Bigger, Stronger, Faster*….Movie?!!!
BIGGER, STRONGER, FASTER is a in-competition documentary playing at the Sundance Film Festival from director Christopher Bell and it’s a look at how the mammoth Gods of the 1980s like Rambo, Conan and Hulk Hogan inspired himself and his brothers to life weights, get ripped and become wrestlers.
Of course when the scandals of performance-enhancing drugs came (in particular the Vince McMahon trial of 1992) the reputations of these personalities soon went sour.
Plot summary;
In America, we define ourselves in the superlative: we are the biggest, strongest, fastest country in the world. Is it any wonder that so many of our heroes are on performance enhancing drugs? Director Christopher Bell explores America’s win-at-all-cost culture by examining how his two brothers became members of the steroid-subculture in an effort to realize their American dream.
A really smart tagline “Is it still cheating if everyone’s doing it?� and a really interesting idea for a documentary, I’m hopeful this one performs well at Sundance and can secure some kind of distribution deal because in the wake of the Chris Benoit tragedy, Eddie Guerrero, Athlete Marion Jones in recent years… it’s a subject that still requires some close scrutiny and investigation.
