Doping is cool?
22 January 2016
Warning: Spoilers
I don't have a full scale review here. I'm not a movie critic, however, I wanted to document few impressions I have about the movie. So I decided this page is the best place for it. It certainly contains spoilers. To begin with, this movie is actually pretty good. Quite funny and interesting plot. The couple of comments I have are: 1) It sort of portrayed that doping yourself to win cycling races is cool. I used to argue that, but it is generally against societal norms, so it's a bit strange. This reminded me of Lance Armstrong scandal and backlash, also about Olympic athletes. 2) Then I had an issue about why there is so much cheating going on in modern movies. But then I thought, yeah you gotta have a plot. Besides, Sam Rockwell's wife is the most unpleasant character in the movie. She appears to me as a feminist, independent, self-reliant woman. And look at what this philosophy made of her. -Thanks
