of the most thought provoking stories in a long time, especially when it comes to fathers or mothers for that matter trying to live their dreams through their kids. Just seems like you can do T&A along with fornication and a high school student sleeping around with an older woman and that be considered "good" for wrestling and another movie that shows the "horrors" of inappropriate lifestyles and behaviors is a "bad" movie. Go Figure. By the way I would love to debate the issue, for fun, if you or any other so desire but I think to carry it on on the forum is not necessary. Email me off line, which is of course others choose to carry this on on this forum in a civilized way.
