Tonight, I attended "Damn Good Movie Night." Several students gathered in Park Center to watch a movie called Murderball. This movie was all about rugby players who are confined to wheelchairs. The players all have different degrees of paralysis, paraplegia, or quadriplegia. The movie depicts things just as they are. There were some introspective moments that really gave the viewer an idea of what it is like to live in a wheelchair.
The movie covered the history of some of the players and how they got to where they are now. The movie followed the United States team in their quest for Olympic success. There were interviews with family members. There were also newly injured people who were shown in their rehabilitation.
This movie was very gripping emotionally. It played to happiness, sadness, pain, anger, and laughter. All elements were covered. It just goes to show the viewer that despite our differences we all have the same feelings and emotions in many different capacities to one another.
