Especially his wife. Both came across as selfish and self-centered. For example, there is a point in the movie in which the Howe's believe that the WHA "owes" them for Gordie playing. Gordie asked the WHA to play, not the other way around. Instead of rooting for Gordie and his family, I found myself rooting against them. Especially the wife. She didn't work or do anything except spend Gordie's money and try to control everyone around her. The Howe's youngest son was completely written off and the daughter an afterthought. It's hard to relate to the "struggles" of the rich. A terrible movie at best, but at least it did show Howe as the dirty player he was. Unfortunately, it didn't treat the "elbows" as what they were, an infraction of the rules Howe used again and again. This move completely changed my perception of Gordie Howe and I now see him for what he was: a successful, but dirty and selfish, player.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945596937015597963.post-49845634647564920732013-05-05T09:18:18.818-04:002013-05-05T09:18:18.818-04:00the best movie I have seen in a while.
