more unnecessary lies

Rating: 1/10 (4 June 2005)

Why use real stories if you are going to "make it better" with lies? Just makeup your own original story and leave history alone. Couldn't we have cheered on the underdog without defaming the character of his opponent? It is an unnecessary detraction from the storyline to make it so black and white, feeds unsuspecting readers a lie that a generation comes to believe as truth, and creates a great deal of sorrow and pain for those who knew and loved Max Baer. Like a Beautiful Mind the truth has been twisted to tell a good story. Read the real stories of Nash and Baer. Nash's life was far more interesting and complex, he paid many times for his disease and certainly did not sit around the house and the college all those years till he could get back his life. It was a process that was far more interesting, less beautiful, and more really like schizophrenia than Howard's production. People said "He made me really know what it is like to be schizophrenic." Ha ha. Read the real story if you REALLY want to know what it is like to be schizophrenic. And look at the truth about the evil "Black Bart" Baer before deciding about the man. Howard makes pretty pictures that paint lies as truth and sells it to millions to make money, not to tell a true story.
