I may be late to the party here, but my wife was in a car accident today (I'm getting to it). My daughter and I waited in the lobby of the ER for more than four hours. So what did my bride want to do tonight, as much discomfort as she's in? Watch a movie. I let her choose, and she opted for "Air."
She thought it would be interesting, and since we hadn't yet seen it, we did so tonight.
My thoughts (and I want yours as well):
Very good movie. I like how they didn't show Michael, which was smart. Nobody can play him, not certainly now. In 40 years maybe, but not now.
They depicted his mother accurately. Vacarro was a bit of a controversial figure, but he was always ahead of his time. And the Air Jordan shoe and name licensing deal was really the first sports NIL deal. So no wonder Vacarro was involved in the O'Bannon case 30 years later.
Good pub for UNC, too. How could it not be.
So, I am curious what you guys liked and maybe didn't like about the movie.
