Stunning Imagery, Inspiring Stories
PostedOctober 23, 2009

from Minneapolis, MN
But why Bob Roll as the narrarator??? This is a unique film that shows the grit of the athletes and the wildness and danger of the trail against the beauty of the peaks and valleys surrounding Leadville. I agree with other reviews that less Lance (who I love, mind you) and more personal interest stories would have made it even more poignant. By the reaction from the audience I was in, the most moving scenes had nothing to do with Lance. The most visually stunning scenes, though, show Lance racing in a setting and style that most people have never seen - giving his incredible gift yet one more dimension. And while I love the Bobke - he was, in my opinion, the wrong choice to narrarate this film. It needed a stronger, more evocative voice.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
