Terry

A more PC view of Terry's incredible feat that bonded many Canadians and thousands worldwide in a mutual battle. Still & all, got a little verklempt at how personable our hero was portrayed, his pain & endurance clear, but not in your face. Great re-enactments of archive footage for the benefit of a younger audience. A good docu-drama best viewed annually: like "Saving Private Ryan" on D-day, like "Braveheart" on Robbie Burns day, like "The Bells of St. Mary's" at Christmastide; to remind us of the emotional ties we have with the battles we wage. It's not so much the performance but the discussions or private thoughts that ensue.

I loved the movie! It was so good. Those who haven't watched the movie yet, rent it!! Shawn is brilliant in this movie as he portraits Terry Fox. He is such an inspiration to all of us Canadians. He never thought of himself while he ran the Marathon of Hope, but only the children who suffered from cancer all over Canada. He has done such an amazing thing by running across Canada to raise money for cancer research that he gave the children hope that they will survive and that at least somebody cares about them and is willing to do something about it. His dream came true even after his death and his legacy lives on! For 25 years, millions of Canadians have done the Terry Fox run in honor of his memory and they've raised millions of dollars! "A dollar for each Canadian" Terry said, and his dream came true. Terry Fox truly is Canada's biggest hero.

I'd have to say it was a very well done movie. I do not know much about Terry Fox but I think Shawn did a good job of portraying what Terry must have been feeling during that time. I found out at the end of the movie that he died about 4 months after he completed that run. Possibly the hardship he endured getting thru the run sped his eventual decline. But yeah, good job Shawn. He is getting better and better at acting. I think people should see the movie, especially if you do not really know about Terry. By the way, if your are a crier, be warned, this movie will have you bawling. Keep a box of tissues nearby.:) As for the quality of the movie, I think they did a good job making it look and feel like you are back in the late '70s early '80s. All in all, I approve.

Being from Coquitlam, Terry's hometown, and having met many members of the Fox family, this really hit a nerve. With hometown pride and all, in schools they show a video about his life every year. I was glad to see a lot of the shots were recreations of archival footage I've seen a thousand times. It made it seem so real. But this movie did something that the school video couldn't. It delved into his life, when there were no cameras around. I didn't really realize how much pain he was in until I saw this. You just can't really tell what's behind the brave face from old news footage. Definitely something to see, it's both entertaining and inspiring (in a non-cheesy way).

Wow. Shawn did an amazing job of being Terry Fox. The movie was motivational, tasteful, authentic, and used very convincing digital editing. You'll definitely need some tissues though!

I grew up knowing about Terry Fox. We has studied him in school and I knew his story but to see this movie made the miracle of hope much more real to me. I'm the same age as Terry was when he did his run and I'm really amazed that someone my age accomplished so much and was so very mature and wise beyond their years.

I'm moved. Deeply Moved. I really hope they release this one on DVD even though it's suppose to be a TV special.
