I saw it. Thougt it was a refreshingly interesting take on life. Where movies often portray how usually, somehow, some way, with effort, diligence, persistence, resourcefulness, some luck, and help from others, mankind (or womankind) usually seems to prevail.
Well, you know, sometimes "life" just happens to people, just as in the movie, regardless of what you do. Sometimes, sadly, it just doesn't work out for you, even with all of the preparation, forethought, and opportunities to prevail.

I see myself in him as the "fighter" that he was; however, I don't see myself in him as how utterly non-vocal he was (to himself) for such a lonnnggg time before finally, crying/cussing out in extreme frustration. There would have been plenty of dialogue (of me talking and cussing to myself) at all that was going wrong.

Oh well, you can't win every bike race, despite how fit you are
