I don't get the pure hated for this film, sure Zemeckis may not have been the right man for the job but the imagination going in to the GI Joe esque scenes was gold, i only wish it was have gone deeper. Now the film somewhat changes the true meaning of the doc. In that it was a man that coped through his figures, in this he copes through it but is portrayed as total loon while doing so, becoming clingy and at times toxic. Carrel does a great job with all of that said, as does everyone else, but making him a a stalking, pill popper wasn't the best way. There was alot to love about this film, it made me smile, made me cringe(i don't know if it was intentional, i hope it was), made me connect, especially during this lonely time of the year, but if you want to know the real man, the real events and see the real Marwencol, then i urge you to watch the doc.
