Well that went well.

This film is an emotional poignant look at a subject that touches all America. Wow! 1st -let me saw that after Will in "Ali", I realize that he can really tap into real people. He can get there, transform and leave you speechless in his portrayals. He is a Master of the Craft and can reach in and touch the soul of the Source Reference while astounding you with minor characterizations (rubbing of his hands and the other " oddities" that make all is us human). He gets it. Humanity is humanity. He us the Epitome of Shakespeare's writing about Humanity. Will is no fore a Shakespearean Actor as Shakespeare's was a real Psychologist. Neither of them profess to be the latter thing but both get there and command our attention and demand our respect not because they are so talented (both are) but because they are both undeniably right.
I was in awe of Will Smith working his magic in " Concussions". A story about an accomplished man wanting to do the right thing because it was right. That's the crux of Dr. Omalu Bennett. He just wanted to tell the truth and idealistically hold onto his Hippocratic Oath with a iron fist and White Knuckles. Because if this film, I will read the Source Material-" Game Brain". Will showed us everything about Dr. Bennett to include his motive behind his research. I loved it! Wow! Dr. Bennett should be proud that he was portrayed as what he is-An Anerican Hero ( and I like Football). In fact, I cried like a baby when I got cut from my High School Football team after tryouts. BTW-I'm 51 now and the pain still makes me pause for a moment. Of course, I found Lacrosse (America's 1st Team Sport) and carry that torch even today. Can you imagine the torch that the players that died carried. BTW-I remember Junior Seau. Nuf Sed on that.
This film was for parents. This film was to show that "..you can fight City Hall and win..." This film is tell and/or remind Coroprations like Big Tobacco and Exxon-Valdez that sometimes things hurt people. This film helped ease my mind because my 10-year-old wants to play contact football and my 9-year-old talks about being an Atlanta Falcon because if what he sees on the TV screen. This film is for every Sports enthusiast and fan to let them know there is more to the game than what they see. This film says "Hey, the greatest enemy to this game is nit what you can see but it's what's you can't see"
This film may have just out on the blast the work of a man that wanted to help a Sport that he didn't know and didn't even love. This film may have saved my kids life...and I'm OK with that. I'm okay because now I got into helping my son with eyes wide open instead of eyes wide shut. Will Smith, thank you for this film. Dr. Omalu Bennett , thank you for your work . I will tell you that every tear you cried is a tear that I don't have to cry....neither do the 82% of Football Fanatiks!
