CONCUSSION

It’s fair to say so that it will Smith has had an exciting profession. The now 47-year-vintage bankable megastar started out out in humble roots as a rapper beneath the name “The fresh Prince”. His reputation grew in 1990 while he starred because the lead character in the fresh Prince of Bel Air, a television show that ran for 6 seasons (1990-1996). From there, Smith entered the foray of Hollywood movies as a main guy, together with horrific Boys (I and II), Independence Day, guys in Black, Enemy of the state, Ali, i'm Legend, and The Pursuit of Happyness. though talented with a mainly a hit film profession as an actor, Smith is marred by means of flopped endeavors, along with the movies Wild Wild West and After Earth (each movies had been panned by way of critics and moviegoers). Now Will Smith returns to the huge screen for his second film of 2015 (the primary being Glenn Ficarra and John Requa’s focus) with the film Concussion. Does this biopic drama deliver insightful insight into the seasoned-soccer “concussion” controversy or is it a forgetful movie with a likeable leading guy?

THE STORY

Born and raised in Nigeria, Dr. Bennet Omalu (Will Smith) has come to the united states to similarly his education and competencies as a forensic pathologist, running in a Pittsburgh coroner’s workplace beneath Dr. Cyril Wecht (Albert Brooks). while his respectful ways and strategies of the dead bodies are seeing as “uncommon”, Bennet stays steadfast and committed to the purpose, together with his interest accelerated while exacting an post-mortem from currently deceased football legend Mike Webster (David Morse). Bennett expands his specific search into how Webster died, coming across a degenerative sickness that’s tied to brain trauma and the connection to the violence of expert football. Bennett eventually publishes his findings in a medical magazine, critiquing on what he calls CTE (chronic demanding encephalopathy). while his findings are accurate, Bennet rapidly encounters harsh resistance from the NFL, the use of their properly-funded corporation to shut down Bennett’s claim, at the same time as the coolest medical doctor finds an ally in Dr. Julian Bailes (Alec 1st Earl Baldwin of Bewdley), a former Pittsburgh Steelers team physician who believes inside the CTE discovery.

THE GOOD / THE BAD

if you didn’t know (which is k in case you don’t because I didn’t realize either), Concussion is primarily based off of a 2009 GQ magazine exposé titled “game mind” by means of Jeanne Marie Laskas, detailing Dr. Bennet Omalu’s research of the continual traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and his uphill ordeal with the NFL. Following the deaths of excessive profile NFL stars Junior Seau and Dave Duerson (both of whom committed suicide after suffering from CTE), director Ridley Scott changed into to begin with inquisitive about a NFL concussion movie, however it turned into writer / director Peter Landesman who delivered Omalu’s story from page to display with the film Concussion (Ridley Scott went on to produce the movie). along with his directorial debut with the movie Parkland, Concussion is Landesman’s sophomore filmmaking enterprise, permitting the director to tell the chronological story of Omalu’s findings and depicting the NFL reluctant and vicious responses to the doctor’s claims in addition to enlightening (and possibly educating) moviegoers with the information of behind CTE and its damaging effects.

In that regard, Landesman succeeds along with his imaginative and prescient venture of Concussion. The narrative story in the film is ever so important, specially since it resonate so much with present day activities and results the lives of masses of humans. From a personal viewpoint, I’ve met (and recognize) some former NFL soccer participant, who've been mental suffering from their repetitive head traumas over the years of gambling the game of soccer. It’s a sad reality, one which relatable to many and stocks now precedent safety issue for not just football gamers, however for all athletes (each professional and newbie). Concussion gives that voice its platform to spread its message as Landesman supplies that very identical message with insightful bring at some stage in the function. As Smith Omalu’s says in the film “We need to honor our warriors” and that i couldn’t agree greater.

