Review of The Rocket

The Rocket (2005)
10/10
Great movie, about a true french Canadian hero
27 November 2005
Warning: Spoilers
Over the last few years, we have seen more and more quality french movies from Quebec, Canada. This one is definitely among the best movies ever made in Quebec. The film is really authentic, it has a perfect cast. Nothing was left behind.

The stony is about Maurice Richard, an outstanding hockey player, considered as one of the best who ever played the NHL (every year, the NHL gives the Maurice Richard trophy to the top goal scorer).

More than his exploits on the ice, the movie is about the raise of the french Canadians community, who was suffering from severe discrimination over the English people. The movie shows pretty well the role that Maurice played in the awakening of the people of Quebec.

Top notch quality movie, who may have a shot at the Oscars as the best foreign movie. (C.R.A.Z.Y. might be a contender too.. we'll have to wait and see!) Go see this movie, you will not regret it!
