[@Defossion1]

I rowed for the University of Washington for one year (1986-1987). It was the most physically demanding thing I ever experienced. I still have my race jersey; it symbolizes a "never quit" approach to life for me. I cannot wait to see this movie!

[@BambiBryant]

Go dawgs!

[@dougfriendly7676]

I never rowed but I did graduate from UW, and my connection to this movie goes further because I live in Sequim and my relatives who lived here at the time grew up alongside and knew Joe Rantz who is center of the story. The film is getting pre-screening at UW on Dec. 7 and at Sequim High School on Dec. 8.

[@carolebusching392]

⁠@@dougfriendly7676 That’s awesome I’ve lived in Puyallup my entire life And Shorty Hunt graduated from my high school, Puyallup High School Kind of upset that they didn’t film any of the movie in Washington though Especially since it’s very local history

[@dougfriendly7676]

@@carolebusching392 Yeah, that's a bummer about the filming being done elsewhere. That may have something to do with the fact that Washington state laws make it too expensive to film in this state which is why so many films set here are filmed in British Columbia or Oregon. I graduated from Roosevelt High School in Seattle, which was Joe Rantz' high school.

As one of Bob Moch's grandson's i am incredibly proud to see this incredible, seemingly impossible story come to life on the screen... My grandfather told me this story many times when I was still a child and the full impact of it never really hit me until I saw this film for the first time. Again i want to thank Jenn Gibbons of the George Pocock Foundation for finding an advance ticket for me on December 12th. This story doesnt just tug at the heartstrings... It instills pride in an amazing group of men that beat all of the odds. I was able to take my adult children to see the film last night and all three of us where moved to tears at almost every moment in the film... In closing I genuinely hope that everyone is moved as much as I have been...

As someone who rows, this trailer gave me chills. I’ve been rowing since the summer before seventh grade and plan on doing it in college. I love rowing with every fiber of my being and love that rowing is getting the recognition it deserves through this movie! The book was incredible and I can’t wait to see this film!

I was a singles' sculler in one of the very few university programs that offered sculling in the US. While the training is brutal (esp in early spring, we're talking 5:30 am wake up calls in the freezing cold, followed by the dreaded erg machine), there is something hauntingly beautiful about rowing on the water when all that hard work just comes together. I do miss it.

Finally, a studio that knows how to make a trailer, with inspiring music and an uplifting story. Who knew?

It's a tribute to you, the boys in your boat, and your coaches that you remain friends 40 years later. Congratulations

[@kateluxor2986]

Based on a true story. I watched a special done by PBS about these young men and their coach. Remarkable story. They were incredible. All the obstacles that were put in their way yet they still managed to overcome each one. That documentary was fantastic and I still think about it. I had no idea they'd made a movie out of it. The trailer looks good. I hope George Clooney does this story and those who lived it along with their families, justice. I'll keep my fingers crossed when I go see it.

Diversity = Division Strength comes from unity.

[@brothermoon]

I value diversity when it's truly representative of reality. When it's not (historically, original canon, etc) it just becomes a charade of virtue signaling redistribution - and most often distracts and divides on the failure to be authentic.

[@GreenGrenouille]

I don’t value diversity.

[@markovelikonja5399]

I grew up in Seattle and went to the University of Washington, and I loved the book in part for what it told about both during the 1930s. The book in its organization and presentation almost felt like a screenplay so I’ve been envisioning a movie for nearly a decade. I’m disappointed that they didn’t shoot in Seattle but I’m hopeful that I’ll like the film.

[@rogergrove2453]

My Grandfather rowed for UW in the late 20s. The 1929 photo in the front of the book of the team members sawing a large log has my grandfather, Gail W Burleigh, in it. At Grandpa Burleigh’s funeral, his 3rd son, said he was most proud of his rowing for UW. He was a a dry land boy, very poor, but played defensive end for football in high school and a short time for UW. However, he couldn’t stay in college and had to return to Great Falls to help his single mother pay bills. He was a husband, father to 4 sons, and a cattle rancher in MT the rest of his life. He also helped fight the MannGulch fire of 1949 since he owned the Beartooth ranch close to where to smoke jumpers died. Looking forward to this movie, Susan

[@PatMcAnn]

My mom went to Roosevelt in the 40s and one of these young men was her teacher. Looking forward to seeing this- Go Dawgs!

Read the book 3 times. The great George Yeoman Pocock said, It's a great art, is rowing. It's the finest art their is. It's a symphony of motion. And when you're rowing well, why it's nearing perfection. And when you near perfection, you're touching the Divine. It touches the you of yous. Which is your soul! Do the book proud George Clooney.

In the chapter where the book talks about Washington's race against Princeton, it describes Carnegie Lake in detail.

And as a very competitive dragon boat racer, I can identify with the team. I'll be one of the first people to see it.

[@simonlewis8507]

Bob I think the rowing scenes were all filmed in the U.K. My friend plays Shorty Hunt and I’m pretty sure it was mostly shot here. I know the station scenes were shot at Kings Cross London too! They spent a large part of Spring 22 training on the Thames

[@BobFlisser]

@@simonlewis8507 That's so cool! Tell Bruce I said he did a great job, LOL. All the characters were just like I imagined. Sadly, the whole chapter on the Princeton race was omitted from the movie, as was Joe's early life. I guess there was only so much they could squeeze into two and a half hours.

[@Stephen.Salamunovich]

The scene's that are supposed to depict the Montlake Cut where the UW shell house still sits, look nothing like the actual site at the University of Washington. The CG artists at least attempted to show the Montlake Bridge though the scale was horrifically out off with the original.

I rowed while at Hertford College, U of Oxford (college second “fun” crew). Got hooked instantly. Then, haven’t rowed for thirty years until finally picking up good old C2 (the legendary Model D) during pandemic. I was barely in shape, struggling to break 11 mins 2.5k. Now, after 3 years, almost 5 million meters later and losing 15 lb, I achieved lifetime best of 7:19 2k and routinely go under 20 mins 5k (my UT1 routine) which I didn't actually manage to do in my twenties. This may not look that impressive for a varsity crew but I am 48, only 5’9”, 145lb. Anyway, as a “rower”, Boys in the boat is truly awe-inspiring in the ways that I think only rowers can fully appreciate. The book is a masterpiece and can't wait to see this movie THIS afternoon🤩

I don’t know anything about rowing but I do know I loved that book. Can’t wait for the movie .

Best movie I've ever seen, brilliant work

Rowing in 8's is great because it is a sport that allows David vs. Goliath stories. If a boat is firing on all cylinders, they can punch way above their weight, so to speak.

The kind of feel good films I love and have been longing to watch for a while now. Strength of character persevering and overcoming obstacles. No whining. Simple and great human values. 🙌

I love true, inspirational stories like this! It's amazing what people can accomplish when they are hungry and fighting for their lives! Like the story of the fox and the rabbit; The fox is running for his dinner. The rabbit is running for his life! "A worker’s appetite works for him because his hunger drives him onward." -Proverbs 16:26

As a hs and college coxswain love this book and story. I especially enjoy hearing the cox at the end.

So many movies I’m looking forward to seeing!

This is giving me the Chariots of Fire vibes.

Nothing wrong with that😊. Great book. I wonder if they’ll cover Joe Rantz overcoming being abandoned as a teen. That girl in the trailer was his angel!

I’ve been watching for this movie for so many years

[@samuelaidoo-blay]

One of the best books I ever read! I hope this movie will be able to do justice to this incredible story!
