Title: I hope Obree got a lot of money for the rights
Review: As an active cyclist and fan of bicycle racing I was excited at one more motion picture about a bicycle racer. Viewing the film I was bothered by the trite elements. Was Obree ever a bicycle messenger? No. Did he ever put training wheels on "Old Faitful?" No. Did he fall off his bike when the officials red flagged him? No, he actually tried to run down the official standing in his way -- now that would have been a good cinematic device that would have been truly humorous.I hope Obree got a bundle of cash for the rights because the producers and directors made a mockery of his life and his personal struggle with a manic-depressive condition. If you really want to know about Obree and his life read his book which has the same name. It is a dark, yet inspriing, tale of the human struggle with demons inside his head.
