Default Murderball

I had heard about this and people raving about it. I like documentaries so it had that going for it but I was just wondering how it could be as good as people were making it out to be.

I thought I would like it but think..."Eh". I loved it. Great movie. The characters are really interesting especially that Joe guy whip the GIANT chip on his shoulder. Very touching personal stories two.


I might even buy a copy of this one.

Supersize Me is good, so is March of the Penguins, but Murderball blows them away for documentaries. (yes wheelchair rugby)

WOAH NOW BUDDY WATCH YA WORDS


Its RUGBY not football ITS RUGBY

Its not some pussy ass sport where everyones wearing pads and helmets and they have to take a break after each play and know exactly where there going.

Its rugby where theres no pads no timeouts no break even if someone gets hurt, they just lay there till they can get up or theres a penalty and then they have someone help them up, Its where the only thing that can by the rules stop you from playing is a broken bone or visable blood (wrap it up and even if the bandage is soaked red its still ok). Its rugby where its two 40 minute halves of constant running and calling out plays while moving and adapting to the things around you. Its rugby where each player has to be able to support the guy next to him and has to be able to run, pass, score, tackle. It rugby where we dont use blockers cause its illegal and wed rather slam into our opponet at break neck speed.

but as for this its wheelchair rugby where I admire these guys more then anything else and they would feel way more heatidly about someone calling it football then I would. Its a sport that when I eventually break my neck playing college rugby (preferably ill break it further down the line of my rugby carrer) but it the sport that I plan to play when Im eventually put in a wheelchair.


But its cool just watch what ya say.

But its an amazing movie about triumph and overcoming difficulties and pain and sorrows and rehab and stories of great succes, and all together just a badass gladiator version of my beloved sport.

If you havent seen it yet go see it and you will be amazed.
