《橄榄球星之死》电影简介
Pat Tillman gave up his professional football career to join the Army Rangers in 2002—and became an instant symbol of patriotic fervor and unflinching duty. But the truth about Pat Tillman is far more complex, and ultimately more heroic, than the caricature created by the media. And when the government tried to turn his death into war propaganda, they took on the wrong family. From her home in the Santa Cruz mountains, Pat’s mother, Dannie Tillman, led the family’s crusade to reveal the truth beneath the mythology of their son’s life and death.
Featuring candid and revelatory interviews with Pat''s fellow soldiers as well as his family, Amir Bar-Lev’s emotional and insightful film not only shines a light on the shady aftermath of Pat’s death and calls to task the entire chain of command but also examines themes as timeless as the notion of heroism itself.

《橄榄球星之死》电影评论
之前看惯了迈克摩尔的纪录片以为会是同一种调调,美国法制进程就是靠着Pat Tillman这样的事迹来一点点推动的。不否认每个国家都会有混蛋的政客,但允许发出独立理性的声音这一点永远值得尊敬。不像之前看的《西孟菲斯》,本片算是有理有据结构紧凑
原谅我对这个片的最深印象就是那个在精神上完满的家庭,也许pat的父母是离异了,也许他青梅竹马的妻子最后会改嫁,也许他的兄弟会因为他的死抑郁一辈子,也许他的母亲内心深处还是无法move on,但这都不妨碍这个美国家庭的完满,他们是有纪律有良知的,他们是团结的。
因为Tillman是明星,所以他低调入伍,还是免不了被政府盯上了。而他的死成为了最好的塑造英雄形象的机会。违反了他个人和他家人的意愿,他的死被政客们利用,变成了爱国宣传,推销战争的机会了。纪录片感人之处在于Tillman的人格魅力,以及家人亲人之间的情感。
