MURDERBALL

“Murderball” was a wonderful film. The main issue in the film I picked up on was the benefit from being disabled. The game that these people were playing seemed to be only appropriate for people who are disabled. The game looks very challenging and difficult; full of possible injuries. I think this game is an excellent way for disabled persons to get back into the world if they are feeling hopeless. It’s almost like this game was giving these people a second chance. They seemed so happy while playing the game. I never even knew this game had existed up until now.
The people in the film were disabled, in wheelchairs from various causes. I thought it was very interesting how most of the disabled persons didn’t dwell in being disabled, as the ‘norm’ expects them to. They were very confident, optimistic and acted/reacted to things as a TAB person would react to. It was different for me to see this because normally I don’t see people who are disabling, in wheelchairs acting this way. I usually see them being very quiet or to themselves. It was kind of cool seeing these people act this way.
