I've just finished watching this movie for the second time and I loved it too.
I was interested to read Kelly Wards' comments about the inaccuracies of it. She obviously knew/knows the people portrayed in the movie and for that insight I'm very grateful. But I'd like to assure her, I didn't feel the characters were shown in a bad light.
I have never been enamoured of Rodeo/Bull Riding at all, but still thoroughly enjoyed the movie for the human element, and wouldn't have dreamed that the characters were being misrepresented. Also, coming from Australia, I had no idea the accents were being mangled.
Anyway, the short version is, I thought this was a really good movie about a talented, driven young man who died tragically doing what he loved.
Sad, but feel good too.
I loved the movie. It's such a great inspiration. Lane Frost was the kind of person to never give up. And Luke Perry pulled that off very well.
It's been an inspiration to me to start ridin bulls. I found the movie, while slightly inaccurate on somethings, was a very good portrayal of Lane, and the kind of man he was. And for the record. I would do anything to die as he did: Doing something I love.

I was at a horse show yesterday and saw Craig Cameron and he shard a piece of advice with the crowd that his dad ahd shard with him. "Find something you love to do, and then find somebody who will pay you to do it." This is what Lane Frost did.

shareIt was a lot better than I expected. They all did a good job. I had never heard of Lane Frost before this movie, but he must of been special to a lot of people with all the love he still gets.
