Movie Night: ****^Cool Runnings
This is a 1993 movie of the first Jamaican bob sled team at the 1988 Winter Olympics. I actual remember this story from the Calgary Olympics. Four sprinters, who were hoping to run track and field, but a fall ends this dream, but still wanting to be Olympians, take up bob sledding. Irv Blitzer (John Candy) becomes their coach. This movie is not only motivational, but funny. A lines that sticks, "You dead man?" This line is in my vocabulary. The Jamaicans find their style, with a lucky egg, and their own song, "We got a Jamaican Bob Sled Team." It is amazing how sometimes dreams hang by a thread, and their is always opposition. Sometimes opposition comes from those you love; sometimes from those you don't know; and sometimes from others who disrespect you. Whatever the case you have to stand and fight.
