Maurice Richard (2005)
the legend and life of that time
20 November 2006 - 3 out of 4 users found this review helpful.
I've just seen the movie at Ljubljana film festival and I'm charmed! As I'm not from North America the name of Maurice Richard to me actually never meant more than a name of trophy. After seeing "The rocket" it changed. It's easier to understand what his name meant and probably still means to French Canadians - not just to hockey fans. A humble man who loved the hockey and his family and suffered injustices until one day he started to change things. I liked acting as well as the scenery of forties and fifties. I can only recommend this movie to everyone who wants to know more about Maurice Richard, the way NHL was functioning that time and what kind of impact he had in Quebec province.
