This movie is based on a true story, and though we can not know how true every element is, the story does come off as believable, at times a bit sad other times uplifting and so on, focusing more on the process than the actual Zero and Hero part

What I like about this story is that it is not afraid to confront the use of people with disabilities to inspire able bodied people... with a whole lot of if he can so should you and so on as there is quite a bit of criticism towards the add industry and how Paralympic athletes are treated. Along side the day to day life and importance becoming a hero has for the athlete with a disability for as as long as they can classify as heroes they will not be treated as badly as other people with disabilities. Do not get them wrong they still get treated as stereotypes, get controlled and risk being used by others to add on the stereotyping of people with disabilities. But at least they have a chance at making a living.

I also like how they show the people in this movie as humans, both the able bodied and disabled people portrayed here are not made to look neither overly pathetic or too heroic. The brother who was brought to the world just to take care of his brother does not just accept his destiny and shows that having a brother with a disability is not always fun and games either.

However there is something about the way it was edited that seemed at times to speak agains itself, on the one hand saying do not use people with disabilities as inspirational crap, but also please look at this montage with violins and mix in the real guy this is based on to try to get the viewers to feel a bunch of emotions which kind of put me off.

To sum it up a pretty good movie, not without its problems but defiantly a movie worth watching.
