Money Can't Buy Me Love

Rating: 8/10 (9 January 2015)

This is a relationship movie. The background action that moves the story forward is about a young man's desire to become an Olympic Champion Wrestler.
If you like "Psycho" you will like this movie. And like "Psycho" it is a true story.
The movie unfolds in a disturbingly subtle and harmless manner. Because of this, the "action movie" theater goers will be lulled into boredom. They won't see that all of this is a "set up" for the horror that is to be.
This film explores the development and motivations of male bonding. And it depicts how males can fall into or reject unhealthy relationships with other men. These relationships can be described as: Brother, Son, Coach, Mentor (Teacher).
It also shows how inherited wealth can rob a person of authentic achievement. And these particular people may then set about to become authentic, goal oriented individuals without going through the school of "hard knocks". The result is empty trophy gathering for these privileged few. So, this movie has a moral and a warning to those who are wealthy.
No, this is not a "Rocky" film. It is rather a tragedy, a true story that will make you think. If you like to analyze relationships; figuring out what motivates whomever; you will like this film.
Go see it.
