Yeah i've seen it, it's a documentary by legendary director Frederick wiseman who is acknowledged by many as the greatest documentary film maker of all time. Although the film came out in 2010 it was more likely filmed in 2007 as they mention the Mayweather-Oscar fight.mimmy123 wrote:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1653827/
'Boxing Gym'
Just would like to know if any good??
As for the film, it's got it good points and bad points...the camera roams around a boxing gym picking up bits of conversations from a mix of pro's(only one i recognised was Brian Vera) and just normal people using the gym to get fit. I just personally would have liked to know more about some of the people who are featured i.e like the blond kid with a black eye who wanted to take up boxing to learn how to fight, the life long boxing fan wanting to start boxing at 40 but i guess the film wasn't mean't to develop their stories but merely observe life at a boxing gym.
