I will admit I'm a retired wrestlingcel and going in I knew the story of the Von Erichs. Some aspects don't happen chronologically, nor accurately. Heck they didn't even put Chris (the youngest brother) in it at all because it would have made the movie like 4 hours long.
Fact is tho, Zac Efron should get a look for best actor Oscar, and the film itself should as well. Incredibly well acted and cast, the pacing is great and there isn't any filler. By the last scene of the movie I was literally balling my eyes out and I'm a 40yo guy. Highly recommend this to all dramatards.

It was really good! But frick does it go from warm-hearted to incredibly depressing, and stays there, for half the movie.
So there was another brother with a depressing story they didn't even include? Jesus.

Yeah they left out Chris Von Erich. He was short, wanted nothing more than to be a pro wrestler but had brittle bones due to the medication he had to take. They tried to get him involved but he just didnt have the skill or bodies of the older bros. I think he broke his arm in a match and sometime later suicide by gunshot to the head.

IIRC the director said furthermore trauma would've been overwhelming for the audiences.
Bad news for you, it got completely snubbed.

We don't care about the pretexts you've collected that justify to yourselves why your particular targeted harassment behaviour is justified; It's still a witch hunt, and it's still disallowed by Reddit sitewide rules, and your witch hunt is the kind of thing that gets picked up by those who do evil and given another pretext to go harass other people.
You are building a weapon that breaks Reddit. Reddit admins will not allow it.
