The love will win agent all the odds!
<
>The boy in blue is a very simple story so many times seen before, about a distinguished rower, an absolute human marvel in what concerns to employ all his energies in order to compete and win. <
> <
>As you may expect, there will be a nice girl and an obvious happy ending. It's so predictable that you should realize there' s nothing new under the sun, unless you as me watch it on an executive bus from Valencia to Caracas a Saturday morning. . <

A real treat!
I've enjoyed getting on the rowing machine at the gym; and day dream, if I were lucky enough to be one of those collegiate scullers; well, here is an interesting perspective on this sport; and just like ol' time American cycling with Major Taylor at the turn of the century; this movie shows, before full acceptance of American football; basketball etcetera, other sports were vying for the main stage of America's attention in the sports arena. I am not aware of the exact time frame but it is clearly from around some time back then, maybe the "Great White Hope" was from around the same era as well. <

>In some ways, maybe it does follow a sports movie format; underdog overcoming the odds like in Hoosiers or Rocky; but the sport is unique. Maybe if I were Canadian I'd give it 5 stars, 4 stars still shows it is a good movie; a real gem in fact.
