This is one of the movies that made me seriously think even a while after I watched them. There are several psychological "planes" that are successfully addressed and intertwine in the movie. But the one about the weaknesses and how they make us allow to reach for the "straw to cling after" is really the harsh one. In this case it shows how even the natural and logical order of values crumbles beneath one's complex, pride or fear. And how such emotional irrationality paves the way for terminal decisions that might eventually have serious consequences not only for the one involved, but for the people around incl. loved ones. As I said, this is a complex movie, where mentioned is only one of subjects that wander through the internal labyrinth of human psyche and external inter-human relationships. For me, it was a hard psychological drama, far from a plain sports movie.
