Saw it loved it, saw it again with the director's comments, loved it even more.
Thanks for the tip. Some real rockstars of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu in the movie. I needed to hear from Mamet about his reason for the dojo head believing that competition would hurt the purity of his practice. It was not credible because the Brazilian guys all love competitions as the only way to see if you have it right. So once I could get over a blackbelt getting this wrong by suspending my disbelief I could go along with his premise that this guy WAS wrong about that. He had to face this in the end. I wouldn't have known his thinking without the commentary. I also didn't understand why the lawyer chick slapped him at the end, for betraying his own principles of facing fear. It was ten times better than I expected due to David's 5 years of training. He is really into the sport. Fantastic! Thanks. David makes a reference to a documentary done on Hickson Gracie that is now up on Youttube called "Choke". I'm watching that now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdRIBYw6kNQ
