Excuse my rant, but that "any bump and you can sever your spinal cord" is just bullshit, and it lets me know that they are going to do other Hollywood bullshit. I wish Hollywood would figure out the truth is far more interesting than their BS
That's a good point and thanks for that man. Cannot imagine going through it and as is the norm Hollywood often takes liberties with accuracy. Be it a guys actual career, historical events or something real life and more meaningful such as permanent injury and what the effect is on all involved. Movie wise I remember Born On the 4th of July...now that's irony...as a brutal look at paralysis. As a flick I won't hold it against a movie and take it with a grain of salt as such. They nailed Paz it looks, right down to smashed nose, weight drains early on and highest point to lowest point between Dele and Santana return.
