100 metros

This is unexpectedly good movie. What I love about European movies is that end is not easily predictable. There is no happy end guaranteed, you are not sure what will happen until the very last minutes of the movie. Also, intelligent humor is something I appreciate. In this movie it is so well put with the rest of the, not so funny, story. Do not skip this one.

Real life stories are not everyones cup of tea. Then again, when it comes to something like that you have to be a far greater cynic than I am, not to want to watch it. It's a story about overcoming obstacles or at least trying. To paraphrase Curtis Jackson aka 50 Cent "do it or die trying". It's a bit of an exaggeration of course, but it boils down to, if you really want something, go for it and do everything too achieve that goal.

So you could call this inspirational, no matter the outcome, because not the finish line is what is worth all the trouble, but the way leading up to it. No matter if it is the whole thing, or just parts of it. Just the fact you pursue it, should be satisfaction in itself. So if that sounds like something you can get behind with, than the movie is worth watching too ...

100 meters was a great movie! I think it really captured the story of Ramon Arroyo. His story is so captivating and motivating and truly incredible. I am an avid runner and this movie among many others helped motivate to get out of the house and go for a run! I think everyone should watch this movie. The direction by Marcel Barrena was really to the point and showed the ups and downs of his struggle to complete the ironman with this disease. All in all one of my favorite movies I've seen in a while.

This is a touching look at multiple sclerosis (MS) and how it gradually wreaks havoc on a family, but ultimately helps build the family's unity and sense of belonging, too. Dani Rovira is very good in the central role, and he is capably seconded by his father in law, played by Elejalde, and his wife, played by the beautiful Alexandra Jimenez, who shows what a woman's quiet and unwavering love can do for a man.

There are many memorable sequences in the movie, but I liked in particular the exchanges among the MS patients who congregate for treatment. Life is a very flimsy and wanton thing, and watching this movie only heightened my perception of how privileged I am to be alive, healthy, and with my own beloved wife and family.

What an amazing heartwarming story 'bout a man fighting for his life. Watch this and be inspired a 100 times. It's not often that I get carried away by movies like this, but this one got to me. I'm a grown man but I cried several times during this movie. If you haven't seen it yet, just do it, you won't regret it. 7,1 is underrated! - Don't overlook this movie just because it's not a big Hollywood flick.
