Bobby Fischer was 6'2'' not 5'9', Toby Maguire = Horrible Casting


I have never seen worse casting in my life. Douchebag Tobey Maguire looks nothing like Fischer and looks like a midget compared to the former World Champion. For all the offensive things Fischer said later in life he never once looked schizophrenic or crazy in any of the archival footage of him. He always looked cocky, arrogant or at worse slightly awkward. Nothing against Zwick who is Jewish and I am sure was offended by Fischer's anti-semitic rants but this film looks like a disgusting smear job trying to rewrite history. Fischer's story needs to be told authentically not like this.

You sound like Fischer. Paranoid, angry, condescending.
