A Micro Movie Review
Last night I watched the movie "The Flying Scotsman" on DVD from Netflix.
It was kinda a weird movie, I'm still not sure if it was supposed to be about Obree's cycling career or about his issues with depression -- neither were addressed very well. Also, the movie is really not very faithful to the book.
I recommend reading the book instead, which although not a great book still offers good stories about the author's racing career and gives better insight into his personal demons than the movie adaptation does.
