WTF do people find in this movie?bieng in a similar situation ,but less serious,than quadraplegics,i find the trend of "herofying" people in our situation stinkingly "bien pensant"(overzealous political correctness brimming with excessive optimism?)

It's too bad she cant live but then again who does?
On the contrary - my boyfriend is a quad and was very excited to see this. He was a pro athelete before his accident. He was on a breathing machine for a year with no movement below his neck. From severe motivation & training he has gotten back 80% of movement. And HE considers this film to be very motivating and refreshing. In fact we are looking into the possibilty of him getting into the sport now that we've seen this film! It's a documentary about atheletes and what goes on in their day-to-day as they work towards a very exciting competition. And since they happen to be in wheelchairs - that is also apart of the documentary. That's it. Have you even watched the film?! There is no more "herofying" in this film than there is in any other sport-related documentary! And for me, this movie was exhilerating and made me want to go out & get into some - any kind of sport!

Well, bully for everyone who is inspired by this film. However, I agree with SOnofshadows, though he puts it more roughly than I do.
First of all, we are kind of hoodwinked into thinking this film is going to be kind of outrageous. But really, it's a pussycat's movie. Somewhere around the time they introduced "stories" about Joe's son Robert and Zupan's friend, I began to feel some forced "human dramas" were being crudely thrown into the mix to stir our emotions about "the power of friends and family." Really, now. This same happy horsesh*t has been ruining sports stories for several decades now. I certainly don't blame the athletes. And I sure would have rather seen more of the actual games, the actual rough and tumble of the competition (remember--"murderball"). This was the directors' and the editors' choices and I blame them.
