These are all great quotes. I’ll have to check out Concussion. My fave quote is Dr. Wecht- “You need to touch somebody alive once in a while.”
I remember when the movie came out – but I didn’t think they had so many quotes in it
Oh wow…that is really cool that Will Smith got to see the real Dr. Bennet Omalu in action. I saw this movie…I thought that it was well done.
One of my favorite movies by far so many lessons and messages.
I very much agree that sport injuries can cause some serious damage in no time & it is interesting to see that the Concussion movie deals with it. The Trivia is quiet interesting & the quotes are so great as well.
I haven’t seen the movie but I’m planning on watching it on demand!
