"Klitschko" will debut on HBO at 5:30 p.m. ET/PT on Sept. 8, just a few hours before the network's split-site tripleheader of Klitschko-Charr and two live title bouts from Oakland, Calif.: super middleweight champ Andre Ward defending against light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson, and lightweight titlist Antonio DeMarco in a mandatory defense against John Molina Jr. ^from Dan's Blog:good
That's good timing. Vitali's career ends the same night his auto-biographic movie debuts on US cable TV.
It's a decent film, but a huge propaganda piece. Notice the way they manage to explain Vitali's absence from the Olympics with out using the words 'steroid', 'cheating' or 'disgrace'. They completely brush over the fact that Vitali is a drugs cheat, and therefore it is not a serious piece of documentary film making.
I wouldn't trust anything produced by Börnd Bunte, their manager. I have no doubt he got a filmmaking team to create this movie for the brothers in order to increase their public standing. As you said, pure propaganda. Gobbels himself couldn't have produced a better piece.
I like the goofy tracksuits & caps the Bros are wearing when they hit the US club scene. Getting buzzed on Coca-Cola.
This is why I've resisted buying it,but my local Blockbuster hasn't stocked it and I've no idea if it'll be shown in the UK anytime soon. Still curious to see it though.I've come to like Wlad since the Haye build up.
It's a great documentary, the exposure will help the klits gain more of the American fan base. Way better than that weirdo farce Tyson (2009)
Sorry CHEF, which part are you expressing a problem with, the film saying that Vitali didn't make the Olympics and not explaining why, or the fact that Vitali used steroids to go to the Olympics?
