Julia Wu I have no idea how this film can get such a low overall review score. It is by far one of the best films I've seen in the past two decades. What makes it even more exciting is that director Evan Leong and his team started filming way before all the Linsanity hype. Jeremy Lin's story is not just about basketball, it illustrates determination, work ethic, and true resilience in realizing one's dreams. I would recommend this film to people of all ages. It's unfortunate that it is only playing at select theaters, however, I noticed that Amazon and some other sites have an online stream available for purchase - Even though I have seen the film at the Canadian Premiere screening, I am going to watch it again without a doubt. A great underdog story showcasing one of the greatest - yet most humble - players in the NBA. Keep on inspiring Jeremy Lin.
dulcettanne This movie is done brilliantly. It perfectly captures the spirit and essence of both the story behind Jeremy Lin and Linsanity. This movie really warmed my heart and made my tear up many times when I imagined the pain and heartbreak Jeremy had to suffer through to make his dreams come true. It is not a fairytale story but a real story that is still being written in the stars. It is a story that inspires, encourages, and challenges the viewers to take charge of their own lives. This is the type of movie you can take anyone to watch: your significant other, your kids, your family. Everyone of all ages will love watching this movie. I just want to take the time to thank God that we were blessed enough to witness the rise of Linsanity, but more importantly, the rise of a boy with a dream and a powerful drive. I really recommend watching this movie, it was absolutely lincredible!
Whitman Lam I watched it with my brother and his wife (Who will be expecting their first baby next month). We are avid basketball fans, so we knew the story, but this gave us a better glimpse into who he is, rather than the media icon he has become. It was truly inspiring, and proof that heroes can come out of anywhere, even Harvard. I just wish there was more footage of NY Knicks fans screaming their heads off. It was a little different than your usual movie with big budgets, this was very low budget and looked that way. The home video scenes were nicely done. The interviews were interesting, but I wish they had more sides to the story, like interviewing opponents after Jeremy Lin had beaten them. Also wish they would interview more girls (Some of whom were absolutely gone crazy for Jeremy.)
David De Leon "Linsanity" is an actual word, except no one has the actual definition. The most common terminology may be "the awesome feeling of Jeremy Lin winning the ultimate basketball game". My father and I loved watching basketball games together. This is the story of Jeremy Lin's love for this sport and the reality of getting into the NBA. Jeremy Lin is a man of faith and expresses it to us in this documentary. Director Evan Leong stated at the Sundance Q&A the film started out only as a web series and turned into something greater. The story starts with his game against the LA Lakers facing off the legendary LeBron James. Those of us who know Jeremy Lin will already predict the end result but even find a deeper understanding of this incredible player. Leong did a fantastic job bringing this player to life. My only complaint would be the large amount of archival footage and him playing basketball and NBA games. We see that on TV all the time when there needed to be more of knowing him as a character. Great job from the entire team and I hope you get this film for the world to see.
