Haha...
I just read the negative reviews. Let's take this at it's core.
1. Kipchoge is the first and only person in the world who has ever done this. He has been training since he was a child. He grew up in poverty with a single mom. He is a very, very special person from a country that is almost always forgotten on the world stage -- except for safaris and runners.
2. 120,000 live people, plus many many millions around the world, and an entire team of people from various countries all think it's a beautiful moment in human history. It's never been done before, like reaching the moon.
3. You can barely click your finger to watch this amazing spectacle take place in your living room. One man's REAL LIFE victory over his own mind, body, and massive difficulties of life.
4. It was beautiful!
See, dudes, most of us didn't go to film school, and don't believe we have an artists eye (or want one) for documentaries. We want a beautiful story, about a dedicated man who has overcome the odds and done it with humility and community.
I've run a bunch of marathons. I've spent my life running. Watch this if you enjoy the craft and you're not a video snob with a entitled, 1st world perspective. Just enjoy it!