but, as poignant and considerate the problem rely is, Concussion isn’t the critical biopic movie that it wants to be. certain, the tale is touching and will Smith’s abilities are nicely used (extra on that below), but the film follows the standard troupes observed in theatrical movies of “based on a real tale”, with familiar beats of plot and person motivations. Landesman even creates a sincere (or instead a black and white) representation of its important plot, dressing up Omalu as a humble and self/much less champion of clinical reality that’s going up in opposition to the NFL agency, which is depicted because the massive and effective evil organisation. It’s a traditional entice in this endeavor, one which’s commonplace in movies consisting of this, and but affects Concussion in its cinematic undertaking. moreover, evidently Landesman has a tough time of balancing the primary story with its sub-plots, most considerably in Dr. Omalu’s personal lifestyles. Scenes with his romantic dating with Prema Mutiso appear to distract and individually lose attention at the movie. In quick, when Concussion is most powerful when its provided with the CTE storyline debate and becomes much less-thrilling with it movements faraway from that same situation.

With the character of Dr. Bennet Omalu being the imperative protagonist in Concussion, most of the driven force comes from Will Smith portrayal of the real-lifestyles doctor. And he does a top notch process at it. It’s really a nice overall performance and Smith can sincerely deliver it out through his acting capability, expressing Omalu’s triumphs and struggles in his on-display screen personality and mannerisms. it is able to now not be a entire and sport-converting performances like in his role for the film The Pursuit of Happyness, however Smith does an effective and stable paintings on pulling returned the curtain (a theatrically one) on Dr. Omalu research and his trials and tribulations that observe from his findings.

In extra secondary roles are Gugu Mbatha-raw as Prema Mutiso, and Albert Brooks as Dr. Cyril H. Wecht. each roles are first-rate defined as the common / general outlines of biopic drama to the main character as a supportive (but universal vulnerable) love interest and a nonsense mentor (Brooks’s Wecht does have a few first-rate humorous lines within the film. alongside the ones same strains, however with more screen time to devoted to him, is Alec Baldwin’s Dr. Julian Bailes, a retired NFL group doctor that is sympathetic to Dr. Omalu’s CTE locating and his purpose to reveal the reality.

The relaxation of Concussion’s forged is one produced from a handful of scenes (two or three scenes at the maximum) of characters added to lifestyles via actors could have a resemblance to their actual-lifestyles opposite numbers. This includes Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Dave Duerson, Matt Willig as Justin Strzelczyk, David Morse as Mike Webster, and Richard T. Jones as Andre Waters, as well as Eddie Marsan as Dr. Steven DeKosky and Luke Wilson as NFL commissioner Roger Goodell (who gets Goodell’s diction down pat, however doesn’t even seem like him). other drastically minor actors in Concussion are Stephen Moyer as Dr. Ron Hamilton and Mike O’Malley as Daniel Sullivan. All of those characters play their roles in Omalu’s tale and do their respective components properly (particularly those portraying former soccer gamers) in detailing the sector and politics of Concussion. although, those characters are, extra or much less, structural cogs inside the film’s narrative system.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Is Concussion a difficult-hitting, eye-beginning feature movie? No, however it’s definitely poignant and relative to these days’s world. Peter Landesman’s biopic hits it meant mark, permitting visitors to explore the predominant tale of Dr. Omalu’s studies into C.T.E. and the NFL’s ramifications into his unearths. however, the film (as a whole) doesn’t elevate itself past the same old “base on real tale” undertaking with classic triumphs and resistances setbacks gambling out within the typical style as well as multiple aspect stories that don’t completely pan out. enthusiasts of Smith, of soccer, and people curious about the findings of CTE ought to without a doubt pass see this movie. in the end, I individually assume that Concussion isn’t the best genuine existence biopic movie available, however its tale it wants to tell is certainly palpable with a satisfactory performance from Will Smith and its insightful concern matter as a silver-lining overlay to the general film. 2405:201:400D:5837:A4F1:8846:97A4:950 (talk) 06:04, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
