The movie Ali

Post by Homicide Henry »

The movie with Will SMith portraying the 'greatest' was very good but it makes me wonder, are they going to make a sequel? What about Ali's fading years? What about him fighting club fighter Chuck Wepner? What about his fight with Joe Frazier (thriller in manila)? and what about Leon Spinks? I know Ali is nearly mythical in his past exploits but why dont Hollywood tell more of the story, rather than just let everybody think that Ali was invincible and show more of the human side of himself...rather than the legend?

Ali's first movie The Greatest did the same thing...after Foreman the movie left off with no where else to go. We need the sequel, cause Ali is always going to be Ali but I think it is unfair to not show the public the second half of his life story...the downfall and end with his career.

Boo hoo!

"The Greatest" (1977) was shown on Sky Cinema this week in UK but I contrived to press the wrong button on the video........(shakes head..)
