Negative Positive
Title: The Rocket
Review: I rented this movie a couple of years ago and wanted to own my own copy because I find it inspiring. Maurice Richard is the Gary Cooper of hockey, a man of few words, a man of action, and a man who keeps it simple. He loves hockey, he loves his wife and family. He works hard, practices long hours, suffers quietly through physical injuries and injustice, and yet the man of few words speaks out through a sportswriter, trying to protect his fellow French-Canadian players from unnecessary physical harm. Like Jackie Robinson, he suffered much, and mostly in silence. He is an inspiration to many, yet it took a physical and emotional toll on him and his family. I like this movie because none of this seemed heavy-handed but was woven into a story about a young man and an adult who, through perseverance and unfailing hope, is able to play a game that he loves to play and wins because he loves to win.
