Movie Reviews of Bigger, Stronger, Faster*
Movie Review: Chris Bell nails it.....
Summary: 5 Stars
Awesome, outstanding, can't miss!!!
Those three phrases best describe this documentary.
Chris Bell really, really nailed the subject of steroids on the head with his movie. His first hand knowledge of steroids and how to get them, use them, their effects on the body and the effect they have on your personality and family life really make the movie.
Every athlete should watch this movie at least once!
He interviews all the right people in the movie, trying to get a prospective view of the drug from all walks of life.
Best documentary that I've seen in 2008!!
Highly, highly recommended!!
Movie Review: He opened up his entire family.
Summary: 5 Stars
The director does an incredible job of informing the audience on many different aspects of steriods, from politics to scientific to social pressure. It must have been extremely difficult to open up his family about the use of steriods. He had good parents and yet it was so eye opening as to how the pressures of being "BIGGER STRONGER FASTER" impacted him. It's well directed with animated visual aids, pop references, and humor. It educated me and at the same time, I was consistantly engaged. Being involved in poltics, being a former producer, and a current rugby player I found it enthralling on a myriad of levels. Thank you, Mr. Bell and the Bell family.Movie Review: Biceps in Balance!
Summary: 5 Stars
Bigger, Stronger, Faster is a well done, honestly written documentary that avoids the usual hyperbole involved in the steroid debate. It's balanced and personal and deals with real lives of people who you know and with whom you work and live. It stays away exclusive focus on steriod usage in the upper eschalon of athletes and bodybuilders. And the personal struggles and the willingness to do whatever at whatever risk to achieve a goal is both insightful as well as a bit chilling. I left watching this a little less clear about my opinion than I was before -- and that's a sign of a well done presentation.Movie Review: good movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This was an excellent movie. Chris Bell took a complex subject and presented a balanced, informative product that addressed the major issues involved.
I like how he explained what steroids do as well as showing the hypocrisy of those who put the current restrictions in place and ignored the advice of the medical doctors who testified.
I also like how he addressed the concerns of those parents who are against steroid use for any reason.
I watched it with my own children and it led to an interesting discussion which we'll repeat periodically I'm sure.
Movie Review: Excellent Documentary
Summary: 5 Stars
The best documentary I've seen in years. I recommend this to everyone, whether you're interested in the U.S. drug policy controversy, from one side or the other, or if you just want to learn something or see something interesting.
I can't understand how the creator got some of these people to say the things they did on camera, and I have to give serious credit to Don Hooton for standing up and debating the issues relating to the death of his son, clearly knowing the interviewer disagreed with him.
An excellent use of 2 hours of my life.
