Calum Von Moger: Unbroken

Calum is a very charming person and his struggles with injury leave you caring, because be comes across as a genuinely nice, caring person himself. This is what makes you keep watching.

As a documentary itself, it's basically empty. You can put the story down to about two things happening. There is nothing revealing. They don't go deep on Calum, who is an interesting person. Why did he want to build muscles at 13? What deep-seeded human need drove that desire within him? Why does he care so much for animals? What scares him?

Usually a documentary filmmaker would hope to reveal something deeper about their subject. This one got lucky that Calum is such a brilliant person. Otherwise this would be a total blowout.

It was refreshIng to see an iron doc that was not filled with non stop expletives, meal prep and back stage oil rub downs and on stage posing. The director's angle of overcoming adversity (which was caught on camera) while seemlessly moving between present day and past was brilliant. Calum's resilience and outlook on life is amazing. Looking forward to seeing more from Calum in years to come. Just be careful dude!!

Hes my idol even tho he suffers alot from accidence ive been watching him with my dad on the body building on netflix. i saw hes a nice, genorous man i just want himto know thatbhes being supported by me!

This is about Instagram reality fitness "guy"...Calum Von Moger. I remembered seeing him in another doc so I figured I would see how this one is. Its pretty interesting showing how his life has been going since the last doc gave him some exposure, but the negatives are that it never really presses him in terms of his psyche or other things as it seems the filmmaker is friends with him. so for instance it seems he may get lonely, as he seems alone in his house and travels a lot, but it never once questions his love life, and how any of that goes, which seems very odd in a 90 minute documentary about solely this persons life. I think it sugar-coats things a little bit, so, as a piece of art, its not amazing, but as a somewhat entertaining look into the guys life, it is somewhat interesting, and as he seems like a genuinely nice guy, you are rooting for him to comeback from his setbacks. It was also funny....when certain events occur, when he should have learned from past mistakes, so...when he talks about the ills of social media, and other issues, is when the film is the strongest, and...hopefully he learns such things, but based on his behavior it seems likely he will injure himself again in some way.

Overall: nothing amazing artistically but a likable person and an interesting watch.

I enjoyed this "Documentary", and came out of it having a bit more respect for Calum. I mean yeah, he makes REALLY dumb decisions, but who the hell doesn't? All in all he is shown to be human, and a really nice guy at that. Anybody who cares that much for animals is surely a guy you can sympathize with. In regards to his decision making, yeah they are childish and make you scratch your head, but he doesn't really hurt anybody with them, just himself of course and the most important part is that u see him dealing with the consequences ( which definitely can't be easy). I think this film was entertaining and insightful, yeah it could've talked about the drugs and other less pleasant things about the sport but all that is known to anybody who follows bodybuilding or Crossfit, so no big deal. I hope this guy is successful and happy cause , like I said, he seems to be a good guy.
