Customer Reviews of We Are Marshall (Widescreen Edition)
Never thought this tragedy would be a movie Nine months after the initial showing of "WE ARE MARSHALL" I still have to pinch myself to believe this movie really happened. I had great fortune to see it first time in Huntington while home for Xmas with my Father. He, my late Mother (she was retired MU professor) and other family loved the experience of being together to see it. Like everyone at MU at the time, I lost friends and parents of my friends. But....somehow we survived and so slowly put our lives back together but we always understood that life is precious, not to be taken for granted. The movie does a good job of acknowledging the deep pain we felt and how we all struggled with the loss. People seeing the movie who do not know MU Football history may not realize how long it took for MU Football to be competitive again and what determination everyone connected with MU showed in sticking with it. MU Football now has two consecutive losing seasons but I do not get too concerned about it. As Matthew Mc. said in an interview Marshall got "back into the game of life".....after all....that is all that really matters! Bring on the Herd! Let's Go Herd! We Are ....MARSHALL!
I Was There
I have been waiting for the release of the DVD of We Are Marshall ever since I saw the movie with my wife on December 22nd, 2006. Both of us are Marshall alumni, Class of 1974. While my wife came after the crash, I was a freshman living in Towers East. I was there. I helped carry mattresses to the gym to set it up as an emergency triage hospital, before we learned that no one survived.

>As an alum, as a student on campus at the time of the crash I was emotionally taken back at the movie. As much as I can remember, it was very accurate not only in the details but the "spirit" of the community - both town and gown. Football is and has always been a sport that the Huntington community gets behind. With the tragedy that affected so many in the community that day and across the state and nation it tied us together like few other events could.

>There were a few items that were expanded or not fully accurate but for the whole I believe it was accurate in capturing the spirit and emitions of the time. The events of the loss of our Herd team had an impact on me then and the movie brought back many of the memories. I have spoken with Gail Parker, who was the graduate assistant coach who traveled with Red Dawson on the recruiting trip and did not make the flight back (yes I know the movie only showed Red Dawson - that is one of the small inaccuracies) and he believes it was fairly accurate as well.

>I can't wait to buy and watch the movie again, this time in the privacy of my home where I can shed a few more tears. Being from Long Island, NY and living in WV for 16+ years until I left to move to VA....Marshall has been and always be a huge part of my life. Go Herd!
Rememberance
I watched this film with tears streaming down my cheeks as I recalled the evening of my 12th birthday, November 14, 1970. I vividly remember watching TV in the basement of our small house in St. Albans, West Virginia, and during the football game which I was watching, the local tv station broke in with a report that the plane had gone down. My first thought was, "Oh no, Roger." One of my family's neighbors in our first house in St. Albans was a young man named Roger Childers, who if I remember correctly was being redshirted during this particular season. As a typical boy who had dreams of growing up and playing football myself, I think back to Roger taking the time to visit with myself and my next door neighbor Joey when we asked him questions about football and college at Marshall. He was a wonderful young man and my family I learned the next day that unfortunately he was among those on the team plane.

> This film took me back to my youth and I thought everything was handled "delicately" out of respect for the dead and their families including the crash itself. Seeing terror in the faces of the coaches and players would have been very difficult to handle. I thought they paid very close attention to the details particularly in regards to the crash site and the weather that night...it was cold, nasty and rainy. The rebirth of the program reminds me of a Phoenix rising from the ashes to live another day. If you like to be moved when watching a film, by all means, watch this one.
