Review of I Am Ali

I guess I'm biased because I regard Mohamad Ali as a role model and look up to him. The movie is a stripped back revelation of not only why people like me respect Ali but reveals his controversial episodes, his infidelity, which doesn't detract from his loving nature toward all family members and that love is clearly reciprocated. We are privileged to be granted access to numerous recordings of conversations he had with his kids over the telephone which were seemingly whilst he was away from them giving us a sense that he didn't wish to be absent but was, making his story all the more touching. His boxing peers and rivals all respect him and bow to the fact that he was probably the greatest of all time, but not just as a fighter, but as a human being, if you love Mohamad Ali, this movie will make you cry as much as his antics will bring you joy and make you laugh, this is about a real person, and that's why the tears are so real also, a movie to own on Blu Ray, God bless him, for me, best new film I've seen in a long time.
