TYSON Documentary Movie Trailer
Not sure if anyone out there is interested in Boxing or Sports Documentary's but Mike Tyson was one of the greatest boxers ever, and the guy just made some crazy bad decisions in his life which led him down the wrong road. This movie 'Tyson' gives us an inside look at what went on behind the scenes and what he was thinking during those crazy times he went through.This film played up at Sundance, but I didn't get a chance to see it. I heard it was good though.
'Tyson' is acclaimed indie director James Toback’s stylistically inventive portrait of a mesmerizing Mike Tyson. Toback allows Tyson to reveal himself without inhibition and with eloquence and a pervasive vulnerability. Through a mixture of original interviews and archival footage and photographs, a startlingly complex, fully-rounded human being emerges. The film ranges from Tyson’s earliest memories of growing up on the mean streets of Brooklyn through his entry into the world of boxing, to his rollercoaster ride in the funhouse of worldwide fame and fortunes won and lost. It is the story of a legendary and uniquely controversial international athletic icon, a figure conjuring radical questions of race and class. In its depiction of a man rising from the most debased circumstances to unlimited heights, destroyed by his own hubris, TYSON emerges as a modern day version of classic Greek tragedy.
I will say after watching the trailer if they ever make a biopic film on mike Tyson is has to be played by Tracy Morgan. Check out the trailer below!
