Movie Reviews of Brian's Song
Movie Review: This version not as good as the newer one.
Summary: 3 Stars
Many people have told me that the reason for my not liking the original version of "Brian's Song" compared to the newer one is because I saw the ABC version before I saw the original one. That is most likely the case but whatever the reason be, this continues to be my favorite story of all time. The newer version seems to be more emotional and bring about more sorrow which is why I liked it more. It made you feel for Brian Piccolo more as he goes through his trying times. As for those who don't know the story, Brian is a football player who contracts cancer. His enemy turned friend, teammate, and competitor, Gale helps Brian and his wife through the pain of dealing with cancer and this is truly the saddest movie I have ever seen. The new version brought about tears at more than one point in the movie, and it takes a lot for me to cry during a movie. (This is still the only movie to this date that has actually made me cry) A definite classic that everyone should own. I will recommend the newer version based on my opinion, but I don't think it matters which one because this story has captured the love and emotion of those in my parents generation as well as those in my generation who have watched the newer version. The story of Brian Piccolo will always be my favorite movie and everyone should see this and be exposed to his story. a definite MUST!!!
