Given actor Will Smith's box office appeal and the National Football League's off-the-charts popularity Nike Air Max 97 Sale Clearance , the feature film Concussion will likely enjoy commercial success when it opens on Christmas Day.
One family in particular won't be waiting in line to buy tickets. Last week, the Chicago Tribune and the New York Times reported that the widow and son of Dave Duerson, an 11-year NFL veteran who committed suicide in 2011, feel that Duerson was unfairly portrayed in the movie.
Specifically Nike Air Max 2017 Sale Clearance , Duerson's survivors feel that several fictitious scenes make him appear resistant toward brain research doctor Bennet Omalu and insensitive toward fellow player and eventual suicide victim Andre Watters.
Not surprisingly, both Sony Pictures Entertainment and director Peter Landesman stand by the film's portrayal of Duerson. "… People go to [feature films] not to digest information and data but to have an emotional experience," Landesman said. "The movie is emotionally and spiritually accurate all the way through."
Landesman's answer is glib, condescending and amoral. Of course feature films allow directors some degree of creative license. But not all instances of creative license are created equal.
Exaggerating the previous ineptitude of Hickory High School's basketball team Nike Air Max 2018 Sale Clearance , for example, simply heightened Hoosiers fans' anticipation of the David-beats-Goliath -story they knew was coming all along.
And inventing a line of dialogue that ended a -grueling conditioning session in the movie Miracle simply emphasized the role nationalistic team unity played in perhaps the greatest sports upset of the 20th century - the US men's Olympic hockey team's 1980 win over the Soviet Union.
But fashioning a script to include what amounts to a character assassination for the sake of cinematic irony (a narrative device Landesman has used to defend the Duerson portrayal) seems like poor taste - even by Hollywood's standards.
For obvious reasons, Duerson's family can't discuss Concussion in a totally objective manner. But the same can be said of the movie's profit-driven producers. Beginning on Christmas Day, its viewers will decide which group to believe.
Some matches seem made in heaven. Others are made in honky tonk bars.
The match between Leon ?Kix? Broooks and Ronnie Dunn is one that country is forever grateful for. Alone Nike Air Max 90 Sale Clearance , neither musician made much traction as a solo artist. Together, they become a powerhouse duo that has become one of the most successful country acts in modern history.
Both spent their youths training musically, and their young adulthood wandering from odd job to odd job. Dunn had actually wanted to become a Baptist minister, even going as far as attending Abilene Christian University before he was kicked out for performing music in local bars. It seemed like both were natural born musicians.
In 1988 Nike Air Max Sale Clearance , both men earned the notice of an Arista executive who smelled a deal. He brought them together?the lower key, more pensive Dunn and the highly animated Brooks. The chemistry couldn?t have been more perfect. They began writing and recording together, and when the label saw the results they knew they had a hit on their hands.
Brooks & Dunn released their first album in 1991. Brand New Man featured three number one singles that raced up the country charts: ?My Next Broken Heart,? ?Neon Moon? and ?Boot Scootin? Boogie.? And people?s boots did scoot Air Max 97 Sale Clearance , kicking off a line dancing fad that swept up country joints across the nation. The duo?s follow up album, Hard Workin? Man, appeared two years later. It followed up on the smash success of their debut, scoring five singles that peaked on the country charts? Top 5 Air Max 2017 Sale Clearance , and seemed to cement the group as truly great entertainers. In 1994, they released their third record, Waitin? on Sundown, which went platinum twice. There were no doubters in the industry after that.
?Little Miss Honky Tonk? was one of their biggest hits on that record. ?I get out on the redneck side every now and thenCall up my baby she comes over and the party beginsShe?s a slick nickel Air Max 2018 Sale Clearance , she?s right on the moneyI wouldn?t give her up for a thousand buckle bunniesI?m her big cat daddy, she?s my little miss honky tonk,? the lyrics go. Brooks & Dunn built their reputation on songwriting like this?fun and freewheeling, with plenty of ?honky tonk? slang that let?s their listeners know they?re keeping things real.
In 1996 Air Max 90 Sale Clearance , the duo continued their hot streak by releasing Borderline, which also went double platinum and was loaded with hits. Songs like ?My Maria,? ?A Man This Lonely? and ?I Am That Man? were the top songs off that record, and they managed to all earn heavy radio play as well.
The group?s albums would begin to lose some popularity after this Air Max Sale Clearance , slowly but steadily increasing as the ?90s wore on and the new millennium began. But they revised their sound in 2001 and restored themselves as kings of the country charts.
It?s not much wonder that Brooks & Dunn tickets sell just as well today as they did in the mid ?90s. Find yours at http:www.stubhubbrooks and dunn tickets.
