Wow, I'm a little amazed that they turned the gymnastics into a movie. I saw this story on a documentary once.

Well don't they turn everything into a movie? :)

It was an interesting movie, although I did miss quite a bit of it because I was on my laptop and only half paying attention. Luckily it is on youtube so I am going to try to catch some scenes I missed.

True- they do turn lots of historical events into movies. I have seen some other war movies- "Glory," set during the Civil War, and "Saving Private Ryan."

I wonder if it's at my library? It would be wroth checking out.
Did you like what you saw?

Well as I said it is on youtube :)

Yes I did, although I have definitely seen better films on the subject. I did enjoy it overall.
