100 Meters

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.

One of the most beautiful explications of multiple sclerosis on movie over created. The movie advocates the disease and all of the negative effects that it brings to the family and difficulties that causes to the life of the patient and the careers. The language is gentile, the set is perfect and all of the feelings are positive despite the seriousness of the disease. I felt totally inspired by Ramon, he offers inspiration, courage and gives strength not just for the MS survivors but to the general public as well. The producers and all of the participants in the movies should receive the most positive critiques as well not just by making story line of such a serious topic but for the decision to produce a movie on this disease which is quite rare in the movie industry. I believe all of the participants in the film should be proud by creation of a movie that will help MS survivors and make this disease visible to wider public. Most perfect part of the movie is that despite of the main topic, it tackled relations within the family and introduced Nino Bravo to the viewers. Music, dialogues, photography and costumes are extraordinary for Spanish movie. Dani Rovira is remarkable, perfect characterization of MS survivor, perfect actor, just perfect. Excellent movie...

This great picture involves deep drama, emotion , love story , family , human values and a provoking story about people who surmount their vital difficulties .This is a stirring and sensitive look at multiple sclerosis (MS) and , but ultimately attempts to construct family's unity and sense of love , friendship , to improve themselves , and belonging , too . The film is pretty good , but relies heavily on the relationships between husband-wife along with the father in law . Dani Rovira and Alexandra Jimenez deliver top-drawer interpretations as the enjoyable marriage whose lives go wrong when receive the fateful fate . Karra Elejalde gives a splendid as well as sympatheric acting as the angry widower , as usual , creating an awesome chemical with his son in law/Dani Rovira . Karra suggested Dani Rovira for the lead role when he was offered the project. Support cast is frankly excellent , such as : David Verdaguer , Clara Segura as Dra.

Furthermore , the extras of the hospital scenes are, actually, real patients and real doctors from the Institut Guttman. Most of the extras of the Iron Man scenes are also actual athletes too.

I almost never laugh at the movies, because i have such a good sense of hmour ,almost all the others jokes lokslame for me.AThis movie make me laugh so many times.I used to rather cry at the movies , but living in Romania , after the involutio from 1989 i reach the grade nothing make me cry.This movie make me cry like a baby.The screenplay is a masterpiece.Actors are brilliant.American movies in the last 40 years can't make a normal human been smile even if is tickled (except some sitcoms) about crying , they c'ant make movies with a little bit of dramatism , tears are excluded , and the spaniols make the people laughing out loud and crying like babyes in the same movies.Thas because spaniols make cinema and americans make commerce

Having my own health issues, seeing sport as a way to get through them, I have been deeply touched by this story. Beyond the triathlon idea, and beyond the multiple sclerosis, the feelings shared by the characters of the movie with the others make this a great movie. And as this is based on a true story, you have got to watch it!
