just saw Concussion.
its a good serious movie, but the ending feels incomplete
Movie really rocked my brain
how does it end?
I saw the trailer, and the whole thing seemed very trumped up and silly to me.
>NFL sending hitmen after this guy
>"THE NEXT AUTOPSY PERFORMED IS GOING TO BE YOURS!"
>>64466906
It'll be compete in 6 years when wes welker shoots Goodell cus he made his head hurt
>>64466964
lmao this, why would a billion dollar company threaten you when they could just kill you on the spot
>Dr. Omalu, I'm NFL
>>64466947
I can't seem to remember.
TELL THE TROOF
Just saw this movie with my mothers son. It was ok, but nothing to write home about.
>>64467058
why do you hate your brother?
>>64467093
I'm adopted senpai
>>64466947
Omalu gives a decent speech on the topic, and it says how the NFL settled (recently) without having to admit any wrong doing or what it knew about concussions
so it feels incomplete because it is i guess
welcome ta urf
>>64467011
>Omalu wasn't wrong
>uh... you don't get to bring medical reports
>don't worry, no charge for them
>and why would I want them?
>he was trying to publicize these reports. the injuries. the chronic traumatic encephalopathy
>head concussion?
>>64467199
That's the moral ambiguity of concussions for ya
>will Smith picking this shit Oscarbait movie instead of the independence day sequel
Fuck him.
>>64467270
>independence day sequel
Fuck you. That movie is garbage.
>>64466906
just fuck my title up senpai
>making a movie to expose shit everybody already knows about
I mean is there seriously anyone retarded enough to start playing football without knowing the injury risks of it?
>>64470898
Yes. Poor white southerners and poor blacks, who make up most of the people in the NFL.
>>64467022
>I can't seem to remember.
GODDAMMIT CARLOS
>>64470898
That doesn't make it OK tho.
>>64466906
Literally Ben Roethlisberger the movie.
>>64476182
it does.
It's like rock climbing or racecar driving. There's the potential of falling down the side of a mountain or crashing into another car or wall at 100+ mph, but you choose to do it voluntarily cause you love it. There's nothing wrong with that. You know that there's rhe potential of getting a long term brain condition by playing football, but you choose to do it anyway.

>You know that there's rhe potential of getting a long term brain condition by playing football, but you choose to do it anyway.
Who do you think sued the NFL? You make it seem like concussions aren't a point of concern for the players.
Why did the players sue the NFL if they knew the risks and chose to do it anyway?
>>64470898
Basically this.
If you didn't know there were major risks in a contact sport, you're lying. And if you seriously didn't know, then you're an idiot anyway. You weren't going to need that brain for anything else.
>there are people who actually think there aren't huge RECENT findings about the effect concussions have on brains abd how long term football playing or even boxing will damage your brain much more than has been generally believed which is apparently what this movie is literally about
Why are Americans so fucking stupid on every single subject?
>>64476991
Everyone knows there's risk with playing a contact sport, the problem is people didn't know that the health risks continued 10, 20, 30 years after they stopped playing.
>>64477064
This is true, I've had discussions with people who have said you experience concussion symptoms for a short term, which was shocking to hear them say
>>64466964
I couldn't get over how shitty Will Smith's acting was in the trailer. The whole movie reminds me of that failed Steve Jobs oscar bait flick with Ashton Kutcher from a few years ago.
>>64476665
why does the woman on the cart with him have a black eye?
Would you rather say it's a flick or a movie?
>>64477195
He literally said movie in the op you dip and anyone who's seen it knows it's not a flick under any circumstance
>>64477215
It's a flick tho.
>>64477058
weve known that, ali is fucked from all the shots he took. its just the matter of the league dealing with it at their level and having to pay out/make policy/research
>>64477224
Ali is a bad example to use just point out mayweathers father and uncle so you don't get memed on by Parkinson's
>>64477221
It's literally nothing like a flick though I agree it's no film
>>64477064
Then thats their problem. It's obvious knowledge these days, well before the movie or this NFL controversy came around.
>>64467102
he's still your brother britbong
>>64477250
That's what I expected thx Ameribro - love those kinds of movies.
concussion 2 when?
it's gonna be about futbol and how headers are banned in america
>>64467301
Being garbage or not has virtually no impact on if it'll make money or not.
There's a lot of shitty movies that make billions.
>>64466933
kek
>>64467301
Wrong
