One of the best movies I have ever seen, but maybe I'm biased

Rating: 10/10 (6 December 2006)

On a rainy evening, November 14, 1970, I first learned of the tragedy that ultimately pulled me to attend Marshall University. I attended Marshall in the rebuilding days of the mid 70's, when many of the emotions so brilliantly captured in the movie were still evident around campus. We Are Marshall captures this moment in Marshall and sports history with uncanny accuracy.
The film very vividly depicts that fateful night in 1970, but that is only the beginning of the story. Coach Jack Lengyel is played incredibly by Matthew McConaughey and Matthew Fox as Red Dawson is equal in his brilliance in his role. The rest of the supporting staff rounds out a very well acted film.
The storyline is as close to what actually happened as one would hope in a true story.
Overall, I was extremely pleased with the entire experience presented in this film. Tears were shed, but that is to be expected from anyone of the Herd Faithful.
We Are.....MARSHALL!
