    I rowed varsity crew at a West Coast college in the early 60's. We used all the old fashioned stuff, wood everything. This movie was so authentic that in the intense rowing scenes all of my muscle mmory came back vividly and I rocked back and forth in the theater seat and felt chills. Thank you so much for this movie. Rowing doesn't get much attention today but it is one of the all time amateur sports. I learned lessons that have lasted me a lifetime.

      I rowed in high school and read the book while involved in the sport. It was POWERFUL to read this story while understanding everything about it. I am very glad to have rowed at a time when technology had advanced. The boats were wired and the cox had a microphone and pack and could be heard throughout the boat, and didn't just have a megaphone to their mouths. I kept thinking "can the rest of the rowers hear anything? There's just a megaphone over his mouth!"

    What's cool about this movie is that, while I was watching it here in NYC, my brother was watching it, at the same time, in Seattle. We planned it that way. Additionally, we both had just finished reading the book together, at the same time, just a week or two before. Hopefully Clooney will hear about that. Synchronicity is a wonderful thing.

    As someone who has not yet read the book, I adored this movie. The three coaches reminded me so much of my coaches (for a different sport) when I was younger, I thought the acting was excellent, and as someone who has never done this sport, it appeared realistic enough to not be distracting. There may be some issues with the rowing technique that I just don’t notice because I haven’t experienced it, and it may not be perfectly faithful to the book, but as just an average viewer of this movie, I’d give it a solid 8/10.

This one cuts to the chase and gives less about the characters, but enough to draw one in. Enjoyed the movie, loved the book. Both made me seek more of a follow up of information.

    Ex-oarsman thought - George Clooney is a trip. "We couldn't line up all the boats at the start to film them because the wind and currents were blowing them around". Many racing starts had these conditions. The coxswains directed the oarsmen to correct the boat's attitude as needed. Make the movie real , George, not like you think it should be.

    I am looking forward to seeing this film, It's amazing that at that time someone could show up at college, learn to row and graduate with an Olympic gold medal. Let me say as someone who has done some international rowing, this 1936 Washington crew could have won the four mile IRA's easily if they had rowed the body of the race at 34 strokes a minute and the 2000 meter Olympic race at 36. - but they let the coxswain (who has never rowed in his life) call the race. The book was good but I prefer a book by Emory Clark about the 1964 Vesper Boat Club 8 that won the 1964 Tokyo Olympics - Olympic Odyssey. He was on that crew and tells of the inside details of the crew's lives, some very personal - like what happens when an American Olympic gold medal crew shows up at a Tokyo brothel.

      Without getting into a lot of detail, I've spent WAY more time watching rowing on Lake Washington than you. What made these boys win was their training on Lake Washington. Ulbrickson would have them go on side by side four and five mile pieces. If they could have shown that, it would have told a lot about their fitness and their ability to work together as one. However, I can see how much that would have cost them to do and also realize that Clooney had to beg to get the money that he had. There are other things to pick apart if you know where to look. (The Husky Clipper in the film had four gold victory chevrons on it. They are on the bow of the boat next to the name. Each one marked a national championship. However, The Husky Clipper was built in 1934 and was only used once to win a national championship. (in 1936) A different boat was used in 1935.
      Another oddity was the locomotive that was used on the train which took them to the IRA was an English train labeled "Great Northern" which was the actual rail line which took them to the IRA. The cars on the train were also British.
      These are picky details and really don't matter much. Clooney only had so much money and he practically had to beg for the money he had. peating what said, it's more enjoyable if you don't pick it apart.@@jec0435

      I didn't disagree with you at all and it's not a competition. I'm sure you've certainly seen more of Lake Washington crew than I, and I've likely seen a lot more of Lake Union's crew boats than you, as I lived there. I agree, anything can be picked to death for accuracy and it does boil down to funds if you want to be precise. We are on the same page here. @@westsideflyer7559

      - this isn't about the story of the film. It is how the film was made. Those are two different approaches and both the PBS and this were spot on, very good documentaries.

      I agree. The film was good but was missing something. I never got that connection to the characters or a real feeling of the adversity they faced. It was pretty, but the PBS documentary really gave me a better feel for the people, the times, etc. Clooney stated that they were trying to show how they had to go against the upperclassmen, then the rich, then the world. But the movie only hinted at those conflicts, never really building the tension. It made it seem like they just went out and won every time, when that wasn’t really the case. Probably an artifact of movie length and Hollywood drama. They compressed three years of ups and downs into one season, and shoehorned in a love story.

    I’m sorry, the rowing scenes let the movie down a lot. Something was just entirely wrong about it, the boats didn’t move like the should. The movie was good, and I thought it was fun, but it all looked entirely wrong and I couldn’t get over it.

    Looks phoney, right off the bat. Clothing was much more rumpled in those days. Original photos of teams are everywhere, showing mismatched practice wear. This looks like SportChek, made to measure in modern miracle fabrics. Why do they think 'spiffing' it up makes for a better film?

    I would never watch this movie! The book was so good, that I already know i wouldn’t get past 2 minutes. It’s too bad that people with influence and money are put in charge of movies like this. If I was on the set, I would’ve recast everyone! And also changed the script, when I recognized that the people in charge of the characters, are clueless on how to portray them!

      @@westsideflyer7559 Where did I get my knowledge? Do you read good historical books?? I’ve read hundreds! Good writers transport you back in time, so you can literally relive the experience of what these people went through. Emotionally and physically. It’s very difficult to find any actors that can pull this off? So what we’re seeing is a very poor example of the reality these folks went through. Go watch The Revenant, with Leonardo DiCaprio. This is how a good movie is made. You can feel his characters pain. Its a very tough skill to master. Then go back and watch the carton character’s that your used to watching and keep calling it great acting. 😂🤣😂
