Rating: - poignancy, athleticism, cultural bias and victory
a thoughtful motion picture of personal trials and triumph. This film deserves a dvd release.
Rating: - Running Brave
This is a great portrayel of Billy Mills. The details of the movie are not the best(such as the football lines in the Olympic stadium). Robby Benson studied Billy Mills as well as worked with Mills to get the character down pat. He also trained for and ran a marathon to actually learn how to run like Mills. The story does a great job through flashbacks of telling of Mills' life growing up. It is a very inspirational story that I show my cross country teams. I recommend this movie to anyone ... Read More
Rating: - Dreams Realized
This is the story of the legendary distance runner Billy Mills. Mills is the only American runner in the history of the Olympic games to win a Gold Medal at 10,000 meters. He ran an incredible race but more than that he led an incredible life. Robby Benson does a nice job playing Mr. Mills (who is a Lakota Indian). The final sequence on the track is very close to what actually happened in the race. A very, very inspirational movie about a very, very, very inspirational man.
Rating: - Running Brave Indeed
Beautiful and highly inspirational true story of Billy Mills, an American Indian Sioux, who overcame great odds and poverty to become (to date) the only American to win the 10,000m Olympic Gold Medal.
Mills was orphaned at age twelve and due to his profound achievements, holds legendary status among the Native American Indian community in the United States. He is now 64.
Rating: - Determination
A movie based on the life of Olympic runner Billy Mills. His love for running everywhere drew him into a dream to run in the Olympics. Billy's dream wrapped itself around the hearts of his people on the reservation which made him even more determined to run, and to win. There is a realistic difference in Billy's life on the reservation and his life in college which is not only shown starkly by the scenes, but also in Billy's thoughts, actions and reactions. I recommend this movie for people of ... Read More
