http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/18/THE-FLYING-SCOTSMAN-Rocky-On-A-Bicycle.aspx It is the inspirational story of Scottish cyclist Graeme Obree, who came out of nowhere to win several world titles.  It is the little guy taking on the establishment and winning, a tale of a man overcoming his demons. Quite frankly, I am a sucker for these kinds of films.  I cheered for the HOOSIERS.  I still REMEMBER THE TITANS.  And when RUDY finally got into a game, my eyes welled up. But in a very manly way. THE FLYING SCOTSMAN is very much like those films. I loved it.  But there was a little problem.  The movie was presumably filmed in Scotland and used Scottish actors.  Or actors who sounded like they were Scottish; and by sounded like they were Scottish I mean they were indecipherable.  There were some sections of the film where I couldn’t make out what was being said.  And it’s not like I didn’t try. In fact, I poured myself a wee dram of whiskey hoping the Scotch would make me more receptive to the Scottish – but sadly that didn’t work. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/18/THE-FLYING-SCOTSMAN-Rocky-On-A-Bicycle.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/18/THE-FLYING-SCOTSMAN-Rocky-On-A-Bicycle.aspx#2129 i couldn't make out what they were saying half the time WAVELYN http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/18/THE-FLYING-SCOTSMAN-Rocky-On-A-Bicycle.aspx#2129 Sat, 10 Nov 2007 01:51:00 GMT http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/18/THE-FLYING-SCOTSMAN-Rocky-On-A-Bicycle.aspx#2531 just was not my cup of tea. you couldn't understand them when they talk WAVELYN http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/18/THE-FLYING-SCOTSMAN-Rocky-On-A-Bicycle.aspx#2531 Thu, 13 Dec 2007 02:25:23 GMT
