Given actor Will Smith's box office appeal and the National Football League's off-the-charts popularity Mens Under Armour Fat Tire Sandal Grey White Online , the feature film Concussion will likely enjoy commercial success when it opens on Christmas Day.
One family in particular won't be waiting in line to buy tickets. Last week, the Chicago Tribune and the New York Times reported that the widow and son of Dave Duerson, an 11-year NFL veteran who committed suicide in 2011, feel that Duerson was unfairly portrayed in the movie.
Specifically, Duerson's survivors feel that several fictitious scenes make him appear resistant toward brain research doctor Bennet Omalu and insensitive toward fellow player and eventual suicide victim Andre Watters.
Not surprisingly, both Sony Pictures Entertainment and director Peter Landesman stand by the film's portrayal of Duerson. "… People go to [feature films] not to digest information and data but to have an emotional experience Mens Under Armour Fat Tire Sandal Black For Sale ," Landesman said. "The movie is emotionally and spiritually accurate all the way through."
Landesman's answer is glib, condescending and amoral. Of course feature films allow directors some degree of creative license. But not all instances of creative license are created equal.
Exaggerating the previous ineptitude of Hickory High School's basketball team, for example, simply heightened Hoosiers fans' anticipation of the David-beats-Goliath -story they knew was coming all along.
And inventing a line of dialogue that ended a -grueling conditioning session in the movie Miracle simply emphasized the role nationalistic team unity played in perhaps the greatest sports upset of the 20th century - the US men's Olympic hockey team's 1980 win over the Soviet Union.
But fashioning a script to include what amounts to a character assassination for the sake of cinematic irony (a narrative device Landesman has used to defend the Duerson portrayal) seems like poor taste - even by Hollywood's standards.
For obvious reasons, Duerson's family can't discuss Concussion in a totally objective manner. But the same can be said of the movie's profit-driven producers. Beginning on Christmas Day, its viewers will decide which group to believe.
MANILA under armour curry 3 shoes sale , Aug. 16 (Xinhua) -- The Philippine government on Wednesday urged its more than 10 million citizens working or living outside the country "to heighten their vigilance" in the wake of terrorist attacks abroad.
