Tyson

[TMS2787]

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 roller coaster ride in the fun house 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've been intrested in this for a while, has anyone seen it yet? I am watching it now.

Its a really good movie. Tyson pretty much bares it all, and puts it all out there in this. He s also pretty emotional in it...and at times seems like he is 2 different people.

Its a very interested look into the life of Kid Dynamite, and I really liked it...you'll have to let me know what you thought of it.
